Like Temple's draw as a 10 better than ours as a 9

In NY and if they can get by Iowa, they get Nova, the perennially over-rated team out of the Big Least.

This is true, winning the tournament should be a 7.

I can't believe they put 2 of 3 AAC teams in the same group. Were they afraid we'd get 3 into the FF?

Guess you haven't seen the leaked bracket. Tulsa somehow got in.

Iowa in the 1st round? no thanks. Getting them as a 7 seed i not a favor by any means to Temple or any other 10 seed for that matter.

It wasn't all that long ago that Iowa was in the #1 seed conversation

We don't complain about our road through the tournament being too tough. We embrace the challenge and leave our opponents shaking their heads.

I'd kill to be a 10 seed in NYC. Not that Temple fans will even make the 90 minute trip. What a waste

Nope, and that news would have knocked me over like a feather.

Nonsense. Iowa is stumbling but can be seriously good, much better than Colorado. Nova is no easy out either and would be tough for UConn.

8/9 is a brutal spot, but if you can beat that #1, you get their draw the rest of the way.

I think it's a win for the American as a whole if everyone gets by their first game. The matchups are not easy across the board.

An intriguing game is Tulsa/Michigan - and then potentially Tulsa/ND. Tulsa, when playing well, can take down Notre Dame.

Last I checked, Nova dismantled Temple at Temple.
