AAC tournament bracket

[Harry0569]

everybody is our [deleted]. We didn't run them out of the gym plus they had some poor performances from players that can light it up. No thanks to playing the Home Team. Only way I'd want to play UCONN is if they get in at #6 and are playing 4th game in 4 days

and we also had multiple starters sit for 6-12 minutes in the first half. With that said, I'd rather avoid having to play UCONN in the tourney.

agree on UConn being a better draw than UCF. UConn is mentally done for the season and wants to hit the door. UCF is fired up at their play and wants more. Give me the beaten over the revived any day.

But the UConn guy guaranteed we could not beat them again. Pretty scary.

What is Ben and Sterling's all time record vs UCONN? 8-1 including 4-1 at UCONN?

[LA_Mustang]

7-2 overall and 3-2 at UConn if you include the win in the AAC tourney. 4-0 at Moody.

And the record is tied at the XL Center. Look, no one's scared of UConn. But if you have to pick between a developing program with no significant history in UCF, and a proud-but-wounded, 4-time-national-champion program playing in front of a home crowd, it makes no sense to root for the latter scenario. Go Pirates.

I'd rather avoid UCF...I think they will beat UCONN anyway though.

I'm really hoping UConn overlooks ECU tomorrow. If UConn loses that one, then a few other games all go to the higher-rated team (Memphis over Tulane, Cincy over UConn, and SMU over Tulsa and Memphis), then I believe that will put Cincy (#2), Houston (#3), and UConn (#6) all on the other half of the bracket.

So would Memphis be the #5 seed in that scenario due to their win over Houston (serving as the tiebreak with UConn)? Not sure as Tulsa would be in that three way tie as well if they beat Tulane.

Sack races held on consecutive Sundays to determine the winner

I'm with Stallion on this one. I'd rather see UCF than UCONN in the XL. That place rocks hard for UCONN and those of us who've been there can attest. We can handle either team there but I'd prefer the quieter room.

Of course, all our bestest buds from the Boneyard might come to an SMU UCF game just because it's totally our fault they blow.

SMU 17-1
Cincinnati 15-3
Houston 12-6
UCF 11-7
Connecticut 10-8
Memphis 9-9
Tulsa 9-9
Temple 7-11
East Carolina 5-13
Tulane 2-16
South Florida 1-17

Yes, it would be Tulsa #4, Memphis #5, and UConn #6. But not because of Memphis over Houston. For a 3-team tiebreaker among these teams at 9-9, you would look first to each team's record versus the other two. Tulsa went 2-1, Memphis 2-2, and UConn 1-2 (Tulsa and UConn only played once, with Tulsa winning; all of the other records among them are 1-1).

Picking a winner in all 32 conference tournaments

American: SMU Mustangs
The Mustangs haven't broken the huddle at the under-four-minute media timeout in the second half of any game without a chance to win since November (at Boise State). Doubt their depth all you want, the Ponies are on a mission.

If UCONN [deleted]$ the bed down to a 6 seed there will be plenty of great seats available on Stubhub for the semis and finals.

[Dukie]

Final tonight: ECU 66, UConn 62.

I think you must mean 5,6,7

UCF is a pretty solid 4
