AAC Tourney

[ChiefTenBeers2015]

Is it a Win and In? Automatic qualify? 
 

GMG

[Ross Hodgeson]

that is my understanding.  We had same in C-USA and SBC b4 that.

[CMJ]

Other than FAU, I think it's gonna be win and in for all of us.  And even for the Owls they may need to win a game to solidify it.

South Florida going down today to Tulsa probably does guarantee they need to win the AAC tournament to get in.

So, last 10 games are taken into account to hold it against USF, but the now-hypothetical winning streak and ranking would have been a non-factor.

Unfortunate and dumb.

It's just another bad loss for a team with few good wins.  Their NET ranking isn't close to being good enough to getting in off of that.

Tell me about walk-up tickets.  Can I expect tickets at door to be about the same as advance/internet pricing?

[CMJ]

I just noticed the score, but Wichita State and Rice seem to be involved in a real barn burner at the moment.

On the UTSA-Temple broadcast, they said recent projections show FAU as a 9 seed, USF as a 12 if they get the autobid (probably not in otherwise like you said), and Memphis as a first four out. Really just depends on what happens in other conference tournaments at this point.

I'm guessing the broadcasters were going off Lunardi's predictions as that's about what he has as well. Obviously I want us to get the auto bid. Either way, it would be great for the conference to send 3 teams to the Big Dance.

Temple over UTSA by 3.

ECU/Tulsa is a back and forth affair at this point.  Tulsa just went up 25-24 at the 7 minute mark of the first half.

[CMJ]

Two evenly matched teams!

[UNTLifer]

And just like that, ECU goes on a mini-run and is up 37-30 at the 3:00 minute mark.

[CMJ]

ECU holds on in a hard fought contest.

84-79.

I see Wichita St/Memphis is delayed.  Anyone know why?

Because the ECU game only ended about ten minutes ago.

Ahh, thank you.

[Matt from A700]

Thanks to a delay due to a crooked rim after an ECU dunk - which took the refs 5 minutes of game play to spot. Hope this crew isn't working out game.

This is what you get when you only have one court.  Anyone else miss those fabulous curtains?

(sarcasm)

[CMJ]

Wichita State looking really good.

[GMG_Dallas]

Wichita State missed 3 free throws here in the final minute. WSU up in a 4 point game with 9 seconds left.

[GMG_Dallas]

And down goes Memphis. Glad WSU got the upset.
