Question for Dawg06 or any other expert.
Should we finish tied with Middle, would be considered co-champs and therefore eligible for Nit autobid if we don't win conference tourney?
Re: 2017 Conference USA Men's Basketball Standings
I think we would be co-champs. But thats a good question on the NIT.

We would be co-champs, but the NIT auto-bid is given to the conference tournament 1 seed, which would be MTSU as a result the head-to-head tiebreaker.
Our NIT chances are basically 0.001%.

When was the last time the #1 seed won the CUSA tournament?

That answered my question. Nit considers 1 seed conference champion.

Memphis in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2012, and 2013.
Re: 2017 Conference USA Men's Basketball Standings
For Tech to earn the 1 seed and NIT auto bid, MTSU has to lose out, and Tech has to win out. MTSU's magic number to clinch the 1 seed and NIT auto bid is 1.
Tech's magic number to clinch a bye is 1.

Why do you need guards when you can have zebras?
