I tend to think it all depends on whether the winner of Cincy/UConn also takes the AAC autobid. If that happens, the committee may say that the AAC deserves a second team.

I actually think the AAC will get a second team almost for sure.

Tulsa or Houston will be in the AAC final.

If Tulsa makes the finals and loses to us (or Temple, or Cincy), they will be 22-11 with an RPI ~38, SOS ~50, and a decent number of Top 50 and Top 100 wins.

Houston, on the other hand, likely has to win out.

Still, I think the AAC definitely gets 2, possibly 3, with an outside shot (if all the stars align) to get 4. We're closer to 2 than four, though.

Oops, this was meant to be a reply to Mau's question. Regardless, everyone should know what they need to do this Friday at 2pm regardless of what else might be on their calendar. Hint - it involves a TV and some Rolling Rocks...

Then I guess we root for a Cincy/Houston final if UConn loses.

If we lose on Friday, root for Cincy to beat Temple in the semis. I think at that point, we get in ahead of Temple. I know people might think I'm crazy because Temple will have beaten us twice, but our RPI will be roughly the same, but we will have much better numbers against them everywhere else, especially in non-league play. And Temple has some bad losses.
 
Confirms what we all (or most of us) have said. The two best teams are playing in the 4/5 game

Haven't seen any roll calls for Orlando as of yet...I will be there with 5 others for the whole weekend. Looks like tickets are reasonable and plentiful thus far.

Anyone else in? Chin...you making the drive???

Plus there will be tickets on the ground for the tournament. I could probably do a 3 day stay (room AND tickets) for about 130 dollars. :-)

All I see is Kronin working the heck out of the ref's and Miller and Brimah will be in foul trouble the entire game.

How can Cronin intimidate any zebras? He's lucky if he's 4' 11" standing on a step stool.

He reminds me of our junior HS coach. Guy was the same height as Cronin, but to compensate for it he used to jump up and down on one of those metal, cafeteria-style folding chairs every time the refs blew a call. Every ref in our league thought he was completely crazy, which he was.

Agreed. If Mick was forced to play Ollie one-on-one, he would have no chance. Kind of like how our team has little shot on Friday.

Height is irrelevant. It's level of crazy that matters. I can totally see refs sprinting for the tunnels with the mad leprechaun following close on their heels, spewing fire and brimstone and foaming at the mouth.

If Brimah and Miller stay out of foul trouble and Hamilton doesn't have a mental breakdown, I think we hold on. Lots of ifs though.

Bruh, we have no shot at all. You guys have a first and second teamer while we only have a 2nd teamer and a lousy honorable mention.

We've never beat UConn in a post season game dude! You've knocked us out of the AAC Tournament two straight years, I see no reason for anything to change. I just hope we keep it close so the NIT will grant us a bid.

No man. You own us this year.

Our team stinks. No D, Heartless and Gutless.

My bracket will remain perfect with a loss.

From top to bottom this team deserves a loss. what this is the AAC tourney and they ought to be ashamed of this display of basketball.

No Khalid
No Freeman
No John Gwynn
No Kemba
No Chris Smith
No Emeka

This team lacks all the great qualities the above mentioned had -- heart, passion and desire.

I feel like Cronin gets away with murder with the refs because he's so small. Like he can jump up and down and scream and shout at the refs (and does most games) and doesn't get a T ever. All KO has to do is 'accidentally'.... 'mistakenly'... chuck a desk's worth of papers onto the basketball court. I do mean this earnestly though, I feel like Cronin is allowed to bicker like Coach K at the refs and never gets a T... I guess our coach is just much more "threatening" looking if you know what I mean, that's very fair
 
[QUOTE=". I guess our coach is just much more "threatening" looking if you know what I mean, that's very fair[/QUOTE]

That would be interesting to research.

You guys are going to win. Thinking a Philip Nolan banked 40 footer at the buzzer for a 56-54 UConn win. We have no shot.

Nice try at stealing mojo Kobe. It won't work twice. You did this before the game a couple weeks ago. Methinks you went to the well once too often and the mojo gods don't take kindly to that.
