ODU & Charlotte both add ESPN3 games. Hopefully we are working on our capability.

The men's tournament first round will be streamed on Campus Insiders and the quarterfinals and semifinals will be televised on ASN and CBS Sports Network, respectively. The championship game will also be on CBS Sports Network.

NOTE: We use the structure below to calculate home advantage.
In some cases this may not be the true game location; instead we may use a proxy location that we think makes our home advantage calculation more accurate than simply treating the location as a neutral court.

• First Round - home court of UAB.
• Quarterfinals - home court of UAB.
• Semifinals - home court of UAB.
• Championship Game - home court of UAB.

The 2017 CUSA projected standings help determine the seeds of the teams in the 2017 CUSA Championship bracket. The remainder of the season is simulated a large number of times, and the resulting seeds are used to simulate the CUSA tournament.
A team's relative odds to win the 2017 C-USA Championship depend only partly on their CUSA bracket seed. Winning the C-USA Championship also depends on the dynamics of the 2017 CUSA bracket. In some cases, the team with a better C-USA Championship seed may actually face a harder path to the C-USA Championship championship than a team with a worse CUSA tournament seed.
In addition, because CUSA tournament seeds are based on win-loss records in CUSA conference games, CUSA tournament seeds are not always the most accurate measure of a team's true performance level. This is another reason why higher seeded teams in the CUSA bracket can have better odds to win the 2017 C-USA Championship than lower seeded teams in the CUSA bracket.

A team's relative odds to win the 2017 C-USA Championship depend only partly on their CUSA bracket seed. Winning the C-USA Championship also depends on whether or not you are UAB. In some cases, the team who isnt UAB may actually face a harder path to the C-USA Championship championship than a team who is UAB.

FIFY.

ODU loses to FAU - we are in. 2nd by ourselves

[skilldawg]

UTEP came back from 17 down to give middle their first conference loss.

UTEP is back having swept Uab and middle this week... and that is where we r headed Thursday.

[Tech52]

A win this week is pretty huge in keeping us in 2nd.

A win this week is pretty huge in keeping us in 2nd.

This has turned into a tough trip. We have already lost to San Antonio and UTEP has won 6 of 7 and is unbeaten at home in conference after starting the season 2-11.
