Message: [QUOTE="McLovin, post: 3317043, member: 9450"] Last year Temple finished 3rd in AAC with a 23-10 overall record and was selected one of the "last 4 in"... I think to have a legit shot, I would think we need to be top 3 in a conference that is weaker in the middle than it was last year. With a 4th place finish we could be a bubble team depending on how we handle the OOC schedule and how deep we go in the conference tournament. USF was picked to finish 5 in the AAC this year in the preseason coaches poll, UConn was picked 6. Seeing how little respect the AAC has been given by the selection committee over the years (a top 25 SMU team was LEFT OUT of the tournament one year), we going to have to do better than just finish ahead of USF to have a realistic chance of getting an at large bid assuming the selection committee hasn't had a massive overhaul of their selection criteria.
