It is down this year. It became obvious during the first weeks of the season.

But not a 1-bid league. At least 1 At Large - probably 2. ESPN's last Bracketology had 3 teams in.

You're crazy if you think this league gets 2 at large bids. I'm sticking with it being a 1 bid league. If SMU was eligible we might get 2 teams in but that's not the case.

Lunardi be crazy then. He has consistently had 3 AAC teams in Bracketology.

Latest version out today has 3 in also - UConn, Cincy and ... Memphis.

I think the AAC will get 2 in Cincinnati and UConn.. They will more than likely be 1 and 2 in the AAC tourney since SMU can't partake in it, and they will probably play each other in final!!

To some. Depends upon what the projection is though.

Boom! To the solar plexus!

Well, that oughta be significant enough to get us an at-large bid if Opie can't win the AAC tournament.

Time will tell, amigo.

I remember when we used to complain about being projected as a #2 seed in the dance. Good times.

Holy sheet. Now that you mentions it, I can barely remember what that felt like, but we did agonize about 1 vs 2 seeding.

The little things like that last baseline pass to draw a technical on the Oklahoma defender for grabbing the ball. He puts his guys in position to win. During the interview with Jay Bilas he gave a shout out to Cam Payne when Bilas asked "who is the best player you ever coached?" Pretty impressive endorsement over Isaiah Canaan. But Cam wasn't "Memphis Good"

We may be a 1 seed in the 'Merican, but as of now we are ranked 6th in the state according to realtime rpi.


UT-C at #52 or MT #53, VU - #62, UT - #85, Belmont - #95, Memphis - #125

Tell what, pray tell? Projections will never be facts. Projections may turn out to be correct - but they are never facts.

We're #2 in the state according to KenPom. If that makes you feel any better. Or worse, your choice.

My choice is to have a team at least good enough to get to the second weekend of the tournament. Right now we won't get an at large bid and if we do get it at all it will be a double digit seed in what may be the weakest field in NCAA history.

Progress in year 7? What's year 8 looking like ? I'll give you the answer to that. Our two signees consist of a 5-9 shooting guard a 6-7 180 lb JC 4 man. Shaq, Burrell and Tarrant are all gone and Dedric may be NBA bound.

You happy doe right ?

For the positive Paul's we are a whopping 73in the Kenpom, which puts us right ahead of UT at 76 which has a roster full of castoffs. This team plays HOD doe and that's all that matters I guess.

no one else eligible for the tournament looks any good, so why not dream.
