AAC Hoop Standings after Jan 23-24 games

[Knight_Light]

All times Eastern

Saturday

Noon: Georgetown vs UCONN CBS (non-conf game)

4 pm: USF (0-7) at Houston (3-3) CBS Sports

Sunday

Noon: SMU (7-0) at Temple (4-2) ESPN2 (originally scheduled for Saturday)

Noon: Tulane (1-6) at Cincinnati (4-3) ESPNU

2 pm: ECU (0-6) at Memphis (3-2) CBS Sports

3 pm: UCF (4-1) at Tulsa (4-2) ESPN3

Now that UCF won't play another game vs SMU this year (just 1 game), it would be best if SMU can give all other teams a loss, especially those that are in the Top 6 that UCF will be fighting for seeding.

If ECU or Tulane could upset and give Memphis/Cinci a loss, that would only help out UCF as well.

Came in 2nd place last year in their first season of AAC Hoops....very veteran team this year...lead by 2 Senior guards, plus 7 out of their top 9 scorers are Seniors.

Woolard is averaging 17 pts per game (19 pts per conf game) while Harrison is averaging 16 pts per game (13 pts per conf game).

One of their Forward's, Smith, is another Senior...who has started for the last 2 1/2 years brings a ton experience as well.

Tulsa has had a few nice wins this year...beat Wichita State, Oklahoma State and UCONN.

Tulsa (4-2) is just a half a game back behind UCF in the conf standings.

NOTE: Tulsa is a graveyard for some UCF teams. UCF Football (0-4) nor Men's Basketball (0-7) have ever won a game against Tulsa in their on-campus arena and stadium.

After a few road upsets this weekend (ECU won at Memphis, USF won at Houston), here are the latest standings after this weekend's game:


SMU 7-1
Tulsa 5-2
Temple 5-2
UCF 4-2
UCONN 4-2
Cinci 5-3
Memphis 3-3
Houston 3-4
ECU 1-6
Tulane 1-7
USF 1-7

UCF hosts Memphis tomorrow, Tues at 7 pm...as UCF's team doesn't get back to Orlando till sometime today...as the 1 hour and 47 min game vs Tulsa is a 3 day trip for UCF...one made longer after a 3 hour delay in Dallas on Saturday...plus not being able to get a connection for a flight home on Sunday night.

Many AAC teams have enough $$$ in their hoop budget for charters (i.e. direct flights into/out of every city) with the ability to fly home immediately after every road game....and that's something UCF desperately needs as those teams with charter flights use that all the time on the recruiting trail...as that is what major programs do.
