Cuas Vs Sun Belt

[wardly]

the following are sagarin ratings for top 4 teams in each conference, both who received only 1 ncaa tourny bid: memphis #6, tulsa #61, houston #80, and utep # 85 vs. western k. #87, ualr# 123, n. tex. #156, and s. bama #166. this is out of 347 teams rated. between all 3 tourny's, nearly 1 in 3 teams participate post season.

I'm come to believe that not only will Memphis be unfairly discredited for playing in CUSA, but that if you play Memphis you are immediately dismissed....especially mid to late season. It has become a horrible battle for some great CUSA teams, and practically insurmountable as long as Memphis is given the right to host the tourney year in and out.

If UTEP can't finally get over the Memphis hump next year, it might never happen for the Miners. And everyone needs to start scheduling tougher OOC and winning some. If they can, get 1 or 2 in mid-conference schedule.
