Cincinnati might embarrass AAC

[deucetz]

First off,Harvard has grants in aid which are the same a scholarships for revenues. Second, they're damn good and have been for 3 years. They recruit at a borderline elite level, and most of those kids had multiple high mid to hm offers. This is barely n upset so far

1. They give you financial aid based on need. If you think all those athletes are poor than you are kidding yourself. They are paying at least a few thousand to be there.

2. I don't know why y'all are defending Harvard as if they are paying you. Harvard beating the AAC co-champ is embarrassing and makes our league look bush league. Their conference schedule is horrible. If Cincinnati is supposed to be good because they are coming from a good conference than our conference needs to win these type of games.

Btw, a lot of people had Harvard winning this game. They are not a bad team...

[Mustangs35SMU]

Yeaaaa...this would be pretty bad if they were to lose this.

[SMU 86]

Just saying Harvard is not some mickey mouse team since Amaker got there. They have gotten 4 star recruits for the last 2 years in a row. Rooting for Cincinnati but anyone that follows college hoops knows Harvard is no joke. We tried to hire Amaker during our coaching search.

Fran Fraschilla's younger son plays for Harvard. Don't know how that is relevant, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

[Mustangs35SMU]

They're gonna lose. Wows.

[Smu97186]

If today is any indication, we are in for an upset filled march

[austinponie]

Crimson's got it in the bag...


UConn up next for an appetizer to the bountiful feast at 8:00 when ASU demolishes UT.

Beers, watching horns lose and flirting Oh boy oh boy oh boy

[Terry Webster]

State of Ohio has lost two big teams today. UC has only had two offensive players all year and it came back to bite them pretty hard today.

[ojaipony]

Wow. I didn't see that one coming. Cincy peaked too early.

[PonyFan32]

Hate this for my bracket and for the AAC's reputation. And I'm not totally sold on UConn over St Joe's either. Hoping Louisville and Memphis can pick up the slack!

[CoxMustangFan]

Tough day for Ohio basketball. 74% of Buffet brackets are likely garbage already.

[deucetz]

Well I'm sure this loss helps solidify our conference's reputation as a premier conference.

I'm now rooting for Memphis and Connecticut. louisville winning doesn't help us as much as it helps the ACC.

I know Harvard is good, I just hoped our conference co-champ would be better.

[Stallion]

Harvard's RPI and BBI compares very favorably to SMU's-we are slightly better in BBI by about 3 and signifiicantly* worse in RPI by about 9

Harvard RPI: 46
Harvard BBI: 37

Surprise yes-but huge incomprehensible-not at all

*significant-as in difference between making NCAA Tourney or not

[SMU 86]

I know Harvard is good, I just hoped our conference co-champ would be better.

Gotcha, nothing wrong with that. Let's see what UConn and Memphis can do.
