UAB: 2023-24 American Men's Basketball Champions

A surprise run from the suddenly upstart Temple Owls was stopped short on the doorstep of a bid into March Madness.

After making it to the final round of the Amercian Athletic Conference Championship as an 11 seed, the Owls ran into a No. 4-seeded UAB squad that had an answer for everything they could muster, sending them home on an 85-69 defeat and without the automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament that was up for grabs.

Hysier Miller led Temple with a game-high 32 points, but was the only starter to hit double-digits in scoring for the Owls against a UAB defense they struggled to crack.

Temple shot 9-for-30 from the field for the first half and went a brutal 2-for-12 from three with the Blazers regularly forcing them into tough looks and rushed decisions. The Owls struggled to get the ball inside and had to earn just about every basket they got.

UAB, meanwhile, seemingly couldn't miss down the other way, especially from long range.

The Blazers shot 7-for-13 from beyond the arc in the first half, with the hot hand of guard Alejandro Vasquez heavily leading the charge at a perfect 5-for-5 from three. He would go on to finish with 29 points while contributing to an 11-0 run late in the first half that repeatedly punished the Owls in transition and set the tone for UAB to run away with this one.

The Blazers' Christian Coleman put home an easy layup and then an emphatic dunk on fast breaks made in quick succession.

Early into the second half, after UAB's Eric Gaines rushed down the floor to make a block on Miller's three attempt from behind, Coleman recovered the ball and launched it down to Vasquez breaking toward the basket, who then put it off the glass for Coleman catch up with and throw down to all but put the final nail in the contest.

Sunday brought a crushing end to Temple's season, but produced a late run for the Owls to both be proud of and to build off of following Adam Fisher's first, and turbulent, year as head coach of the men's program.

The Owls went a rocky 16-19 through the regular season and a woeful 5-13 in conference play.

They were blown out by UAB, 100-72, back on March 7, which after their second consecutive loss, also brought to light that gambling watchdog U.S. Integrity had been monitoring Temple's past two contests for unusual wagering activity.

The Owls came back and beat UTSA, 84-82, to close out their 2023-24 slate and secure them as the No. 11 seed in the American's postseason tournament, then rang off an improbable run that saw them topple UTSA again, SMU, Charlotte, and then Flordia Atlantic before hitting a wall in the final against UAB.

Memphis: 2024-25 American Athletic Men's Basketball Champions

FORT WORTH, Texas — Memphis basketball bulldozed UAB Sunday 84-72 to win the AAC tournament championship – its second in the last three years.

The 17th-ranked Tigers (29-5) are double conference champs for the first time since 2013, when they were members of Conference USA. They have won eight consecutive games and are headed into March Madness as the AAC’s automatic qualifier.

AAC Coach of the Year Penny Hardaway and his short-handed team battled beginning to end – in much the same way the entire season has played out. With sure-handed veteran leader Tyrese Hunter on the bench – his left foot in a walking boot due to an unspecified injury he suffered in Saturday’s win over Tulane – and backup Dante Harris also sidelined with a high ankle sprain, sophomore guard Baraka Okojie made his first start of the season.

But it was Memphis’ superstar tandem of PJ Haggerty and Dain Dainja who stood tall and delivered once more. Haggerty finished with 23 points, while Dainja had his second double-double in as many games, dropping 22 points and pulling down 12 rebounds. Dainja also had five blocks.

Moussa Cisse was key, contributing 8 points and 14 boards. Colby Rogers emerged to bucket 15 points. Haggerty, Okojie, Cisse and Rogers each came up with two steals.

Whether it was Haggerty bullying his way to the basket and knocking down one tough shot after another, or it was Dainja and his high-level footwork rattling off indefensible move after indefensible move, the AAC Player of the Year and AAC Newcomer of the Year lived up to their billings.

Especially down the stretch. During a particularly fruitful stretch that began with 12:08 left in the game, the Tigers were 10-of-17 from the field. Haggerty and Dainja combined for seven of those made field goals.

After one of Haggerty’s hits that kissed high off the glass and found the bottom of the net, he performed an impromptu shimmy from the seat of his pants as the referee’s whistle blew. Haggerty hopped up and hit a free throw to put the Tigers up 63-56 with 8:23 remaining.

Three minutes later, Dainja went heads-up against a Blazers defender, blew right by him, made the layup, then looked toward media row, nodded his head and let out a primal scream.

And there wasn’t much UAB and its own superstar Yaxel Lendeborg could do to stop it. Lendeborg was his usual productive self, registering yet another double-double. But it wasn’t enough.

The first half was a bit tighter. The Tigers led by as many as 5 points in the first half. But things suddenly became problematic for them offensively.

Memphis went scoreless, going through a stretch spanning more than five minutes where it went 0 for 11 from the field. The cold snap was not limited to this player or that. Haggerty and Dainja missed three attempts. Rogers, Nicholas Jourdain and Cisse also each came up empty.

