RE: Which AAC team do you think will go the farthest in the NCAA tournament?
Tough call....maybe the team that comes out on top of the AAC Tourn will enter the NCAA Tourn on a roll.
UL has tons of tourn experience, which should help in any close game...
Cinci has tough defense and one of the best guards in the game.
Memphis...athletic....if they can hit from downtown (40% or more), they can beat anyone.
SMU...would have nothing to lose...so they may play without a worry.
UCONN, has experience...great guard play...which could take them far, especially if some of the young inside guys play well and stay our of foul trouble.
Also, whatever bracket you land in....especially if there are early upsets in said bracket...that could clear a path to the Elite 8 or even Final Four.
Before NCAA's....still think it will be hard for almost any team to beat Memphis on their home court come AAC Tourn time.

x2 would add SMU also

I will take UCONN. Guard play goes a long way in the tourney and I think UCONN has the best guards in the league.

But given Pastner's tournament record, there's no way I could vote for them.

I think jus about anyone will beat anyone else if they shoot 40% from three. For a team, that is a high benchmark.

Yeah, and what were YOU laughing about? How very Louisville-y of you.

Gotta give credit where it's due. You nailed it. Guard play has turned out to be THE reason they are where they are now.
