dec 16, 2017 snap #AAC hoops snapshot
Wichita St only loss is to Notre Dame and they beat Baylor.. Cincy has stumled but to good teams.Florida and Xavier. Tulane has three losses. I get the losses to UNC and Florida St, but #gerogia st ?

1/9/18: #wichitast and #cincy  are undefeated in conference play atop the AAC. #Temple is winless. How about Tulane (2-1) wins over SMU and Temple and a loss to Tulsa. Reynolds and Frazier are each averaging nearly 17 PPG.
1/14/18- Don't look now but the #aac has some exciting hoops. #tulsa nearly upset #wichitast . #cincy  took a nap early then crushed #usf. Tubby's Tigers are  slowly getting the message Memphis 75 Temple72.  UConn edged Tulane, not sure if Olie's guys got the message or Tulane's wave has ebbed.

1/29/18

Cincy, Houston, and Wichita keep winning. Right mow these three should be going to the Dance.  Maybe the AAC gets a fourth ticket but it ain't looking like UConn who lost 76-50 to Temple.
#Cincy ranks second in the country allowing only 56.6 points a game.

A. Reaves WICHST (22 PTS, 6 REB, 1 AST) beat Memphis by 20. Perhaps a 5 seed

2/12/18

@cincy crushed  SMU and have to be considered a  2 seed at the Dance. Houston crushed Tulane and UCF edged Memphis.Is Tubby headed for an exit from Memphis? It may be down to just three AAC teams getting in Cincy, Houston, and Wichita St.
2/16/18 update: #houston tried to foul the game away but a big home W over Cincy..I don't know why they were playing on Texas Southern's court. Shaquille Morris (23 PTS, 13 REB, 1 AST) led Wichita St  big second half surge for a 93-86 win over Temple. Sterling Taplin (30 PTS, 3 REB, 4 AST) led Tulsa to a won over UConn and may have them back in the Dance mix.

AAC: #olejeye (17.9ppg, 7.7rbg) leads SMU (4-0-14-3) into Cincinnati (3-0-13-2) for a tough matchup tonight. Cincy guards , #caupain and #evans ,will help the Bearcats eke outa home win and remain undefeated in CUSA play.

CUSA: #Marshall (4-0-11-6) will get a strong game from their leader #elmore (21ppg, 6.5apg) but will lose a close one tonight at @MiddleTennessee (3-0-13-3)with #potts hitting a few treys and #jacoreywilliams and #upshaw doing their usual.

MAC: #Akron (3-0 13-3) is flying high with #isaiah scoring a ton of points
#Ohio (3-0-11-3) #hamilton and #massinburg helped theBobcats escapeBuffalo, but they'll fall to Akron on Jan 17.

1/18/17

#boisest lost its second conference game. #new mexico beat them 80-71 and is climbing back into chasing #nevada who sits atop the  #mwc .

1/19/17

#IsaiahJohnson scored 21 points and #Akron remained undefeated in #MAC play and set a school-record 27-game home win streak with a 70-63 victory over Eastern Michigan last night.

random O5 hoop hunches

AAC: It's difficult to gauge Houston who wasn't upset in OOC play but were shaky in losses to Arkansas and LSU of the SEC.
CUSA-  #marshall nearly upset nearby  #cincy (AAC) last night and faces a tough #Pitt squad before they start conference play. BTW #rice only lost by ten to Pitt
MAC: Folks in tire country should feel upbeat about #Akron 's chances this season. The only ugly game was the lossto Gonzaga.Keep your eyes on #Isaiah Johnson,
MWC: If #marcusmarshall keeps sinking treys then #nevada will be worth tracking. #justinjames can score so watch out for #wyoming.
SunBelt: #UTA (Texas-Arlington) is probably still beaming about hooking the Horns a few weeks ago, and also beating North Texas (CUSA) two days later. As #hervey goes, the Mavs go.

