OOC Opponents and other AAC games

both teams shot well in 1st half but stunk the place up in 2nd half. If they shoot like that next week, AAC will have another early exit from post season play.

I enjoyed the Houston end of game [deleted] up more than I should've.
I'm skeptical of how these AAC teams are going to do in the tournament.

So Temple gets the only NIT invite from the AAC and they are a 5 seed meaning they have to be road warriors to make any noise in that tourney. One seeds are Notre Dame, Baylor, USC and St Mary's. Boise State and Western Kentucky both earned invites

Surprised Tulsa did not get an NIT bid. Guess the Memphis loss knocked them out but they were 4th in the AAC.

Pretty good field in the NIT and several schools that were probably "dance" worthy. Both Tulsa and Memphis may have been worthy of CBI invites but I don't think the AAC is interested in any tourney lower than the NIT. Doesn't appear that any of the multiple bid conferences participate in CBI or CIT

I just thought Tulsa would have been in above Temple

Temple had the 4th lowest RPI in the AAC and more wins against quality opponents so I assume that was the logic. They beat Auburn, Clemson and Wichita State and also beat South Carolina, Wisconsin and Old Dominion. Probably as impressive a non-conference showing as anyone in the AAC.
