AAC Men's Tourney

I’ll be having nightmares about UAB tonight.

Blazers look really good.

They are really good. They are way better than their 20-11 record. They had some 'trying to figure it out' losses early in the season that are hard to comprehend. Hopefully ECU can push them a little in the 2nd half so all their guys have to at least play mid 30s minutes.

Good guys win, and top 4 seeds advance to semis.  Seems to me that that is actually kinda rare, considering the chaos that is postseason tournaments.

I think this says a lot about the gap between the top 4 or 5 teams in the American and the rest.

Not necessarily the case, and I don't think it is this week.

Tulane staying close. Memphis looks sluggish other than Dainja.

They may lose

Tulane keeps hanging around.  They may be able to steal this.

[CMJ]

If Tulane is tied at the four minute media TO, I'm gonna say they figure out a way to win.

[GMG_Dallas]

Dainja is 2/9 from the charity stripe while Cisse is 1/3. They shoot about 64% and 49% respectively on the season. Starting to wonder why you wouldn't just foul either one as soon as they get the ball down the stretch.

That last turnover for Tulane really hurts.  The Green Wave needs to get a couple of stops in a row and try and climb ahead.  Then see how the pressure ramps up on Memphis.

[CMJ]

Tough few second stretch for Tulane there.

[TheFranchise]

Not sure how that wasn’t a foul on Haggerty 

[Andrew]

The refs doing everything they can to hand the game Memphis. No way you have enough evidence to over turn the goaltending and there were multiple fouls on the floor they didn’t call. Cannot believe this is how the game has been allowed to end. It’s pitiful for the the refs, the players, and Memphis as a whole if they win this. Just pathetic for the conference to hand over the game on a golden platter to Memphis. Very frustrating to witness form an indifferent fan perspective. 

[CMJ]

Memphis 78-77 

 

Final

[RBTX]

Don't think it was goaltending but agree that was 100% a foul on Memphis refs too scared to call a foul on them. Tulane has 10 more fouls than Memphis.

The most definitive angle was the one from the top of the basket. It was touch to argue the reversal when that angle was shown.

To me, the bigger qualm I have is the foul differential. Tulane had 27 fouls to Memphis's 17.

This was a robbery.

A few things to questions overall,  but they did make the goaltending call and it was in my opinion to close to overturn. I genuinely believe they realized Tulane had the possession arrow and then went back and “looked” again and overturned it thinking it would be a wash of a play.
