Wow! That’s a shocker.

That probably does in the at large hopes for UAB.

As consistent as we are, taking care of business night in and out, any additional Blazer loss makes it so so so much harder for them to bounce back to the W1 seed.

Question.  How is the regular season champion decided now that we have divisions?

UTEP just lost to Marshall... at home.  I like our chances.

Overall best conference record.

Some nights the basketball doesn't fall. That's why I like our team built on defense - much more consistency. I still worry that we'll have an off night behind the arch or teams that force us to the line more frequently that may derail us even further.

As it has been always this season, the only game that will truly matter on the NCAA Tournament from CUSA will be the championship game in Frisco. Everything now is all about seeding and getting the best path. Avoiding La Tech and UAB for as long as possible is your best way forward, so getting the number seed should be the best way to avoid them until a final, making both of them have to play each other before we would conceivably play them.

CUSA was never gonna be a two-bid league. That's now how the tournament selection works--they get some non-power conferences, like the MWC or the A10 or the WCC, to get multiple bids, but we aren't on that list.

That's not at all true.  The freaking Sun Belt got two bids in one of our last years in it.  CUSA could definitely have gotten two.

If we win out and make it to the Championship game, We will get an at large bid with the national attention we are getting. Top defensive team in the country and winning out to the title game would give us a 18-19 game winning streak. Let's just win the tournament and dream about a 10 or 11 seed. Go Mean Green!
