American Conference Tournament

[Queens_NYC]

It was either face a 7 seed that had lost 4 in a row due to a depleted squad or face a 7 seed that had lost 8 of 10 because they're not very good.

I'm personally glad we got Tulsa.

Not a bad draw. We should be alright to make the championship game if we just play decent.

Hate that the Championship game is Sunday at 3:15 when the bracket is released at 5:30. Essentially means that Championship game means nothing for seeding unless UC/ SMU don't make it.

Has anyone heard anything about postseason uniforms?

I agree, should be a 1:00 start

I've heard rumors of using the 92 throwbacks which would be sick.

Here's my (perfect) bracket:

Game 1: East Carolina over Temple
Game 2: Tulane over Tulsa
Game 3: Yukon over South Florida
Game 4: SMU over East Carolina
Game 5: Memphis over Central Florida
Game 6: UC over Tulane
Game 7: Houston over Yukon
Game 8: SMU over Memphis
Game 9: UC over Houston
Championship: UC over SMU

Pretty obvious that I hate Temple and Frank Haith lol.

I would think we would have to be borderline 4 seed if we win the tourney depending on what else happens in other tourneys of course. If we play SMU...the winner of that game should get a top 4 seed IMO. They could have a contingency plan in place to put either team as a 4 seed depending on who wins. Our RPI is #13 and SMU #17.

But they probably won't...lol!

Yeah if it's SMU vs UC they could easily place the winner and loser beforehand. It'd be kinda nuts if 30-4 didn't get us or SMU a 4 seed.

 

[GarradJ21]

Winner deserves a 4 seed. Loser 5. I really wish we did enough to get a 3.

I think the winner should get a 3 and the loser a 4 assuming both of us make the Championship game.

Going to be hard to jump in that 3-4 group. Lot of them play in better leagues with better wins. I hope we get the highest we can but the match up is more important. I'd like to get in the gonzaga pod if we have to play a 1

 

[GarradJ21]

Yeah, I would love that. And I think these two teams really deserve it but unfortunately it wont happen. So at very least the conference champ deserves a 4.

 

[cincrulz11]

I dont care 3 through 6 just as long as its an ok match up. I think some of the 6 seeds will be favorites over some of the 3 seeds. 1-25 is really really close this year I think.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Evans will be the Tournament MVP. Heard it here first.

I'm going with Washington as long as we don't see UCF.

I could see that. He could easily drop 20+ on the first team we play.

USA Today previews "power" conference tournaments. Their words, not mine.

Look at their Top 10 players in the conference. They have McMurray for USF in there. He played 3 games. They also only have 1 UC player. LMAO. SMH. ROFL. JFC.
