AAC in NCAA Tourny

[UCfor3]

Regardless. A 7-11 Big 12 team has no business making the tourney and they made it with ease as a 9 seed. The Big 12 is lousy this year and generally overrated every year. Kansas is a great program but there is a reason they won 14 straight conference championships, and while that's impressive, it has more to do with the conference than them being some unbeatable juggernaut. Even if Temple stinks, I'd rather see them on principle alone.

Can't wait for this rivalry to be rekindled down the line as an ESPN+ exclusive.

There are ten teams in the NIT better than Temple.

 

[whaler11]

Temple is better than Belmont. Just need to keep Rose on the court.

Belmont -3 on a neutral floor. So... no.

 

[Robertelamin]

Temple is playing like UConn. Boneheaded turnovers, terrible shots and dumb fouls.

 

[storrsroars]

Temple has more individual talent, but Belmont is the better team. Temple has zero inside presence, offensively and defensively.

That's been abundantly clear the past few minutes. Belmont can score at will inside.

 

[UconnU]

Philly legends Fran Dunphy and Phil Martelli going out on same day?

Temple is playing like UConn. Boneheaded turnovers, terrible shots and dumb fouls.

It's AAC basketball in a nutshell.

Temple was playing good D, getting steals, getting into transition, and Belmont missed a couple shots. Temple took control of the game.

Then Temple put it's subs in. Oof. Missed defensive assignments, throwing the ball away. 0 threat to score. Reminded me of UConn.

So Belmont settled down and hit 2 layups/inside shots. Temple couldn't get out in transition. They had to play in the half court, and then Rose would do a spin move and force a floater, it'd miss, Alston missed 4 straight 3s, and Belmont would come down and hit a 3. Game over.

Why is this conference inept in the NCAA tournament

 

[Jaker]

Don't be surprised if the AAC goes 0-4 in this tourney. None of the teams were really that good.

 

[UConnNick]

Looks like Dunphy will be done tonight. Belmont is the far better coached team in this game...very tough and disciplined. Temple is a train wreck.

The teams aren’t good?

Don't be surprised if the AAC goes 0-4 in this tourney. None of the teams were really that good.

Excuse me if I'm surprised Houston loses to Georgia State.

If you thought Temple was a train wreck when forced to execute in the halfcourt...you just wait for Houston.

How bad do you have the be to finish in 9th in this league?

 

[Robertelamin]

Are Temple fans really going to miss Fran?

 

[whaler11]

Don't be surprised if the AAC goes 0-4 in this tourney. None of the teams were really that good.

UCF can’t make a FT which may doom them if the kid from VCU is healthy. That’s a literal toss up. Houston is going to win at least a game, and I think Cincinnati will get at least one too.

If Cinci dumps that game to Iowa... yuck.

 

[UConnNick]

Candace Parker is an analyst now for espn?

She's on TruTV tonight, not ESPN. She was a studio analyst for them throughout the tourney last year as well.

 

[wheelerdog]

News flash! This conference sucks.

 

[Jaker]

Excuse me if I'm surprised Houston loses to Georgia State.

LOL you would think

 

[Jaker]

the only thing trending up in the AAC is the mediocrity

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

would anyone here buy any gear promoting the AAC conference?

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

would anyone here buy any gear promoting the AAC conference?

So since the league is bad, we shouldn't support it?

 

[Scoe]

would anyone here buy any gear promoting the AAC conference?

Hell no I would burn it and if I saw anyone of you wearing gear to promote the AAC ill burn it myself whether anyone would be wearing it or not.

 

[Jaker]

that big white kid was good, can't wait to see him against the Terps
