This will be one heck of a game! Not sure I'd want to be Tulsa with Temple coming in after that game with SMU. Pony Up, keep rolling Stangs!

This is where we pull ahead. Gave Temple another loss, while giving them the fire to give Tulsa another loss. Great week for the ponies!

For me I want the AAC to be a 3 bid league. Best way for that to happen is for cinci and temple to win out as much as they can.

Temple is a MUCH better team than Tulsa.

I am hoping we are a 4 bid league. SMU wins out in the regular season. Temple and Cincinnati win as much as possible, and maybe UCONN/Tulsa/Memphis sneak in with a conference tournament championship.

I prioritize SMU getting better seeding in the NCAA tournament way above the conference getting an additional team in. No way I would hope for someone else to win the conference tournament. That seems like a crazy thing to hope for.

Truth. I'd like the AAC to get as many teams in as possible, but that is secondary to my desire for SMU to win every single game we play.

Yes. I would love for the AAC to be a 4-bid league, but I would much rather hang a banner

Temple also has the added motivation of the home loss after Cummings got taken down on that hard foul.
Tulsa will have their hands full.

I'd love to see us win out from here and maybe get a 3 or 4 seed in the tourney. Not impossible if we can run the table. If that happens maybe we drag a fourth team along with us.

I'm not so sure that Tulsa is such a walkover by Temple on the back end of a 2 game road trip. I think Temple should be a slight and I mean about a 1-2 point favorite on the road. Could go either way. Huge game for both teams

I think Tulsa will be a slight favorite.

I hope Cincy is to us what we were to UCONN last year. Two regular season losses to a team that doesn't even make the tourney, followed by a NC.
