Great to be this close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be close if we lose to FAU in the final, but I don't think it is impossible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, all conference leaders win their tournaments, so the AQ is an expected AQ and the conference leader does not get put into at large discussion.

I do have a question, how often does the regular season conference champ also win the conference tourney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well looking at Wikipedia. Looking since 2013-2014 (Not counting COVID AND counting Louisville's vacated titles) You have 9 samples. So 5/9 times that regular season champs won the AAC tourny as well. Taking it a step further looking at the 4 times where regular season champs didn't win both: 2 out of those 4, the regular season champs made it to the AAC tourny finals but lost. The other 2 of those 4 the regular season conference champs made it to the semi's. Sooooo... the worst a regular season conference champion has done is reach the semi's of the tournament. I like those stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
