The streak has continued and is currently at 21. Due to that streak Rice is the American Regular Season Champions and will be the top seed in Birmingham. A dominant performance against Tulsa where they put up over 100 points showcased the talent on this team and why they are the have been the best team across the league all season.  South Florida looks to finish strong as the Bulls aim for 3 or 4 seed in the conference tournament. The defending champs are looking to repeat once again and the consistency they have show down the stretch will be key. Edyn Battle has been a force all season and will be huge for South Florida down the stretch.  North Texas also conintues its goo dplay down the stretch and have found some complete performances as they look to win in March and capture their first American Tournament Title. Andi Schissler (Swishler as Kyle calls her) has made the Mean Green offense more dynamicthe last few weeks and will be huge for success in Birmingham. East Carolina has been overshadowed by Rice all season which is saying something since the Pirates have a single season school record in regular season wins (21) and conference wins (21). East Carolina will look to finish strong knowing they are locked into the 2 seed in Birmingham. Temple has stepped up the last couple weeks winning 3 of 4 games and could be a dangerous team in the tournament as Kaylah Turner and Tristen Taylro lead the way for Owls team that has depth and talent across the board. Tulsa got off to a great start in conference play and has stuggled a little down the stretch. But don't let this team get hot cause when they do they can beat anyone. It is when the go cold that that they seem to falter at times.  The rest of the field if higlights by UTSA, Charlotte, Florida Atlantic and Tulane. All teams look to have success over final 2 games to head into Birmingham on a strong note where they hope they can play spoiler.   They look at the schedule for the final day of the regular season on Saturday when seeding will be set for the Tournament.

    Two Weeks Until the Tournament and Everything is on the Table | All American (February 25, 2026)

    All American is Live! It's the final 2 weeks off the season and everything is on the line in American's Men's Basketball to decide who will be in Bimringham for the American Basketball Championship. Along with the all important seeding with the new format this year. Maria Trivelpiece and Kyle Youmans break it all down this week. The top of the standings remained the same from couple weeks ago but the middel got shuffled around. It's been an odd year in the American as the road team has a 49-43 record in conference play. So much for home court advantage.   South Florida leads the way and they jsut continue to wins games and have there best net ranking in program history. The balance and depth of South Florida is what makes this team so special and why they are at the top of the league and will be a favorite come the American Tournament.  Wichita State has been riding high recently led by star guard Kenyon Giles. As Giles goes the Shockers go and if they can get some depth scoring like they have of late to go along with Giles' the Shockers will be a tough team to face in March. They also honored Voice of the Shockers Mike Kennedy who is retiring at the end of the season after 46 years at the helm. Tulane has bounced back and found its stride as late winning 4 straight games. While Rowan Brumbaugh may have been Preseason Player of the Year, it has been the supporting cast of Asher Woods, Tyler Ringgold, Scotty Middleton, and other who have allowed the Wave to flow the last few games. UAB continues its success away from Birmingham something only one other teams has done better in program history. The Blazers have been led by Chance Westry but others like Evan Chatman make them dangerous down the stretch. They will just need to find a way to win in Birmingham given that it where the American Championship is. Tulsa depsite a small stumble has rebounded the last couple games and it all starts with the starting 5. One of the most efficient and best starting 5's in the country make Tulsa a dangerous team. Tulsa's top guys will be the key down stretch and if the Golden Hurricane get hot look out.  One team who has found some positive energy and play as of late has been North Texas. Led by an intense defense and an offense that runs through Je'Shawn Stevenson, the Mean Green if they put it together maybe could be the cinderella team in March.  There are plenty of other teams trying to finish strong for seeding and a berth  in conference tournament. Success down the stretch will be key for teams like Charlotte, Memphis, Temple, Florida Atlantic and Rice to determine what their postseason fate is.  Wichita State Guard Kenyon Giles is one of the best players in the American. He joined Maria Trivelpice in Studio A to discuss his success as of late. They also talked about the turning point for this Shcokers teams and why Grit is the definition of Wichita State Basketball this season. Along with the joy he gets out of playing in Wichita and against other American teams with all the talent the league has.  March Madness is right around the corner and with that it is time for some NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Trivia. Maria and Kyle do there best to see how much they know about one of the best sporting events there is.  They end the show with top plays of the week higlighted by the diamond this week as walk-offs and outfield cannons are showcased. Along with a sweet behind-the-back pass on the hardwood. To cap it off is a something you do not see very often especially in softball. #cbb #collegebasketball #basketball #marchmadness Watch the episode on the American Conference YouTube Channel.

    All Roads Leading to March in American Women's Basketball | All American (February 18, 2026)

    All American is live from Studio A! Maria Trivelpiece and Kyle Youmans break down the last few weeks in American Women's Basketball. It's that time of year where March is right around the corner. On3 Women's Basketball Reporter Talia Goodman joins the show to discuss her thoughts on the strength of the American from top to bottom. She also delves into why she feels Rice should be considered for the NCAA tournament regardless of whether they win the American Championship. She also discuss why she feels like East Carolina and South Florida have been so good this season. Along with who her cinderella might be that could go on a run in the American Tournament. The Rice Owls continue to ride their incredible streak now on a 17-game win streak enetering Tuesday. What makes Rice so special is how they continue to get better each game and are just a complete team on both sides of the ball. With some tough games coming up playing well at the end of the sreason will be key for the Owls at the American Championship East Carolina also quietely continues their strong play espeiclaly on the road with 6 road wins in conference play this season. Most in a single-season in program history. What has been great about the Pirates of late is the contributions from depth players like Jayla Hearp and Anzhane Hutton. It's those contributions that will be key for success late int he season and in the tournament. South Florida has seemingly found their game again and its been led by a cast of chracters which higlights the depth and talent in Tampa. However it has been the preseason player of the year in the American in Carla Brito who has really been on a roll as of late and when she is on look out South Florida is really tought to beat. If you haven't heard of Megan Nestor then you should. The rebounding machine has led the Mean Green all season with her dominant presence on the glass. While Nestor has been great gettin contributions from others each night regulary has been helping the Mean Green as of late. It's been the same story for UTSA, Defense is great for the Roadrunners offense a work in progress. If they can get both look out. One bright spot is that when Cheyenne Rowe is on the Roadrunners are. Two teams both entering Tuesday on 3-game win streaks are Charlotte and Florida Atlantic. Charlotte's tenacious defense has led them to success the last few weeks something they will need to continue against a tough remaining schedule. Florida Atlantic on the other hand is on the verge of winning it's most games in season in a while. In just year 1 under LeAnn Freland the Owls have made great strides. Erin Rodgers leads the way in Boca and she will play a massive role in the Owls game down the stretch. They finally look at the games to watch over the next few weeks which will make the picture of the conference tournament clearer with each result. Maria Trivelpiece sits down with South Florida Guard Katie Davidson to discuss her journey to Tamp and why she chose South Florida for her final season. They also discuss what has been so successful for the Bulls as of late highlighted by a transition offense and focus on the defensive side which has really helped the Bulls get in win column regularly. They also discuss Play4Kay and why it meant so much to Katie this season. With it being Play4Kay throughout the month of February and Valentine's day this past weekend, pink jerseys have been seen across the conference. Maria and Kyle blind riank there favorite jerseys and they appear to have a style that they both like when it comes to these uniforms.  Lastly, they take a look at top plays of the week across the American.
