Busy day for AAC

[Balker]

Wichita St up 4 on Baylor at half. Good game. Greg Marshall is a hell of a coach.

Every year. Cincy beats up on some cupcakes -"They finally have a team that can score!". Cincy finally faces a real team - Same ole Cincinnati. Seems Mick Cronin represented himself well in the post game. What a tool.

Do the UConn can never attract a good coach brigade have an answer for how Xavier seems to loses coaches and find ones that keep them relevant? We know Gonzaga and Wichita have been passed off as faulty models to emulate but Xavier has lost multiple coaches in the last 15 years.

Please elaborate on why?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Cincy has literally done ZERO for this conference since the start of the AAC. They consistently suck in big games out of conference. Great that they play like gangbusters in conference play, but they literally are half the reason the AAC has such a bad image as a league (you can't have your first place team go out and get pounded every year out of conference). That being said, UConn should be stepping up to carry this league, we shouldn't be leaving that job to Cincy, SMU, WSU or anyone else for that matter.

They haven’t gotten out of the first weekend but they have been the only consistent AAC presence in the Tournament

Arguably more valuable for the AAC than our NC as far as an indicator of the power of the conference

Apparently there's a reason too as Mack said there are 2 sides to the story. I would side with Mack on this, Mick's an a**.

I was more curious as to you pointing to the whole Big East as not liking the kid?

Houston pitching the shutout early against Arkansas, 9-0 6 minutes in.

SMU and USC is a good game. Neck-and-neck in the second half.

 

[SouthBayHusky]

SMU taking care of business. Up 7 against USC. They win this will likely have our third ranked team in the conference with Houston in Temple potential‘s down the road

 

[awfuldan]

USC all of a sudden looking like UConn when we play at Moody. SMU is hitting on everything - circus shots, alley oops, and three after three after three.

Up 14 with 6:28 to go.

Beat Zona and USC, lose to UNI and WKU. All good teams, but probably the reverse of the expected outcome for each game.

Pretty damn successful day for the AAC. Of the four big match-ups (Cincy/Xavier, Wichita/Baylor, Houston/Arkansas, SMU/USC) the conference won three of them and pretty handily. UConn, UCF, and Temple all look respectable as well.

Meanwhile at the bottom...

USF get slaughtered by App ST woof

Houston ended up killing Arkansas. The same Arkansas that crushed UConn.

Logical prediction for our Houston game: Houston 124, UConn 51.

 

[Guapo]

Does Tulane have a shot at UNC today?

 

[awfuldan]

Temple down 15 at halftime to GW. That team has been wildly inconsistent thus far this year. At times, they look like a shoo-in for 3rd place in the conference, and then at others they can't get past mid-majors.

UCF playing ranked Alabama right now. About to tune in.

 

[Jaker]

Does Tulane have a shot at UNC today?

no

 

[awfuldan]

no

Yep. UNC is down from last year and Tulane is a bit improved, but they still aren't even close.

 

[tcf15]

UCF beats #24 Alabama in Alabama. Good win for them.

No doubt. Alabama got pretty much every call down the stretch too, but the Knights pulled it out. And that's without some of their better players.
