AAC Tournament Games Thread

This game turned ugly fast. Butler-UConn repeat in the 2nd half. Refs not helping allowing defenses to maul each other and than calling illegal screens to negate a made 3.

I thought this was supposed to be Cincinnati's "best offensive" team. Brick brick brick from outside.

Neither team can score at all.

 

[ASweet3781]

Out of the timeout the refs FINALLY call a hold away from the ball on BOTH teams. They have been doing it ALL game.

 

[Drew]

Cincinnati is on a 9 minute scoring drought and Houston is on a 4 minute scoring drought. Yikes.

Watching Cincy play continues to be the worst.

Gray playing hero ball taking off balanced jumpers and missing lay ups on one possession.

Refs have finally figured out neither team can score because they are holding and grabbing each other away from the ball. Now calling it.

This makes me a little nervous for the AAC. Some 5'9 guy on Jacksonville St is going to get hot while Cincy struggles to score 55 points and Cincy gets upset early.

That’s pretty much exactly what is going to happen.

It wouldn't be Cincinnati in March if it didn't!

Thoroughly enjoy that Raftery can float between doing the Big East games for Fox and just slide on over to CBS/Turner come tourney time.

Jesus Houston.

 

[Rico444]

This is a pretty good final. Tied with 33 seconds, Houston ball.

College refs continue to be the worst.

 

[the Q]

College refs continue to be the worst.

They bailed out Cincy badly the last few minutes.

Really bad.

 

[Robertelamin]

Lol

 

[the Q]

Gray can’t give up the ball there.

 

[ASweet3781]

LOL Gray was a BASKET CASE down the stretch. A bundle of nerves.

He got absolutely killed on one play and then got hit wih a foul immediately after. While Cincy got 2 made up gifts to keep hem in the game right before hat.

 

[Travelman6]

Loved that pass with a second left, lol!

Serves him right for rocking that man bun.

 

[Mots010]

Cincy didn’t even have to run a play in the last 30 seconds.

 

[Travelman6]

So does Cincy get a 2 seed?

The way the committee has shown a lack of respect for the AAC these past few years I could see them getting a 3 and meeting up with Kentucky in the 2nd round.

But personally I think, at 30-4, winning the AAC season and tourney, they deserve outside consideration for 1. But that won't happen. Nova and Virginia are very clearly 1 seeds. Maybe MSU but that fourth one seems open.

WE DIDNT LOSE

If the past is any indication they probably end up with a 4 seed.

I know, could imagine that happening and WSU and/or Houston getting something silly like an 8 or 9.
