Yup. Thought they might pull it off. They were answering UTEP's runs.

Interesting stat: of the 7 schools that had a winning record in CUSA play in football, they have a combined 14-30 record in basketball. MUTS is the only school to have a winning record in both to this point.

Of the 6 schools that had losing records in CUSA play in football, they have a combined 29-14 record in basketball. FIU and UAB have a losing record in both, but they're 3-4 in basketball with a chance at getting to or above .500.

Frustrating thing is that this program is easily capable of being at the top in both. Hope to see it in the near future.

You would think so, but history says otherwise.

I noticed this about the CUSA schools on Friday. It appears a lot of school struggle to sustain success in both football and men's bball. It happens, but is usually accompanied by a little bit of luck and a big athletic budget.

I agree, but our football program has turned things around. We have the resources and facilities to be good at basketball and football now. Something happened over the last two years and we are just not winning games in basketball like we used to.

They always had a well rounded program. They were always in the run for the Bubas Cup in the SBC. Expect WKU to do the same when they come on board.
