AE Tourney

[Clickclack]

This was a no-win proposition for me...I guess the lesser of the two evils won. Now the maple-drinkers are going to be an even bigger collection of smug ****'s. But 5-10 for UVM (NCAA appearances) certainly does make them the flagship basketball program in the AE.

 

SBU came up small again...senior laden, tons of depth, at home and they come up lame like this. LOL...Evil Empire I guess needs a bit more seasoning. This was their best chance, they lose a number of key pieces (Joyner/Dougher...etc). Going to be tougher for them next year trying to get their first dance.

 

UA, still the only SUNY to go dancing....

 

They will be middle of the pack at best next year.

 

They still have good pieces and a nice recruiting class...top 4 wouldn't surprise me...

It may be no-win to you, but certainly nice to see SB stay on ZERO.

As far as UVm, we'll have to take care of them next season. Everyone else has come up short. So the stats are in the last 10 years we have knocked them out of the tourney 3 times, but everyone else has only done it twice. That is kind of sad.

AE Representing in Men's NCAA Tourney:

 

Vermont will be playing Lamar in one of the play-in games. If they win they will play UNC.

From my perspective, Vermont hasn't made it into the tournament yet.... along with a handful of other schools.

I do NOT like the expasnion whatsoever.

 

How many times is an AE team going to have to play a play-in.... probably alot.

Well, this is the first time, so unless you think a 27+ ranking is permanent, probably not that often. If the bottom three team could just make SOME progress, AE could get back to 18-22 fairly soon - conferences 15-27 are really close, and the rank # exaggerates the difference between them.
