DRC: Examining the C-USA race in men's basketball -- Can UNT run down FAU?

Recommended Posts

Answer is no an we do not want to run down FAU, because that means FAU loses more games which would knock them  and Us out of the at large conversation. We need UNT and FAU to win out and meet in the finals otherwise CUSA will be a 1 bid conference

I dont think FAU is the best team heading into this tournament, I believe UAB is the top team.  so I would rather see UNT as the 2 seed, I think that makes the bracket a lot more favorable. 

UAB is the 3rd seed right now, they will be a tough out in SF, if we get by a tough #7 seed in La Tech

Actually, no. I will get all the eye rolls and "Oh Boy!'s" but I hate how we keep calling it a three-peat. We only won one conference championship, and two regular season championships in different, non-consecutive years. We did not three-peat as conference champions or regular season champions. I think UNT has more rings and banners for regular season championships than any school out there.

okay.  so celebrating it is weird to you.  But striving to sit on top of the standings is still a good goal.

Obviously you've never been to most school's gyms.  Hell, UNC used to hang banners for regular season titles even when the ACC didn't recognize them.

I keep seeing this. Am I looking at it wrong? If UAB is the 3 seed (likely) won’t the 2 seed be lined up to play them in the semis? The 1 plays the 4?

what am I missing?

You are not wrong.  UAB could conceivably lose a couple and slide down to 4, but I think it's way more likely that they will remain at 3 and MTSU at 4.  It would be a very good thing for FAU to stumble and North Texas to win the regular season championship.  Not likely to happen--but that would be the best case scenario for these final few games.
