Yeah, Denver was figuring out how to win on the road by the end of last season, but seem to have lost it.

It already appears exceedingly likely that ASU and WKU will win their respective divisions. Time to start focusing on seeding. Appears we're currently in the 7th slot - but 3-9 are really seperated by next to nothing. A win over USA(if we can eke one out) would be really big.

MTSU upsets WKU 47-46 on a big time 3 with under ten seconds to go. Guess the East might not be a foregone conclusion yet. New standings.

And now we're in 8th place for the SBC tournament. We need a win desperately against USA.

We're also one game out of 3rd and a 1st round bye.

Who the heck knows how this thing is going to shake out by the time everyone goes to Hot Springs...

Oh, trust me I know. However, considering we're likely to be competing for seeding with USA(among others), it might be key to have the only head to matchup.
