Invision Board is not allowing me to insert JPGs/GIFs like I used to.  It's just giving me a "This file format is not supported" banner, and embeds it as a separate attachment.

Is this just me?

I guess we now want UAB to lose and Rice to win? MTSU, too, but probably not if that means FAU losing.

The general feeling is, we want UAB and FAU on the opposite side of the bracket from us.

Just a heads up, I am not going to be surprised if the tournament shakes out in a way that is not at all like the regular season.

I don't feel like FAU is a dominant force right now.  Just strong and consistent.  The T4-5 teams in this conference are all within reach of each other.

Trap game for UAB?

Not for a loss, but for hypothermia.

EP forecast

Charlotte leading WKU
upset watch in Murfreesboro
UTSA leading Rice

FAU, unsurprisingly, has climbed back into a position to possibly steal this.

FAU goes down.

Starting to see that 1 seed as a possibility…

Do we really want it?

If UAB is the 3 I would say yes

If UAB is on the other side of the bracket, I wholeheartedly agree.

Watched some of the CBS Sports halftime broadcast for highlights and they mentioned if FAU lost a single game before the conference tourney and then did not win the tourney, they would be at risk of not making the big dance as an at-large. Well, they lost tonight to MTSU. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't make it with how high their NET would likely still be (probably right around 30 in that scenario) but that's what the CBS sports halftime crew believes. Pretty crazy how disrespected the mid-majors are these days. Go back 10 years and you'd have 10ish mid-majors make the big dance as an at-large. Seems bids were much more spreadout by conference. Don't know what happened but it's disappointing. Guess they don't want too many Cinderella stories.

What an amazing, unique, bizarre night of CUSA hoops.

Cobe WIlliams is out of Rustan...permanently
FAU loses in Murfreesboro, further cementing how freakin hard it is to win there
Haskins Center without heat
Miner-UAB game is short a ref

[greenminer]

As far as seeding, best case scenario is both UAB and FAU are opposite us, thus one is eliminated before we meet them.

Third ref said f*ck that cold, I'm out.

[greenminer]

UTSA is in strong position to steal a W in Houston

As bad as UTSA is, I think they can still lose this one 😂

[Matt from A700]

The Rice Caveman almost had a triple double tonight. 10 pts, 13 rebs, 8 assists.

[Venson]

Rice getting beat by UTSA makes that first loss we had against them look very, very bad.
