Agreed, 21 to 22 wins plus winning the AAC Conference Tournament should get us in the NCAA tournament

The Bubble
I can't imagine us not being on the bubble at this point. We've beaten the top 3 teams in the league. We are one of the hottest teams in the country right now. We obviously still have work to do, but I can't see a justification for a team like Memphis being considered "on the bubble" while we...

Zach Edey returning to Purdue shakes up Bracketology in a big way
Kansas remains the clear preseason No. 1, but the Boilermakers have slipped in behind the Jayhawks as a probable repeat 1-seed with revenge on their minds.

So who says we are officially on the bubble. A boneyarder? That makes it official? We won't be on the bubble unless we win 3 in the AAC tournament.
Damn. Look at two of the Last Four In: Xavier and Indiana. Those are two teams UConn should've beat. Naji Marshall hit a hell 3 pter to tie the game-that was from Ray Allen and Stephan Curry distance.Zach Edey returning to Purdue shakes up Bracketology in a big way

I am with you ucp990411. I love the way the Huskies are playing lately now and it bodes well for next year for sure, but they are not on the bubble, at least not yet. They have a bad road record and lost to St. Joe's (6-24 record).
One game at a time fellow fans. Let's just beat Tulane on Sunday.

Yup. Gotta think if we flip both those were squarely on the bubble at 20-10
I feel reasonably confident that winning the AAC tournament will get us in the NCAA

So let's say we win the whole thing, because I don't think just two more wins in this tournament will get us an at-large. Who, besides maybe Houston, gets an at-large bid?

Uconn and SMU need to win the AAC to get in. Tulsa probably needs to win the AAC or get to championship game. Memphis and Cincinnati may get in with 2 wins in AAC tourney. Houston and Wichita should be fine with one win in tourny. These teams only beat up on each other. No real great out of conference wins. Wichita seems to have the best collection of wins over P5 teams.

The AAC is far closer to being 1-bid than 4-bid.

You far over-rate this conference and the committee's perception of it.
How some of us still squint to make this conference look like a potential 4-bid league, 7 years going, amazes me.
unfortunately yes. I would like to see 4-5 teams from the American because I like the teams and I think they are solid, but that's just not realistic.

Whether or not people here THINK we should be on the bubble - we are not - at least by any source I've seen. That being said - the Athletic thinks we can win the tourney and be a bid stealer. There is nobody in the AAC bracket that scares me at this point - but we also haven't won enough away from home. As far as I'm concerned - the tournament continues tomorrow. Just keep winning.

Is there an 'official' bubble? Should we get tee shirts?

Those 2 games still piss me off to no end. Definitely should have won both. Huskies played like crap against Indiana and were still in it until the end. If those games were played today I have no doubt UConn wins both.
