I really like Cincinnati’s chances at a FF with the teams in their region
Houston has a better shot. Houston is hungry and they have 3-ball bombersssss. And the Shhhhhushmeister has that trashy swag thang goin' on. He ain't backin' down to nobody.

muh nate
Quote:If not, and you’re looking for a sneaky Final Four bid out of the West, look no further than sixth-seeded Houston. The Cougars pushed Cincinnati to the brink in the American Athletic championship game Sunday, showing a national audience just how stifling this team’s defense can be. Houston is a solid favorite to beat San Diego State in round one; in Wichita, they’d also be playing comparably closer to home against Michigan in round two. From there, UNC likely awaits, but our model gives the Cougars a 33 percent chance of getting that far — and, as a result, a 7 percent chance of making the Final Four.

Hmmm release Fanhood if Houston loses

(And am very disturbed for supporting that.)

Just for some quick Houston trolling. Then back to the abyss!

It's funny because I mostly watch AAC games all year and don't really know how good others are so I'm not sure if I'm being wildly optimistic when I make my brackets.
