AAC Tourney Prediction

I actually believe the AAC Conference Tournament Champ won't be Memphis. 

I'd guess that it will us, UAB, or Wichita State.

If it's us, it'll be us beating Memphis in the final. From recent history, the semifinal game against UTSA/UAB scares me to death. But if we could win that game, I'd like our chances against Memphis a lot.

this team could win it all or lose the first game, who knows which team will show up from game to game. If offense gets going it will be good run, offense goes cold, team will be sitting at homes watching the NCAA and NIT

I think at a minimum we make the NIT no matter what happens in the AAC Tournament.

I am predicting UNT in three as far as the AAC Tournament.

I see our quarterfinal game as a W.  A matchup against UAB in the semis is a total tossup, but maybe they get upset first.  It's never good to look too far ahead in a tournament setting because chaos can and will happen.

I honestly would not be surprised if we declined an NIT invitation. Three straight years... everyone involved with UNT is tired of the NIT instead of NCAAT. I could actually see them opting for the CBI to gift the team a quick week in Florida over the AD potentially having to market three more home games.

There is a new 16-team post season tournament this year in Vegas that is trying to unseat the NIT as the next best option.

As for our AAC Tournament chances, I'd say 50/50.   We are not dominant right now when we need to be.  Our offense is stagnant and we kill ourselves trying to run the clock down then either take a bad shot or shot-clock violation.  Long streaks of no offense in many games. 

Yes, we only have 7 losses this season, but 6 of our wins are by 4 points or less.  We keep opponents close... so they think they have a chance.

I'm curious how the CBC will fare. That would be a cool location as well but when it was announced it seemed that tournament was going to rely heavily on the bad power teams.

Between the NCAAT, CBC, NIT, CBI, and CIT, there are a lot of postseason spots. We will undoubtedly have one somewhere.

I know, right? God forbid.
