Non-Conference Complete

[Dawg06]

Well, almost. Middle Tennessee plays at Tennessee State tonight.

What have we learned now that the first half of the season is complete?

Here are a couple articles from The Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald:
- Which team will step up in C-USA league play?
- C-USA expected to be competitive even with loss of Memphis



We may have figured out how UTEP could beat a Top 25 caliber Tennessee team and then lose to a pitiful UNO team... A POINT SHAVING SCANDAL AT UTEP! The FBI is on it now.

Per that article, school just had a press conference. No indication of point shaving, but three players possibly betting on sports. This is going to be an interesting one...

It could cripple a chief competitor for the C-USA tourney title. The road to the Big Dance goes through UTEP since the tourney is played on their court.

Hopefully for his sake they are better at basketball than they were at football.
