AAC Tourney thread

Their RPI is already 45. It's going to drop after this loss into the...

They have fallen to 52 for now. That eliminates top 50 wins (and losses) for the other top 4 in the AAC.

At worst they'd be in the First Four. But keep trying to push that everything sucks.

Too many teams are still playing. SMU needs a sweep of losses by Missouri, Cal, Pitt, and Iowa, among others.

On the flip side, Houston is no longer a 150+ RPI loss for UConn and Memphis

This will likely be my last time rooting for Rutgers.

I have been rooting for Rutty as well, but they look almost as bad as we did against L'ville

Louisville ends the half on a 45-6 run. Leading 58-16. Wow.

A lot of tongue slobbering over how good SMU and Larry Brown were when they beat us in Gampel but that loss always said more about us than them. They are just not a very good team outside of Moody Coliseum and that's been pretty proven all year. Houston didn't even play that great down the stretch and still won. The Cougs threw one punch at SMU to start the 2nd half and SMU basically played tight the rest of the way.

But with the way Louisville is playing right now it probably doesn't matter.

I thought maybe that score was an error. Holy Crap.

Lousiville's zone is basically just a 3/4 court press for 40 minutes. They are 100% pressure 100% of the time.

I really really hope they aren't turning it on at the right time here ...

Figures to be a tight second half as Louisville clings to a 42 point lead at the break.

Rutgers scored 16 point in the first half...16 points. I've seen 5th grade girls teams score more than that and half of them cant even get the ball up to the basket. Rutgers should simply drop basketball and use the money they save to bring back some program they cut.

Didn't we score 18?

 

[Huskies4ever]

Didn't we score 18?

Yeah, but we only gave up 30.

 

[tykurez]

Didn't we score 18?

Yup. Light years better than 16. We were more like plucky girl scouts.

Do you think delaney is getting emails right now from B1G university presidents asking "WTF were you thinking?" and "you think these clowns are going to deliver New York?" and "we paid $30 million a year for this?" and "are you working on your resume, because you should be?"

Good idea. Let's get busy.

Looks like Rutgers has 2 feet out the door already. Well I guess that isn't any different than how they were in the Big East for the last 10 years!

 

[Kitaman]

Wow! Ville's last 2 games margin of victory is too painful for me to add up, but I'm sure its monstrous.

 

[storrsroars]

Just saw the stat with 4:30 left... Ville has 44 points on turnovers.

I don't think I've ever heard of anything remotely close to that.

Louisville is the best team in the country.

If the officials call the game tight they can lose. If they are allowed the full benefit of their athleticism, it will be very hard to beat them.

I didn't think they would be able to replace what they lost from last season in Dieng and Siva. But they look like they are on the way to another final four, I think.

Two extremely good matchups for them these past two games. They beat Rutgers by almost 50 a few weeks ago as well.

They really are clicking though ... really would hate to see them win back-to-backs.

Ville demolished us in the last game. They are now up 60 points on RU. What do you call that?

92-31 final.
