USA

@ Denver

[Mean Green Matt]

A USA win today is really our only hope at still having a realistic shot at a bye...If Denver wins, we need them to then go on the road and beat ULL, and then ULL to lose to ULM...that seems highly unlikely.

48-47 USA with 6.4 seconds left...

USA wins 48-47! This is good for us.

Amazing - even not counting how this is for us. Denver is nearly unbeatable at home and USA has been pretty down this year.

Denver actually owns the tiebreaker right now, but I'll give you the +1 anyway.

I just look at these overall records and think that if FAU doesn't win the SBC Tournament, our rep will be surely playing in a play-in game. Heck, the Owls may still be a 16 seed even if they don't have to be in the play-in game because this league sucks so bad this year. This conference sent two teams to the Big Dance in 2008, with one of the teams advancing to the Sweet 16, and the next year had a last-second bucket keep WKU from going back to the Sweet 16. How on earth did we become such a lousy basketball conference so fast?
