The one and the same. And if memory serves me correct they lost in the first round by like 30

Agreed.
I'm going to say something crazy, but I predict the AAC to be a top 3 bball conference by mid March in terms of top to bottom quality.
Maybe but I don't see it. The bottom half (listed below) is not going to be good. I think Houston could swing good or mediocre. None of these teams below (slim chance for Tulane) will end up with a winning record.

Agree with this, at least the last 3. TCU, Tech and K St all will be weak in big 12. Overall big 12 better than AAC this year but the gap should shrink considerably over the coming months, especially considering recent results.

They were in the First Four and beat Xavier, in the round of 64 they actually had like an 18-20 point lead against St. Louis but blew it in the second half and lost in OT. NC State was actually pretty decent last year because of the kid Warren who got drafted in the first round by the Suns, they gave us a good game in Cincinnati and were playing really well at the end of the season. This year they were just "meh" to me, way too soft to play against us.

Congrats on the win. Really good win for the American as a whole!
