OK it's just another off-season realignment thread, but this is a CUSA lineup I'd like to see. Marshall, UCF and ECU go elsewhere due to conference realignments. CUSA replaces them with North Texas, Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State. NMSU gives UTEP a nearby travel partner.

Memphis

Southern Miss

Tulane

Houston

Rice

UAB

North Texas

Tulsa

SMU

UTEP

New Mexico State

La. Tech

Not a bad lineup as far as the conference goes, but the geography of your two divisions has me a little befuddled.

What would you change?

OK, How would you arrange 'um ? I just like those 12 as a conference. We've got a long history with NMSU and I prefer have them over any Sun Belt team.

I would probably switch La Tech and Tulsa with Rice and Houston. It would make more sense to have all the Texas teams in the same division to play up some rivalry.

I put Rice & Houston with the East because they are closer to USM, Tulane & UAB. Also Memphis & USM are both charter members & big rivals.

Well, I would presume the divisions would be either North/South or East/West. North/South doesn't make too much sense since the schools are more widely distributed from east to west. Thus you would have

East

UAB

Memphis

Southern Miss

Tulane

La. Tech

Tulsa

West

UNT

SMU

Rice

Houston

UTEP

NMSU

I believe Tulsa may technically be slightly west of Houston, but to put Tulsa in the west division would require splitting the two Houston schools.

North-South, East-West, upside down - sideways......... I just like the 12 schools & think this make a great conference for UNT.

      UNT Men’s Basketball: Mean Green Travel To Minnesota

      Cousin Oliver copying and pasting a basketball preview onto the football forum may be our key to success. First win over a ranked or power conference opponent in 12 tries this year.

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.
