2016 AAC Tournament Bracket

[kobe]

Here's the updated bracket and games remaining for the top 5:

1. Temple: Memphis, @Tulane
2. Cincinnati: @Houston, SMU
3. Houston: Cinci
4. Tulsa: USF
5. Connecticut: @SMU, UCF

We get to avoid UConn, Tulsa and Temple until the finals? Yummy. I hope it stays like this!

Unfortunately for you guys, this is spring frost. You play Houston, and so they either fall to the 4-5 game, or beat you and force you to the 4-5 game.

Anyone know what the tiebreakers would be in the event of a 3 way tie between Houston, Cincinnati and Tulsa? Assuming Temple wins the league.

 

[johnhuskies95]

Looks like win or lose for both teams over the weekend it will be Cincinnati-UConn in the first round if the AACT, unless Tulsa somehow loses to USF at home and Cincinnati beats SMU.

As long as it's not at improper fraction arena, we can beat them.

Seeds 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 are set.

Everything about that bracket makes me want to puke.

 

[champs99and04]

The fact that we finished sixth in this conference is absolutely mind-blowing to me. Only one way to make up for it, and that's by winning the conference tournament.

I love the draw, will be rooting hard for Cincy on Sunday to lock up that 3 spot

@tcf15 @Jerry1714 are you sure that's right? Was posted yesterday that Cincinnati/UConn was likely the 4/5 match-up.

Think that's just being assumed because Cinci has to play SMU and Tulsa has to play USF before standings are finalized.

AAC website still has 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 seeds still up for grabs: http://theamerican.org/sports/2015/9/28/CHAMP_0928150250.aspx?path=mbball

I think @kobe mentioned this at one point, but if the 4/5 matchup is UConn vs Cincinnati, that will be the 12th time in a little over 3 years that they've played each other. And it's pretty much even - 6 wins for Cinci and 5 wins for UConn.

Let's avoid that until the title game, if possible.

 

[UConnRock]

Seems pretty simple. Need to win 2 to get in. Getting by Tulsa only gets to Temple again. That would essentially be a play in game.

We'd need Tulsa to lose at home to USF and Cincinnati to beat SMU. UConn is locked into the 5 seed.

If you guys beat SMU, you won't have the tie-breaker against Tulsa?

There would be a 3-way tie between UC, Tulsa and Houston. All three are 2-2 vs the other two. Then the tie-breaker goes to record vs 1st place and since we are 0-2 vs Temple we lose to both Tulsa and Houston.

So if Tulsa wins Saturday are you guys locked into the 4 seed?
