Total Disrespect AGAIN for the American

[PonyKris89]

Message sent to AAC, if you lose to SMU, we won't let you in, unless You win your conference tourney.

Records vs SMU...

Tulsa 0-2
temple 0-3
uConn 1-2
Cincy 2-0
Indiana 1-0


NCAA contempt for SMU is well documented and proven.

I put a lot of this on Areasco- our supposed commisioner. He needs to man up, get some balls and do some major complaining. We won't get any respect until he starts demanding it. He must insist that we get some representation on the committee. The AAC teams got hosed again this year. I think the AD and Univ. Presidents need to tell him to get something done or move on. JMHO.

I know this will not come out right, but the disrespect against the AAC is due to .... Us! We knocked out, directly, UConn and Temple. We probably were heavily responsible for Tulsa being out. I' m glad we won'and wouldn't have it any other way but we hurt our conference mates in the process.

Surprised Memphis didn't sneak into the NIT. Pastner is in trouble

ponyte - i hope you are kidding.

Yeah. I'm sure Temple not getting in the NCAA caused a domino effect where the NIT didn't want to take four American teams.

Totally disgusted by all of this crap today.

Unless the head of Fed Ex writes a check, Pastner is safe this year.

IF boats right and Cummings are healthy enough I expect an AAC team to win the NIT.

[ReedFrawg]

We've had the last two national champions and we (SMU) are a 6 seed with 27 wins. Tulsa and Temple both out?! If anyone thinks the NCAA is not one of the hypocritical and corrupt organizations in the country is divorced from reality.

Tulsa does not have a strong enough resume. The American was way down this year.

According to him the AAC is a power conference. Would be nice if someone other than him thought that.

[Pony81]

If SMU and UC get to the Sweet 16 then the BBall world I'll sit up and take notice.

We need to beat a power team from a P5 conference for the committee to think they made a mistake. Right now the UCONN Natty is looked upon as a fluke.

You guys need to beat those frauds from UCLA by 40 in order to save face for the conference. The NCAA is the most corrupt organization in the country and I doubt my Owls would have gotten in even if we had been able to beat SMU in the semi final.

They got in because they "passed the eye test" and "were gaining steam". Their best game down the stretch was losing to Arizona by 6. Really???

You got screwed owldoggy. we know the feelin from last year. Win the NIT and show them!

Rooting for Temple....do it!

bottom line, AAC is a mid-major in the nation's eyes. Just like MWC, A10, a little above Horizon etc. We're looking at 2 bids a year, 1 sometimes.
