Cincy or Louisville?

Go Cards! I don't want to see UC until the last possible game, if we win a couple.

Funny, you guys are flipping to see who plays SMU at a neutral site, vs. perhaps Memphis on the road. The "winner" of the flip gets Memphis.

I think Memphis matches up much better against the Cards.

Louisville matches up well vs. anyone in the AAC except for one team....

Right on! Although I really don't want to play the birds again, but another beatdown coming if we do!

Cincy won the coin flip.

So who's playing who?

The No. 1 seed for the American Athletic Conference Championship is Cincinnati. Louisville will be the No. 2 seed.

Cincinnati getting the coin flip is okay with me... Since it had to come to a coin flip, I look at the point differentials between the two games. Cincinnati won by 3 in Louisville, and Louisville won by 1 in Cincinnati, so the Bearcats were 2 points better.

Wednesday:
Rutgers-USF; 7:00
Temple-UCF; 9:30


Thursday:
SMU-Houston; 1:00
Louisville-Rutgers/USF; 3:30
Cincinnati-UCF/Temple; 7:00
Memphis-UConn; 9:30


I may be wrong on the Cincinnati/Memphis times...

Memphis-UConn might be moved to 7 pm game (actually 6 pm local). Not sure if AAC putting Memphis in night session, or specifically in early night slot.

That Memphis/UCONN game is going to be fun...

I knew Cincy would win the coin flip. They have more dexterous fingers than UL.

This may have been rehashed on another thread, so apologies in advance if so. It would seem that the new conference's guidelines and not from what I was previously familiar.

From prior league(s), I would have thought that U of L would have won the tiebreaker based on sweeping SMU and the Bearcats splitting? It was always "top down" based on head-to-head.

UC/UL split ... so move down. In the three-way tie for #3, SMU grabs it by going 3-1 (UConn 2-2, Memphis 1-3). So I would have thought that the Cards would have received it. Regardless, you gotta wins the games!

Who would thought AAC basketball will become so dramatic in the country so fast.

Classy analysis, but I would have to say the majority of the conference believes that Louisville is peaking and is the team to beat, The Cards are playing on beast mode right now.

In the end, you are both Conference Champs and 1 or 2 seed does not matter. Hell in the end, #2 is probably better, because the number 1 could very well face Memphis in the semis on their home court.

You have to beat UCONN first.

Very true, and I definitely did not want to belittle what Cincy has done this year, you guys are conference champs and were a long missed shot away from taking that title undisputed.

Was just commenting on what Louisville did UConn.

I have no doubt that on any given day on a neutral court, the Cats could beat the Cards. Two great teams that will hopefully go deep in the big dance.
