We could easily play Memphis (in their gym) or UConn in our first conference tournament game. I do not think that rises to the level of something major happening if we were to lose that game. Hopefully we get at least the 3 seed in which case we would be at risk of a bad loss in our first game, but I would take that risk for an easier path to the semis.

St. Joe's is a tough east coast team. Would be a good game imo.

Don't see how UConn is higher seeded than us when we've beaten them twice, but whatever.

UCONN had a solid non-conference slate, which included a win over the number one overall seed Florida. We didn't beat anyone in the non-conference slate and have two horrible losses and no recent history of success. UCONN has won 3 national championships in the last 15 seasons.

that would be a tough draw. It's never good to play a west coast team on west coast time. I find it pretty ridiculous people are still projecting us as an 8. If the rankings are to be beleieve we are aound #20, that should give us a 6 or a 7 at worst. If we win out and make it to the AAC finals we should be at least a 5

I concede. (just would wish that head to head would count for SOMETHING).

It counts for a lot when the resumes are the same. UConn just has a bit better resume at this point, clearly doesn't make them the better team.

How do these 'bracketology' projections work? Are they 'if the tourney started today' projections or do they go on a 'based on if they close out the season like we anticipate' method?

Based on today. If tourney was today. Virtually impossible SMU doesn't make the tourney though now if you're still worried. They could lose both games (Louisville & AAC Tourney Opener) and they're still going to be in.