Jan 2, 2017

AAC: Cincy pounded Tulane yesterday and Coach Dunleavy  might be wondering why he chose to try to tame the Green Wave in  Nawlins.
CUSA: #ReggieUpshaw  made four 3-pointers and finished with 34 points in a big early season conference #MTSU win over UAB .
MAC: #Akron and #cmu went 10-3 in non-conference play.
MWC: #lobos start of conference play beating #sdst
Sunbelt: #uta gave #coastalcarolina a rude welcome to conference play.  UTA 90 CC 69

Jan 6, 2017

MAC conference play started Tuesday, and Toledo cruised past Buffalo with #jonathanwilliams  scoring 20 plus for seventh straight game. I picked Miami (Ohio) to finish in MAC East basement , and they edged #niu  69-67 with #harouna hitting five treys.

AAC Hoops 2016/17 preview

1) Houston: Robinson, Gray and Dotson are a potent backcourt., and the Cougars play well all season
2) Connecticut Adams, the PG, is the key for the Huskies to rebound from another shaky November
3) Cincinnati: Will the addition of transfer Kyle Washington and the return of  Evans provide enough O?
4) SMU Jankovich is the HC and he's emphasizing the trey.
5) Temple: Owls miss Decosey, their leading scorer, last season, already.
6) Tulane: I'll role on the dice on  a big improvement with Dunleavy Sr at the helm,  and #melvinfrazier, a local NOLA star, who stayed home
7) Memphis: It will be a rough first season for Coach Tubby.
8) Tulsa- Eight seniors gone from last year's dance entry.
9) South Florida- Transfers  may help a little. #isaiahmanderson, a 6-11 transfer from texas tech may help.
10) UCF Johnny Dawkins first year will be about re-building
11) East Carolina-  Where's the D?

AAC 2016 football predictions

Who knows what the AAC will look like in 2017 so here's a look at this season. It appears  I haven't bucked the pundits much.

AMERICAN ATHLETIC
EAST
1) South Florida: Coach Taggart  may have finally turned the Bulls around and look for the Flowers  to Adams  connection to score big points.
2) Temple: Quarterback P.J. Walker and running back Jahad Thomas provide the scoring and Owls D is solid
3) Cincinnati Coach Tommy T's Bearcats were erratic last season despite having two solid QBs, Kiel and Moore, and may not have found any answer to the  teams' turnovers' problems.
4) Connecticut:Huskies O needs a huge dose of Viagra.
5) East Carolina-  New HC Scottie Montgomery, a Cutliffe disciple, will try to mobilize the Pirates.

6) UCF: New HC Scott Frost will hit some speed bumps installing the Duck attack

WEST
1) Houston: It's hard to see anyone topping Coach Herman's Cougars, but there secondary may be a huge weak spot. Greg Ward leads a potent offense.
2) Tulsa: QB Dane Evans will keep the Golden Hurrican on Houston's heels.
3) Navy will miss Keenan Reynolds
4) SMU: Head Coach Morris heads in year 2 and still seems short of  prime Mustangs.
5)Tulane- Rebuilding again - this time with Coach Willie Fritz

6)Memphis: Coach Fuente is now at VTech and Paxton  is in the NFL -could be long first season for new Head Coach Norvell

9/16/16

I know Ward had a big night for #Houston's Offense, but it was the Cougars D who did a stellar job against Cincy last night.

12/28/16

 and #Uconn ends their season by rehiring "the Edsel" , a HC  who left them immediately after the 2011 Fiesta Bowl, without flying home with the team or ever addressing his players about the departure. His last years with my Terps were terrible. Gotta be a better coach out there  

AAC baseball April 2

Early days in  conference play, but  two AAC teams in the top 25: #15 Houston's  has solid pitching  and #19 ECU's has a grEAT .311 batting average

UConn  and Tulane are tied for second .

May 4

Four teams vying  for  the regular season crown  and two of them have a tie due to a travel curfew. Here's the closest definition I could find:   in the final game of  series when a team is traveling by air a time limit  (minimum four hours) from the scheduled start time shall be established, with no new inning beginning after the time limit. 
Batting leaders: Lam (ECU) .346 . Duffin UConn 12HR, 40 RBI. Maglish (USF) and McVey (Cincy) tied with 23 SB.

joe Deroche-Duffin UCONN leads in two categories 14 HR 44 RBI
