We are slowly moving up in the CUSA standings. If we can win out, which IS possible and UAB and ODU stumble a little, we could move up into the top 4. That would be a huge achievement starting where we did in the first half of conference games. Rice is rolling, though. 10-0 in conference and 2-3 overall. Losses were all to ranked teams early in the season. I don't know how they are not ranked - that is a big bias on the part of the pollsters. They can be beaten, though. Many of their wins were around 10 point wins. They have some (not many) weaknesses. In our first match up, they beat us 63-53.
If we can move up to the top 4, I think it will be a very interesting tournament this year. Our remaining conference games are UTEP, UTSA, Southern Miss, Rice, and UAB. Only Rice and UAB are above us in the standings and we have beaten UAB on their court already.
Buckle up! Going to be a fun finish. I can feel it!
