The Conference USA basketball season is officially a month old. For most teams, nine games have passed (Florida International and Florida Atlantic have only played seven; Rice and North Texas have only played eight) and the 14 teams in the league have started to separate themselves.

Two weekend's ago, Conference USA's parity was on display with upsets and surprises galore. Even with that in mind, the group atop the standings — Louisiana Tech, Western Kentucky, UAB, Old Dominion, UTEP and Middle Tennessee — are all within three games of one another, meaning the next month should be highly entertaining.

On Monday, Tech coach Michael White said close to half the league has a chance to win Conference USA's automatic bid when the tournament tips off in Birmingham, Alabama.

THE BOTTOM TIER

North Texas

Record: 9-11, 3-5

NCAA RPI: 269

Overview: Louisiana Tech fell victim to North Texas' hot shooing two weeks ago, so it's a possibility another top team like WKU, UAB, Middle Tennessee or UTEP could do the same against the Mean Green. Senior Jordan Williams is capable or taking over a game but UNT lacks a championship roster to consistently compete.

      A few HSO's

      I was kind of hoping this HSO thread would help me get over the hump and renew the two season tickets I’ve had since the days of dirt at Fouts Field and the old cement urinals there. Unfortunately I, probably like some others, can’t seem to generate any old fashioned enthusiasm for the new version of “ here today gone tomorrow, pass through jocks . Somehow there just seems to be a missing piece; commitment, loyalty, alma mater. Yesterday’s discarded intangibles. Well, today is deadline day, can I break an old habit?

      If…..

      I gave you a +1, but I also suspect he would not get along with the Grants and Ross's of our world. Would be loads of fun and wins, though.

      Best BBQ in each Texas college football town

      For anyone who hasn't experienced the greatness of Hutchins, you should treat yourself the next time you are in either Frisco or McKinney. Some of the best brisket I've had (and other good stuff too). And... since UNT has expanded into Frisco, I guess we can claim Hutchins as a UNT BBQ place 😎

      A few HSO's

      There’s no contradiction. The average fan/alumni aren’t paying NIL, it’s the big donors and corporations. And they’re only doing it because that’s the way it is under the current, broken system. My 2nd point is that comparing college coaches with college players is neither a fair nor equal comparison.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      No Way Jose! Just the opportunity for him to get out of Jersey is payment enough!
