If the regular season is any indication, the 2024 American women’s basketball tournament should be highly entertaining.
Three teams — Tulsa, North Texas and Temple — finished tied atop the conference standings, splitting the regular season crown. All three quads were picked to finish in the bottom half of the conference in the preseason poll.
Behind them, seven teams ended the year with a .500 conference record or better, separated by just a game in the standings. The group includes preseason favorite South Florida, as well as Danae McNeal and East Carolina, the reigning AAC champions.
The stakes are high at the conference tournament, as the American figures to be a one-big league for the NCAA Tournament. And thus, everything is on the line as postseason play begins.
