By far, the top story in the American over the weekend had absolutely nothing to do with a bubble team, because Memphis isn't on the bubble and isn't very good. You know what was good? Shaq Goodwin throwing his arm through the rim, Vince Carter-dunk-contest style ... in a live basketball game! That Goodwin was assessed a technical for being awesome (and injecting some entertainment into an otherwise forgettable Tigers loss to Tulane) is a stain on AAC officiating jurisprudence that will never be wiped clean. For shame, sirs. For. Shame.
Connecticut [18-7 (8-4), RPI: 43, SOS: 52] On the one hand, Connecticut led by 13 points at the half, and 20 in the second, on its own floor, yet eventually found itself in a possession-by-possession game down the stretch against Tulsa.
