Around the AAC

[Jon Rycek]

Hope to see us start shooting a bit better heading into the conference play. Cumberland in particular. His 2 PT shot% has fallen quire a bit. Have to wonder if the league has caught up with him. I know it's popular to say, give Broome 30+ minutes a game but Jaron needs to step forward. Our offense is delivering a bunch of open shots that we are not taking advantage of to this point. It's not been bad but we can be better.

What do you mean the league has caught up with him?

They have a years tape on him. The little pump fake isn't working as well and his 2 PT percentage has dropped to 43%.

Oh I see. IMO he is just off his game right now, he is a smart enough player to adapt to whatever any team throws at him. Just gotta do it a little quicker lol

Apparently Memphis forgot to watch the tape

Jaron had a very nice game. Hope he can continue to play like that. We need his production.

I feel like Tulane should be a top 100 team

 

[juckerrules]

I feel like Tulane should be a top 100 team

Except they have only one win against a less than 100 team (Temple, 72) & only one other win against less than 200 (Colorado St. 195)

 

[Queens_NYC]

I feel like Tulane should be a top 100 team

Their next 4 games are SMU, @Memphis, UConn, and Houston.

If they win 3 of those 4 they should be top 100 by then.

 

[waterhead]

I feel like Tulane should be a top 100 team

If they can get in top 135 they will fit in as a nice column 2 road win. Hopefully UConn can stay top 135 as well. Top 100 isn't really a cut off anymore except neutral games.

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Tulsa up 42-36 at home vs UConn

Memphis up 22-18 @UCF almost at half

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Oh and South Florida is up 35-29 over ECU in what surely is the worst matchup in AAC history.

Well makes me worry even less about UCF at home lol

 

[jacobkdoyle]

22-21 at half Memphis

 

[jacobkdoyle]

UCF pulling away up 7. Good that they win and good to see Memphis at least being competitive.

Tulsa just took down UCONN in double OT. UCONN Blew the game in the first OT.

This is good because it moves Tulsa more solidly in the top 100 BUT the bad news is we only get to play Tulsa ONCE and its at home. I'd rather play the better team twice. and I don't see uconn moving into the top 100.

DUDE they better fire Ollie

This is not good because Tulsa at home is a column 3 game if ranked 100. UConn away would be a column 2 game if they are top 135. The home game has to be top 75 for column 2.

Which was my point. Its good for the conference and adding another top 100 team to the league and keeps Tulsa moving forward but its bad for US because we play them at home only.


I ******* Hate UCONN. They can't do anything right. If they keep Ollie its like the bengals keeping Marvin Lewis

 

[coachpipe]

I watched most of the game. They didnt look good. BUT. they are still without BJ Taylor. Their best player and one of the better guards in the league.

I think you could say UCONN blew the 2nd OT too. Adams missed a wide open layup (yes a little contested but he should make that) and then Larrier missed a wide open 3 for the win
