You are insane. I would much rather win the conference tournament than get an extra aac team in.

No you are.

Well if you say so.

Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 1:39 pmWe want SMU to win the conference, so that we get a better seed, increasing our chances of earning lots of units for our conference.
Re: ncaa tourney credits
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 1:51 pmFunny argument. I lean toward wanting to win out including the tournament for competitive reasons But it's not insane to want more teams from our league to make the tourney so we get more money. If it's at the expense of a better match up for us, I will take the better matchup but I can at least understand the line of thinking.

Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 2:49 pmSMU is going to have difficulty winning a 3 day tournament anyway-Cincy has more depth
Re: ncaa tourney credits
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 2:54 pmIf SMU had to lose then sure it is reasonable to want a team besides Cincy to win the tournament. However, if you are saying you want SMU to lose in the tourney then that means you would actively cheer against SMU in the finals against a team besides Cincy. Insane.
Re: ncaa tourney credits
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 3:15 pmBest result: Someone beats Cincy in Semis, and plays us in finals. Then if we win we are happy, and if we lose, someone else gets tournament bid.
Re: ncaa tourney credits
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 4:26 pmIts insane to say I would root against SMU. My only point is that 3 teams in the tourney is better long term for us than us winning the AAC tourney.
Re: ncaa tourney credits
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 4:58 pmWell I still disagree. What is better for us is not a piddly unit for our conference here or there. Its establishing as much national attention for SMU in a NCAA major sport as possible - so winning our conference tournament is the best outcome - even if we were the only team from our conference.
We need sustained excellence at the highest level (like winning your tournament) to create and cement our position as a national basketball power.
