If Memphis beats both Cincinnati and SMU, then we beat Louisville. Would the seating be as follows.

1 UL
2 Cinc ( assuming they beat RU )
3 UConn
4 Memphis
5 SMU

Let me know if this is correct or if I am missing something . Looking for something to root for. Thanks in advance

I think there is also a chance of us playing SMU in the 4/5 game.

Assuming the best case scenario of us beating L'Ville on Sat:

If we're assuming Cinci will beat Rutgers then the Memphis @ Cinci game tonight doesn't matter to us. In that case, we need SMU to lose @ Memphis in order to get the 3 seed.

However, if Cinci loses out and SMU loses @ Memphis, we would be the 2 or 3 seed. I'm not sure which because I don't know what the tie breakers for the AAC are beyond head-to-head record.

Does anyone actually know the tie breaking rules for this conference? Also, correct me if I'm wrong about any of those scenarios. This can get confusing.

Good point. If Memphis wins out and we lose @ L'Ville, it should be UConn v SMU in the 4/5 matchup.

My first preference (even if we win this weekend): avoid Louisville until the finals, hope they lose before then. Then, if we can accomplish this while also avoiding SMU (who we just seem to match up poorly with), I'd be really happy.

Best scenario for title: Houston-Cincy-Memphis. I'd be really happy with that.

Thanks for info. I could be wrong, but the Cinci game does matter to us for 1 reason. If all the pro UConn events happen ( UM beats SMU , we beat UL ), then we would want Cinci to get 1 more loss. Assuming they are going to beat RU. Because then UL and Cinci would be tied for first, but I believe UL wins tie breaker and Cinci would be a 2 seed and us a 3 seed.

I would rather have to face Cinci in semi's then UL. Obviously a long shot for all these things to happen, but you can always hope.

And as they say . Be careful what you wish for, because it may come true.

I'd much rather play SMU in comparison to Memphis.

Even though we have lost to SMU twice and beat Memphis both times I think I would still rather face SMU on a neutral court than Memphis pretty much on the road.

I totally agree with you. I don't think UConn wants to play Memphis

Updated possible scenarios after last night:

http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=17&f=2755&t=12713770

That guy has way too much time. :) Awesome chart.

Summary:
SMU will be 3 seed, UCONN the 4, UNLESS:
We beat Ville, Memphis beats SMU.

Memphis will be 5 seed, UNLESS:
We beat Ville, Memphis beats SMU, Rutgers beats Cincy.

So - root like hell for a UCONN and Memphis 2-fer.
