Overachieved? You returned everybody from a NCAA tournament team and completely bungled the non-conference schedule.

Haith better make hay next year with all those seniors.

And if UCONN beats SMU tomorrow...

I guess MWC gets 4 teams into the field with that thievery.

Maybe, maybe not. The bid that Wyoming swiped just might have been Boise's.

Dayton should be in over Ohio State. The P5 bias is sickening.

I think it's better UConn won. I have a hard time believing Tulsa would get in with a loss to a 15-14 D2 team when it was all said and done and they were being compared to other similar bubble teams and have that loss. It stood out to much.

UConn needs to win for the good of the conference tommorow. We need the flagship of basketball in the tourny more than we needed Tulsa or anyone else.

Without comparing Dayton and the Buckeyes, specifically… I do think that Dayton's win over Rhode Island today put the Flyers out of the bubble and into the "definitely or almost definitely in" category.

UConn better win tomorrow or we'll get 3 in if we're lucky.

I'm not saying Temple is 100% locked-in, but I think their chances of getting in the Dance are definitely better than half. More like 2/3.

This is where it would be nice to have Wichita and VCU as olympic sports members.....It would have helped RPI's immensely and these bubble teams would be slam dunks. We get at least 5-6 in.

Has VCU said or done anything to indicate they are looking to leave the A-10, and/or join a football-conference as the only non-football member?

You never know. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see AAC only get 2 teams in.

SMU needs to lay down tomorrow and let UConn in. We need UConn in the tourney more than we need SMU to win conf. tourn.

Did Maryland?

Beat me to it, seems they both have better deals where they are.

If UCONN wins tomorrow, it'll likely be 4.

Beat me to it, seems they have a better deal over there.

As a Temple fan, trust me, the A10 is an inferior deal.

But VCU has no football, so it's a better fit.

I admit, stranger things have happened.

But UC and SMU are locks, and like I said before I think Temple has about a 65-70% chance. So by definition the chances of AAC having 3 bids is 65-70%, before you even consider the UCONN possibility of grabbing the at-large.

Temple just didn't leave for football. Aligning with the Huskies, Bearcats, and Tigers, is a much better deal in basketball. If any of those teams were in the A10, they'd be the basketball flagship like Temple was. The profile of the two leagues lopsidedly favors the AAC.
