2015 CUSA Men's Basketball Tournament

Sports jacket.

Nailed it...

[Mean_Green09]

This happened to UCONN in 2011. Remember they limped into their conf tourney, played 4 games in 4 nights, won their conf, then won the whole thing!

Anything can happen in the NCAAs... If you have a Calhoun-type coach.

Im really only talking about mid major conferences and conferences that are likely to be a one bid league.

[MeanGreenTexan]

And UConn type talent.

Well, we had that..., or close to it at least, but the last of it just finished up his career last night.

[Army of Dad]

Im really only talking about mid major conferences and conferences that are likely to be a one bid league.

Then just do away with conference tournaments altogether and award the bid to the regular season champ. Break ties with a single game playoff.

/sarcasm

That will never happen, nor should it happen. If you are that worried about losing then you don't deserve the spot in the dance.

I'm fine with stacking the deck in the form of double byes for top seeds. That rewards the better teams for regular season excellence and still allows most teams a shot at the title.

[Ben Gooding]

The system is flawed for sure, but it does give everyone a realistic shot of even having a shot. That's more that can be said about football. We just need a better AD to hire way better head coaches.

No, we had really, really good mid major talent.

[Mean_Green09]

No, we had really, really good mid major talent.

We had talent who just didn't care last night. Whatever message was being preached to them was also not worth believing. I don't really blame the players for not believing in his system.

MTSU 59

ODU 52

There goes the at large chance.

[greenminer]

UTEP has handled MT already this season (1 game)

UAB has become the darkhorse to win it all; they are at home and have already shown no problem taking care of LaTech in Birmingham.

[greenminer]

Of note: UTEP hit 8 of 12 threes, including Omega Harris who was 5-of-5.

They had 5 players in double figures.

He may be their "X factor", so to speak. I've always felt like he was their missing piece, and if he's on then they're the best team in the conference IMO.

You're obviously more in tune with my Miners than I am.

Omega looks like he was a great get for them and, as only a frosh, will be a load for CUSA teams to deal with for a long time coming.

UAB 53

WKU 52

That was a thriller...Toppers were up four with a minute to go. Blazers hit a trey, force a 5 second call, then hit the game winner with 13 seconds left. WKU had a chance for the win, but missed.

[greenminer]

Rice is hanging around; LaTech can't pull away. 8 minutes left

[greenminer]

[CMJ]

The end got real interesting! Way to hang in there Rice! The Owls were getting crushed early.

LA Tech 70

Rice 64

So how bad is our BB team?

[MeanMag]

So how bad is our BB team?

The worst in the conference tourney.

So non-competitive that I'm not sure how the conference did not revoke our conference membership immediately following the blowout loss to Rice.

I honestly had no idea there was a game until I saw Brett Vito's spring football practice article that said basketball season is officially over.

Thank god. I can take off this suit and get into the shorts and flip-flops as the good lord above intended.

Now, somebody refresh my memory. Has UNT won a single conference tourney game since the advent of the great Tony Benford?

We beat rice last season.

10-seed North Texas 63, 15-seed Rice 62 in OT at the 2014 CUSA Tournament. Benford is now 1-3 in conference tournament games (although we did learn that if someone could manage to lose 4 tournament games in single elimination fashion in three years, it would be Benny)

[UNT90]

We beat rice last season.

And that was a short handed, gawdawful Rice team.

And we had to go to overtime to win.

And Rice fired their coach after that game...

In so sad. Our sports hurt my brain.
