AAC Hoops! 2022-23 season

So basically they sucked bad enough to tank their metrics but will still probably be good enough to knock off some of the teams in the upper half of the league which will then tank those teams metics. That hurts.

I watched some of their game earlier against Hofstra — honestly i’m just glad tyler found a landing spot after the way penny just tossed him out. Dirty move there.

I guess but technically this is his 4th team in 4 years. Plus, he didn’t pay attention enough his first go round to see what a circus Penny was running?

SMU beats Rick Pitino’s Iona team

Zhuric Phelps and Zach Nutall led the team with 20+

Will play Utah State next

SMU at 4-7. Rough.

They beat Iona yesterday who was #43 NET.
Good win for the Ponies. Q1

They beat Utah state and will play in the championship game against Hawaii on 25th.

SMU is a mess


Mess. Not. They have a new coach. They played well. Check this kid Phelps. If he plays like he did in the Hawaii tournament, I will be surprised if he is not first team conference.

Give me Sasser, Kendric Davis and DeAndre Williams for 1st team AAC

Phelps whose averaging about 20ppg, certainly has a shot at 1st team AAC

Other options:

*Tyler Harris- 15.5ppg USF
*Khalif Battle - 18.7ppg Temple
*Damian Dunn - 14.7 ppg Temple
*David DeJulius- 16.6ppg Cincy
*Landers Nolley - 14.5ppg Cincy
*Jalen Cook - 20.2 ppg Tulane
*Jaylen Forbes - 16.8ppg Tulane
*Kevin Cross - 14.2ppg Tulane
*Javon Small - 17.2ppg East Carolina
*Taylor Hendricks - 15.3ppg UCF
*Zach Nutall - 14.2 ppg SMU

We can certainly get another player on 1st team AAC. But right now our #2 scorer is fluctuating game to game. Some games its Jarace, then Roberts, then Mark.

You’re not going be 1st team AAC averaging 10ppg. We have 3 players averaging that

smus record is too bad to be 1st team


sasser, kendric are locks
only injury will prevent them

then its up in the air–

if it was today (and how they look)

  • david dejulius is a locks (17 per on in great efficiency on a 9-4 team)- cincy schedule is kinda soft, so there are questions if he can sustain it
  • khalif battle is comfortably in "today* 19 per, and wins over vill, rutgers and vcu)
 note temples center is injured and temple looks really realy bad without him
 if they contimue to spiral he will be out

javin small for ecu is in if it was voted today, 17pt on good efficency, and ecu’s win on toledo and south carolina are some of the better wins in the league
 i dont think ecu can sustain its suscess
 they are super small, and been lucky to play small teams, even a very good toledo is small

jalen cook isnt in it right now but i expect him to be in it by seasons end (missed a ton of games to injury)

i don think deandre is in right now
 but will have a great chance by seasons end

Taylor Hendricks is in depending on how ucf does
 ucf is a nit/low tourney team theyll be in on “;some one from the good teams have to be added”

It seems that some folks are conflating “scoring leader” with “all conference.”

Well looking at last year, out of the 11 players on 1st or 2nd team, 10 of them were on a team ranked 5th or higher in conference (Houston, Memphis, SMU, Temple, Tulane)


Its winning plus putting up stats during AAC play

How many times have we had 2 Coogs finish 1st team AAC in the same season? only 2 times. Last year (Fabian & Carlton) and 2016-17 year (Dotson & Gray)

Shead is under-rated
 he is team MVP!
