SBC is now 4-3 against CUSA in BB this year.

The SBC edged CUSA in FB, last year, and BB this year.

Seriously, we may want to reconsider changing conferences!

just a thought.

Indeed.

That's 13 in a row for USA, so they're clearly the team to beat in the tournament. They would also be the only 'Belt team that would have a chance of an at-large NCAA bid if they get knocked off in the tourney. I'd like to see them win out and win a couple of Sunbelt tournanemt games (before we beat them) to get their record to 25-8.

Please.

Rice, UH, Southern Miss, and SMU will all draw larger NT crowds than FIU, FAU, ULL, ULM. They will also create more interest statewide as well as in the national media (whether you SBC lovers realize it or not, we are still the least-respected conference) , from the casual fan, and even the NT alum that hasnt been around in a while.

And before someone posts the stupid "UH didnt draw that well 20 years ago when we played them" remember, this is a different time, we are in a different conference, and we have a different and larger student body.

Screw the belt. Build our program, get into C-USA or better and build that conference.

A snowball's chance in hell USA gets an at-large if they tank in the SBC tournament. Ain't gonna happen. A 7 loss team from a conference with an overall RPI in the 200s and no real competition - no chance. They better win the tourney, or we'll look even worse in the Big Dance.

As for CUSA, what he said.... and at least they have a legit Final Four threat in Memphis.

I dont know. They have the wins and if they finish 2nd in the tournament we MAY see 2 teams in the tournament. I agree that the only real guarantee to go to the dance is to win the conference tournament. How many teams went to the dance out of the sunbelt last year?? Never mind I'll look it up.
