Can we get an updated AAC bracket?

[JB75]

I don’t want the day wave. Most people work during day. That wud require me to dvr game and turn my phone off. Hope we get the night section of the bracket Thursday and Friday. 7pm or 9:30 tips wud be perfect. Wud love if we cud avoid cincy and houston(especially Houston) as much as possible. I think if us, Houston and whichita st win, the pairings work out in our favor

 

[JB75]

1. Tulsa (14 - 4)

2. Houston (13 - 5) Defeated Cincinnati based on winning percentage against #12 teams [Tulane] (1-0).
3. Cincinnati (13 - 5) Lost to Houston based on winning percentage against #12 teams [Tulane] (0-1).

4. Wichita St (10 - 8) Defeated Memphis and UConn based on round-robin record (2-1).
5. Memphis (10 - 8) Defeated UConn and lost to Wichita St based on round-robin record (2-2).
6. UConn (10 - 8) Lost to Wichita St and Memphis based on round-robin record (1-2).

So would be UConn vs. loser of ECU/UCF game tomorrow in 1st round, then Cincy, then Houston likely.

That wud be awful. Cincy in quarters then Houston in semis ? Worst case scenario

 

[JB75]

UConn would be 5 seed. First round against 12 Tulane. 2nd round Wichita St. Semi's would be winner of Cincy/Temple/USF pod. Then whomever else in Final

This wud be perfect.

So if:
Tulsa beats Wichita
Houston beats Memphis
UCONN beats Tulane
That puts us in a tie for 4th
Does this mean Wichita gets the bye and we are in the Wichita bracket?

 

[CTBasketball]

What we want today is:

Houston to beat Memphis
UConn to beat Tulane
Wichita St to beat Tulsa

That'll give us the 5 seed, where we'd play Tulane RD1, then Wichita St RD2, then likely Cincinnati RD3.

it’s natural we end our rivalry with Cinci on a high note in the AAC tournamen.

We also don't want Houston 2x in a week AND like 20 miles from their campus.

 

[CTBasketball]

What we want today is:

Houston to beat Memphis - Cougars 9 pt favorites
UConn to beat Tulane - UConn 6.5 pt favorites
Wichita St to beat Tulsa - Shockers 6.5 pt favorites

That'll give us the 5 seed, where we'd play Tulane RD1, then Wichita St RD2, then likely Cincinnati RD3.

How do we own the tiebreaker over Memphis?

Counterpoint, that leaves open a scenario where we'd beat Cincy and Houston and lose in the finals which would put us very close to an at large bid

One game at a time, starting with a win today... but if there’s a team I wouldn’t want to play again, it’s Houston.

How do we own the tiebreaker over Memphis?

From a few posts up

We split with Memphis.. so the next tie-break comes down to the highest ranked team where there is a difference between the two records. That would be Tulsa.. we split, Memphis lost.

Avoid both Texas schools at all costs.

3 o’clock game means I’ve got to pre-occupy my students for the last hour of the day so I can “check emails & grade” anxiously at my desk.

Will be blocking off calendar immediately after game if we get a day slate. Possibly even a “doctors appointment” at 3

Hope you feel better--Sure hope it isnt coronavirus LOL

Fort Worth is about 260 miles from Houston. You're probably thinking about Dallas, which is about 30 miles from Fort Worth. But 260 miles is still a lot closer than the 1,700 miles CT is to Fort Worth.

From running quick scenarios it basically comes down to Tulsa and/or Memphis winning and we'll be the 6, if they both lose we'll be the 5

Why does it matter that WSU wins for us to have a chance at the 5 seed? I can see why Memphis has to lose because then we would both be 1-1 vs Houston and would give Memphis the same record as us. Memphis is 1-1 vs WSU; we are 0-1 vs WSU. Memphis is 0-1 vs Tulsa; we are 1-1 vs Tulsa. We win out there because we beat the better team. If WSU loses they would be 0-2 vs Tulsa, which would make us the only team out of the three teams to beat Tulsa. And furthermore, if Memphis and WSU lose today and we win, that would make for a 3 way tie for 4th place; since WSU is 0-2 vs Houston, Memphis wins out there because they are 1-1 vs Houston making Memphis the 5 seed and WSU the 6 seed. By that logic, shouldn’t WSU and Memphis both have to lose today for us to get the 4 seed, not the 5 seed?

Does anybody really think Tulsa is going into Koch arena and beating Wichita on their own floor today? That place will be a hornet's nest. They only beat them by 3 on their own floor. I'm not a Frank Haith fan in a big road game. I wouldn't bet my enemies money on that game to take Tulsa.

I would take WSU to win, but this year has been crazy so a Tulsa win wouldn’t surprise me.

This is how the 3 way tie plays out, we'd be the 6 seed, not 4

4. Wichita St (10 - 8) Defeated Memphis and UConn based on round-robin record (2-1).
5. Memphis (10 - 8) Defeated UConn and lost to Wichita St based on round-robin record (2-2).
6. UConn (10 - 8) Lost to Wichita St and Memphis based on round-robin record (1-2).

Shockers favored by 7 over Tulsa

UConn by 7 over Tulane

UCF by 7 over ECU

Houston by 9 over Memphis

6. UConn (10 - 8) Lost to Wichita St and Memphis based on round-robin record (1-2).

Ok I see now. They treat it as a mini tournament between those three teams. Thank you!
