Conference USA Tournament Thread

Wow, that UAB Charlotte game has been an amazing finish. 6 secs to go UAB up 1 74-73. Charlotte gets to take the last shot.

--UAB wins 74-73. Tough fought game though.

Apparently, CUSA is so desperate to boost ticket numbers that they want me to buy a ticket for my 8 month old. I couldn't believe it when the Tech ticket office told me (they couldn't either, tbh), but we agreed to see if they were joking. Nope.

Should have told them you were cheering for UAB

I'm sure you would have gotten 3 free tickets then

Our guys need to keep their cool tomorrow. Its probably the main variable.

Well here comes the game we've talked about for a year it seems, our inevitable matchup against UAB in the CUAB tournament. We need to go out and leave no doubt.

[Gooddawg]

They own us until proven otherwise.

I just read that teams will reseed after the quarterfinals. This wasn't the case last year. I'm guessing it's in response to WK upsetting #1 UAB in the QF last year. Does anyone know if other conferences do this? It would be more fair to reseed after the first round, but I know where C-USA stands with fair. I believe the NHL and NBA reseed after each playoff round, but not sure about college basketball. The NFL also reseeds.

La Tech fans.. We just got word about your new sponsor! (Video showing Tampax) Congrats!

It's been around for a little bit but they got extra feisty today haha. A little bit of prodding from some Tech fans after UAB won might have helped that though.

I hope you're right. Naturally, I can't remember which site I read it on and can't find it anymore. I found a USA Today article that agrees with you, so that's probably a good enough source.

Reseeding is a way of helping out the title game in the event of upsets. It's basically to make sure two good teams meet in the finals, and not have a 1 vs. 7 or 2 vs. 9 matchup, for example. It's not foolproof, obviously, but can be very effective. The NFL, NHL, and NBA have done it for years.

[champion110]

My picks for today:
MTSU
UTEP
Tech
ODU in a upset
