OT: Tournament Discussion

[Cataclysmo]

Kentucky has made me look foolish, however, they still did stink during the regular season. Amazing what a little motivation can do.

UConn is looking good early! Up 12-3 on Michigan State.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

MSU has settled down and ended the half on a 23-9 run to take a 25-21 lead at the half. Very impressive half court defense by the Spartans.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

MSU is on a 31-11 run to take control of the game.

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

11-0 UConn run. They take the lead! This has been a very good game.

11-0 UConn run. They take the lead! This has been a very good game.

After my eyes stopped bleeding in the first half. This has been some ugly basketball.

I don't buy that. People say that way too often. It is just a highly competitive game....

I would absolutely love if jermaine Lawrence modeled his game after deandre Daniels. Similar skill sets and builds

 

[BearcatNation54]

So how much money do we get for each Uconn win?

I agree. I made that comparison before the season as they were both undersized (in terms of strength) 4 men that were ranked very highly out of high school. Daniels didn't do much his freshman year but has gotten much better the last two...

Napier

Anybody still think Napier didn't deserve AAC player of the year? Anyone? Chirp chirp chirp

Mick said "heroes are made in March." Well Napier's got his second Final 4 so it looks like they made the right choice!!

Conference gets 1.6 million spread out over 6 years for each win according to Darren Rovell.

Uconn is punching a ticket out of this conference.

Kilpatrick was the better player in the regular season! So yes he did deserve the AAC player of the year. Napier is the better NBA talent and the team had good match up in the tourney!

How?

Agreed. I think this run just shows how much better Napier's supporting cast is. All three were deserving though. Great job by UConn. This is a big win for the conference.

That's for each win so we have the chance of getting 436,000 dollars if they win the championship. Do we get that amount of money for the wins Uconn and UL had in the early rounds?

 

[Bcatfollower]

How?

I shouldn't say punching their ticket, I should say building the best resume to be the first out. Large fan base, national recognition, basketball success, a d1 football team, and on the east coast.

 

[BearcatNation54]

Hopefully this gives the AAC some respect next year when it comes to seeding teams for the tourney
