The show, The College Basketball Experience (@TCEonSGPN) of the Sports Gambling Podcast Network has come out with their American Athletic Conference College Basketball Preview for the season, 2024-25. In this episode of the AAC basketball preview show Ryan McIntyre @Moneyline_Mac and Noah Bieniek @NoahB77_ discuss all 14 teams in the AAC and focus on how they foresee the conference season going.
South Florida was the regular season winner last season with the highest defensive efficiency rating in the conference. Sadly just a week and a half prior to the beginning of the season Bulls Head Coach Amir Abdur-Rahim died. Mac and Bieniek consoled their wives while they tried to look at the list and trying to figure out what happens during the next season.
UAB claimed the Conference Tournament championship and automatically loaded into the NCAA Tournament from the AAC. Back in the roster is their super performer Yaxel Lendeborg who scored a double figure average last season. Will Andy Kennedy again get the Blazers over twenty victories and Be a part of the Big Dance again?
Memphis has been nothing but on an absolute rollercoaster this offseason. Everton fanbase, or Blue Nation that expects a lot from the team and the head coach, Penny Hardaway, will the Tigers meet the expectations? North Texas had the second best defence in the conference last season. Can the Mean Green rely on their defense, as it did last season, and battle for a championship this year? Which other programs in the American are going to be loud this season?
Mac & Bieniek conclude the show by giving out some Hot Takes on the Preview of the American Athletic Conference College Basketball season. What do you see them placing at the end of the year with all the games into account? The guys also give out their AAC Basketball sleepers and busts.
