Looks like we're lining up to have a winnable first game but almost certainly will have seed 1 - 3 (probably 1 or 2) in the second game. So probably reasonable to hope to win 1 game. Of Memphis, UAB or UNT, I'd probably prefer Memphis in game 2. They have the most talent but coaching matters more at this point than during the regular season and they're weakest of the top 3. Hopefully finish 8 or 9. Anyway, I don't think a second win is very likely.

I have zero expectations but I always have hope. I recently watched the ESPN 30 for 30 about NC State’s run in 1984, I’m not expecting anything like that but you gotta have hope.

Expectations of for men, but could pull off some upsets.

Expectations higher for women, with championship win possible.

Clearly this isn't our best team ever but there are a couple of seniors who are going to play their last games of organized BB, would be nice for them to get a win or two, nobody likes to go out at the bottom of the bottom, and I personally would enjoy seeing the guys get some wins. I think one is realistic, two is a real stretch tho. Really haven't seen anything to suggest this team can play above itself enough to beat a better team, unfortunately, so any surprises would need to be a new gear that we haven't seen from them.

@Temple was a new gear.

The team with the best portal recruiting will win the tournament. That’s the key to the AAC. Best players win.
