Temple creating turnovers and taking advantage of some offensive boards. Currently up 17, USF is taking some very bad shots.
Friday AAC tournament games

The commentators were discussing bubble teams and literally downplayed Tulsa, then immediately said "UCONN has a good win over Tulsa, they have to be in"
Dang, Michigan stages a comeback and hits a 3 at the buzzer to beat Indiana. Indiana had the ball tied but lost it.
Now that they have some quality wins to compare to ours, the biggest difference between the two teams is that only one lost at home to an awful team.
TU needs some other teams to fall out or not move up. Hopefully A&M can hang on and beat Florida. And, TU REALLY needs Cincy to knock UConn off of the bubble.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but for the next 2-2.5 hours I'm a big Cincy fan.
I'm not so sure. If there are any more upsets, we may need to win the tourney and Cincy is not a good matchup for us.
UConn and Temple are so close to us, if neither of them makes the finals, we're still in this thing.
With that Michigan win, they're still only 4-11 against top 100. Their RPI is now 55. No bad losses but no way that's a better resume than a bunch of other teams, including us.
Fla tied with A&M with 2 mins to go. Bubble teams fighting for their lives. I hope we do the same.

Oregon State is something like 12-12 vs top 100...not sure how Michigan is even in the conversation ahead of the Beavers at this point.
Cincinnati's D is so freaking good. I just thought they banged and hit people around...they're just exceptional at moving their feet. Every last one of them. Caupain just shut Hamilton down trying to go to the basket. Ellis picked up an early 2nd foul after Brimah threw him down.
bracketmatrix has Oregon State at an 8 seed. They're not in the bubble conversation because they're nowhere near the bubble.
What BS. ESPN announcers say they have no doubt Michigan in is the tournament. Don't know if it was Jim Calhoun or not. If UConn losses he'll say they still should be in. Some of these analysts should be politicians they say whatever they think a certain audience wants to hear. And they don't know chit.
It was Calhoun who said Michigan is definitely in. It drives me crazy he continuously refers to UConn as we on a national broadcast. I have no problem with him but its so unprofessional. It bugs me when JR Rollo does it on the Tulsa radio broadcasts too though.
Memphis AD put half the buyout on Tulsa -3
If it was a UCONN broadcast and UCONN was paying him, I'm OK with him saying "we"...same with JR on the TU broadcasts. Calhoun should not be referring to UCONN as "we" when he's doing broadcasts for ESPN.
Does the loser of this game get knocked off the bubble? And Michigan sucks...they're worse than Iowa.
Actually it was Pastner putting half his buyout money on it. He'd be set for a while winning that bet.
If UCONN loses, their bubble is burst. If Cincy loses, IMO, they're still in but they may then end up int he last 4 in.
That changed quickly. Cincinnati stuck in turnover land right now.
ESPN3 feed is about a minute behind the actual game, but the ticker ESPN has at the bottom of the ESPN3 is on time...you could make some 1v1 prop bets with a sucker in Vegas and make some $$$ with that one.

Not sure if the no calls on Caupain getting hammered or the fact that he takes 57 steps on a layup with no call is worse.
I feel like it's a win win. Cinci win helps our case for an at large but Cinci loss means no chance of seeing them again.
