Committee to American:

[JSB60]

Every team under seeded by two.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Every team under seeded by two.

Amazing how much they disrespected the league. SMU out. Shocking. With Louisville gone next year it will be a two of three bid league.

 

[Jerry1714]

Memphis was the only team they got right.

I wont complain about our bracket though

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

Let's face it, the new reality for the AAC is having your best team getting a four seed. The committee did a horrendous job based on advanced stats, but right now you sit here and basically say the AAC is the 7th or 8th best hoops conference. And that's before Louisville leaves.

Its bleak

 

[Wise2]

and SMU left out after every site had them a lock

 

[4UConn]

Absolutely disgraceful. UConn a SEVEN?!&^%*

 

[TheRogers]

What pissed me off is that they bunched everyone except Ville in the east. BS move no doubt. We can't even make noise as a conference because we'll end up playing each other.

 

[kobe]

You guys got a much better draw that Cincinnati. We have Harvard and then probably Michigan State. Yikes.

 

[mcs333]

ACC led the committee. That is why NC State got in.

 

[CAHUSKY]

If you're going to be a 7 seed you definitely want Nova as your 2 seed.

 

[willie99]

maybe the worst committee ever

Louisville a 4, joke
our seed is two spots lower than our RPI and our rankings, joke
AAC, 3 out of 4 teams in 1 region, criminal act
and the South bracket is crazy strong

as brain dead as brain dead can be

 

[socal613ws]

So this is why teams like Cincinnati want out of the american...

 

[metsfan2323]

The "committee" is clearly a bunch of useless dolts, just let the computers pick the teams. Louisville a 4 seed is absurd. UMASS ahead of us makes no sense.

 

[BearJWS]

Lots of talk of AAC being under ranked & SMU dropped.
Will look silly when AAC teams advance.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

If you're going to be a 7 seed you definitely want Nova as your 2 seed.

Agreed. We got screwed but as the Cinci fan mentioned, I'd rather be in our spot then theirs.

 

[upstater]

Harvard is not that good. St. Joseph's is a much better team.

 

[ASweet3781]

Not only the seeding, Cincy, UConn, Memphis in the same bracket.

Advance against whom? UConn, Cincy and Memphis are in the same bracket with low seeds against tough teams.

The bracket is basically built to make the AAC fail. Louisville has to contend with Michigan, Wichita St and one other tough team I can't remember. Cincy and Memphis could meet early. UConn, if for some reason we get that far, will see them in the F8.

On the one hand, UConn beats St. Joseph's and Villanova, and the path may clear--but still.

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

Wonder what will be the comments if/when the Ville gets to Final 4.

 

[cordeodato]

Harvard is trendy no doubt. Way overrated by talking heads, also no doubt

 

[Wise2]

Wonder what will be the comments if/when the Ville gets to Final 4.

If Ville makes it back to the FF, they will just say its great for the ACC getting another strong team.. They punished the rest of us

 

[HooperScooper]

Omg the AAC got screwed. This is our lot going forward being in a mid-major conference. Please get us the he11 out of this conference!

 

[boba]

If you're going to be a 7 seed you definitely want Nova as your 2 seed.

And if you're a disrespected 4, WSU (whp played who) is going to be feast.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This league is a death sentence for UConn athletics. I don't know why people keep arguing with me about that.

There's a cat in a tin foil hat, who might have something to say about that. I'm not one for conspiracies, but they couldn't have screwed the league more if they had tried.