While UAB took the lead during that stretch from 9:29 to the 4:19 mark, the Blazers made just two field goals of their own.

2022 G5 Coaching Power Rankings

As we near the end of the Power Ranking series we once again cast an eye to the best of the best in the G5. Only the top 10 coaches make the list, let’s see who’s the best out there in the mid-majors.

Here’s a link to last year’s rankings.

-

10. Blake Anderson

Record at Utah State: 11-3 Overall Record: 62-40 Division Titles: 1 (2021) Conference Titles: 1 (2021)

Movement: N/A

Blake Anderson returns to the G5 top ten in triumph after leading Utah State to their first ever Mountain West Championship. That’s how you do it. The Aggies are attempting to challenge Boise State as the lead program in the Mountain Division. Anderson so far seems up to the task.

-

9. Jeff Tedford

Record at Fresno State: 26-14 Overall Record: 108-71 Division Titles: 2 (2017, 2018) Conference Titles: 1 (2018)

Movement: N/A

It turned out to be a short retirement for Jeff Tedford, who jumped back into the hot seat after his successor Kalen DeBoer left Fresno for Washington. Tedford returns to the Bulldogs to ensure that things are running up to his high expectations.

-

8.  Chuck Martin

Record at Miami OH: 39-52 Overall Record: 113-59 Division Championships: 2 (2016, 2019) Conference Championships: 1 (2019)

Movement: Down 4 spots

This is more of a correction for placing Chuck Martin too high last year. He’s doing an admirable job at a place that’s very hard to win. The Redhawks made their third bowl in seven years under Martin.

-

7. Jeff Monken

Record at Army: 58-43 Overall Record: 96-59

Movement: Same

Jeff Monken continues to work miracles at West Point. Army won 9 games for the second consecutive year, an unthinkable feat before Monken came on the scene. The Black Knights are well positioned to keep things rolling with somebody who knows the program so well in charge.

-

6. Ken Niumatalolo

Record at Navy: 105-75 Division Championships: 3 (2015, 2016, 2019)

Movement: Down 3 spots

It hasn’t been a good few years for Ken Niumatalolo. Navy continues to struggle with losing, the Midshipmen have only bowled once in the past four years. Their consecutive losing seasons in 2020-21 are also a first under Niumatalolo. Can the man who’s led Navy so capably in the past arrest this downward trend?

-

5. Kalani Sitake

Record at BYU: 48-29 

Movement: Up 5 spots

Kalani Sitake has BYU looking good. The Cougars are playing themselves all the way into the Big 12 in a few years and lot of the credit is due to Sitake, who has done a great job maintaining the program. Brigham Young is building back into one of the West’s powerhouses just in time for a call up to the Big 12.

-

4. Troy Calhoun

Record at Air Force: 111-75 Division Championships: 2 (2015, 2021)

Movement: Up 2 spots

The most consistent winner of all the Service Academy coaches, Troy Calhoun turned in another strong campaign in Colorado Springs. Air Force tied Utah State for the Mountain Division title with a 10-3 record in 2021. The Falcons weren’t able to wrest away the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy from Army, but Air Force is well positioned to compete for some time coming.

-

3. Bill Clark

Record at UAB: 49-26 Overall Record: 60-30 Division Championships: 3 (2018, 2019, 2020) Conference Championships: 2 (2018, 2020)

Movement: Down 1 spots

Bill Clark continues to work miracles down in Birmingham. The Blazers went from a dead program to a promising call-up heading to the American Athletic Conference as C-USA implodes. It was the first year UAB didn’t win the West Division since 2017, not a bad streak. We’ll see just how much Clark can build from here.

-

2. Curt Cignetti

Record at James Madison: 33-5 Record Overall: 100-31 Conference Championships: 3 (2018, 2019, 2020)

Movement: N/A

Many of you haven’t heard of Curt Cignetti, some of you probably didn’t even know James Madison is joining the FBS next year. The Dukes are coming into the Sun Belt with a head of steam. JMU has remained one of the top programs in the FCS in Cignetti’s three years at the helm. James Madison has finished in the top 3 in the FCS rankings every year of his tenure. We’ll see just how well the Dukes will translate into one of the G5′s best leagues.

-

1. Luke Fickell

Record at Cincinnati: 48-15 Overall Record: 55-22 Division Championships: 3 (2019, 2020, 2021) Conference Championships: 2 (2019, 2020)

Movement: Up 4 spots

Well deserved. Luke Fickell has returned Cincinnati to football prominence. The Bearcats capped off an undefeated 2021 season with the first ever trip by a G5 team to the Playoff. All that and two top ten finishes in the row show us that Cincinnati is the best G5 program out there. They won’t be for long as the Bearcats are heading to the Big 12 in a few years to once again play with the big boys in an AQ conference.
