I agree that this year there is no great team outside of Florida, Syracuse and maybe a healthy Michigan St team but even these can be beat depending on the matchups. There's not a lot of difference between the rest of the bunch after that because they all got flaws. I'll rather wait and see who the tigers have to play when the brackets are announce than just dismiss them as a early exit team as some around here have foolishly done already because it really comes down to matchups with various teams that determines if a deep run is possible or not

All 5 teams will be seeded 1-5 in the AAC tourney, regardless of what happens the rest of the regular season.

Memphis will likely be 3, 4, or 5, whether we win or lose the last 4 games.

All 5 teams will likely be ranked Monday.

All 5 teams will likely make the NCAA tourney.

Now is when it gets fun. I just want to slide by Houston on Thursday, and then see what happens. From there on out, every game we play, until our season ends, will be against an NCAA tourney team, unless we get the 3 seed and play Houston in the conference tourney.

This right here ... TripleA, you are on point sir. This conference is awesome!

Love this conference, can't wait to dominate it in football.

You and me both.

He meant winning out CLINCHES at least the 3 seed.

Already clinched top 5 yes.

What a completely different world this is for us now. I love it.

So I guess UConn didn't get bailed out at the line this time?

They should finish with 6 (possibly 7) conference losses and be the 5 seed. IF Memphis can split with UL/Cincy, the Memphis vs SMU game on senior day will likely be for the AAC tourney 3 seed. We could potentially lose to both UL and Cincy, and STILL play SMU last game of season for the 3 seed (because SMU will likely lose to Cincy/UL by then as well).

Like TripleA said, these are the top 5 seeds regardless, and they are ALL in the NCAA tourney regardless at this point. Memphis needs to get the 3 seed in AAC tourney to get Houston (likely) in the 3/6 game. Then we get either Louisville/Cincy in semis, then see what happens.

I think the conference tourney winner should be a 3 seed, conference tourney runner up a 4, and the two teams that make semis a 5/6. Then the 5th team is still deserving of around a 7. In other words, we have FIVE teams that could do some damage in March, all depending on matchups. And they are ALL battle tested because they will all beat up on each other over the next 3 weeks. This is gonna be fun Tigers fans! Let's enjoy it win or lose! Much better than the days of CUSA.

Not even close. Everyone knew who was going to win CUSA in a cake walk every year. The AAC? While hard on the old ticker and nerves, still a helluva lot more fun. So happy we're not in CUSA anymore. AAC=5 NCAA tourney bids>CUSA=one tourney bid. Yep, not even close.

SMU actually IS a well-coached team with good players. Larry Brown is one great basketball coach.
