Houston has outscored UConn 34-11 in the second half and it is 73-36.

Houston isn't getting any respect. They beat LSU and both losses are very close to good teams, yet they are talking about being a 3 seed. I think they are pretty motivated to dominate the AAC tourney and prove they deserve better.

I do think the committee might value them and their Net of 4 more than the bracketologists, so I think they get a 2 seed (Though I would argue they deserve a 1). They are legit and have everything you need to advance in March (Great guards, play great defense and can rebound).

Houston absolutely should be a 2 seed IMO.

3 seed.
Only 4 teams in Top 50 have worse SOS than Houston (94) and they're really all in the same territory. Wofford (107), Nevada (110), VCU (111), Utah State (158).

They're going to be a nightmare for any 2 seed in the tournament though. I wouldn't want to play them but their resume doesn't stack up as well because of the conference.

One thing I'll add: The older I get the more I realize that beating teams like UConn is important. However, beating them convincingly like they did today means something.
