2017-18 C-USA Hoops

[quote=“Run49er, post:20, topic:31290”]Been looking at the latest Bracketology updates of both Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm (as of January 15th) and the latter lists Middle Tennessee and WKU in his field of 68.

Of course, I realize the respective RPIs of the C-USA frontrunners are likely to suffer as the season progresses but nice to see more than just one conference rep on a list for a change![/quote]

clt bets we are “last 4 out”

Why wku is not ranked or receiving votes is beyond me. Wins against pursue and smu

CUSA will probably have 3, and maybe 4, 20-win teams this season, with 2 of them in the top 50-60 RPI. If we can stop being a damn anchor, we may not have too terrible a home in this league before long.

clt says having wku and mtsuuu good helps us in the reciting and filling up haltron

CUSA is currently 14th out of 32 conferences. Big jump from
last year which was around 22 I believe.

If I was in charge of CUSA, I would kick out the last place team for 4 consecutive years and cut the anchors free.

Last in CUSA. How terrible is that.

She’s gone. Get over it.

(1) game behind Rice (who holds a tie breaker over us) and (3) behind FAU. Got to finish ahead of one of them to make the tournament, it’s going to be tough.

Actually need to move ahead of UTEP (2-9) and Rice (2-8) at this point.

More accolades for Middle Tennessee and WKU.
