As you said, it's huge either way but I'm going for wsu so that, if we get there, we don't have to play Houston again until the championship. I think if we're playing on selection Sunday, then we're in. But either scenario will benefit us.

Yep, I am always rooting for banners.,I know the league doesn’t acknowledge regular season champs but teams do. Being able to say we won a share of the league title, in a rebuilding year, is great. It is also a great thing for the program and something brannen can use in recruiting going forward. Basically saying, we are still here, to the rest of the league. That’s more exciting than a tier whatever win.

Cheering for Houston over Memphis today to thwart the Tigers' tournament chances all the more.

I don't think their game has any major implications on our AAC tourney seeding/match-ups.

Only reason I’m rooting for Tulsa is it’s a way easier run for us in the conference tournament if we are the 1 seed, WSU loses in the quarters vs Memphis than they are still probably out.

If Tulsa wins i get it hurts wichita but we would have a tough quarterfinals matchup and then a tough semis vs Houston, where as if we were the #1 we would have a tough semis but not as tough as it would be against Houston

I think if Tulsa wins they are the #1 seed as they will win the regular season conference title outright. The only chance UC has of becoming the #1 seed is in a tie with Tulsa, over whom it holds the tiebreaker.

UCF beat East Carolina by 32, so they should definitely stay in Q2.
