Rice leads UNT by 6 points --and they have possession the ball-- with 1:31 left. I expect a "foul-o-rama" to being shortly.
Rice - 78

HUGE win by Rice over a good UNT team, in Houston, 84-75. With a win later today, this puts LA Tech in a tie for 1st place.

Excellent!!!!!!!!!! Just need to win now! We need for North Texas to lose one more too, since they beat us earlier in the year.
More good news: WKU just LOST to FIU 81-76. This knocks WKU --previously tied with Tech for 2nd in CUSA-- to 3rd place, with a LA Tech win today.
Here is the remaining schedule for North Texas. I can see them falling at least once - maybe twice down the stretch. They are in a 3 game road trip right now. We HAVE to win out, though:
at Middle Tennessee
at UAB
Charlotte
ODU
Our toughest challenge will be at WKU. If we win that one, we will be a great shape - as long as we don't lose focus and slip up against a team that we SHOULD beat. We should be able to handle Marshall and the FU twins.
Haven’t followed basketball much this year. At 17-5 with the “pod-play” about to start and theoretically give us games against the leagues top teams...what are the chances of an at-large bid?
