Temple wins against Tulane. That was a big game for standings. 

Makes Wednesday bigger too. Going to be a fun one!

Four way tie for first.

All games final.

FAU hangs in their and has a nice 2H to beat Rice.

Wednesday marks our 6th AAC game.  That will be 1/3 of the way through the conference slate regular season.

Beating Temple would be tremendous, as we are starting to see some separation in the standings between the top teams and everyone else.

I bet the UAB-UTSA game goes like ours did: Blazers will throttle them early, then hold off a Roadrunner comeback for a 15ish point win.

could be even bigger, since this is a UAB home game.

Spreads are out and UAB is -12.5

Minnesota got another Quad 1 win by beating Iowa on the road. I believe NET updates around 8am. They get Oregon at home next.

After watching several of our opponents play in conference play, we farted around too much as a league in OOC play. We are a much better league than our OOC record suggests. But, as the saying goes... You are what your record says you are.

Unfortunately, i think this is going to be the norm for awhile.  You forget the league as a whole is basically brand new every year as all the top talents is transferring out.  So it takes a few games for all the new faces to gel and become the teams that they are by conference time.

True. But the A10, MWC, and CUSA all have the same issues and are ranked above us in the NET conference rankings. If we want to be considered a competitive 2-bid league, we have to be NET ranked above the aforementioned.

We just have to get to 24 reg season wins and let the chips fall where they may. I think 24 is a good, realistic in-season goal. Then reset and see what we can accomplish in Ft. Worth.
