A 13-5 AAC record alone will not get us into the tournament. At the moment we have 7 potential Q1 games in league play. If we lose 5 of those, our poor record in Q1 games (let's say it's 2-8) will likely not even put us firmly on the bubble for the tournament.
We need to come with a Tennessee caliber effort and execution night in and night out in the AAC to get the wins needed for a potential at-large bid.
I think the inconsistent play that has marred our season so far will still rear its ugly head in conference play and we finish 11-7.
If we can start 4-0 and get some early road wins though, I'd be much more optimistic about our chances in a lot of those Q1 games as they come about.
