[Quote]Middle Tennessee’s 12 road wins are the most in college basketball this season and also a school record. Kermit Davis is a high-major HC in a mid-major league.

Finally, kudos to Kermit Davis who won his 400th game as a D-I coach when Middle Tennessee defeated LA Tech last night.

C-USA related musings from Pat Forde:
[Quote]OPEN SEATS
Other openings at present: East Carolina, which has never cared about basketball; Charlotte and UTEP, which used to care but it’s been a while.
THE CHARMLESS BUBBLE
Middle Tennessee State should get a berth if it does not win the Conference USA tournament. The Blue Raiders are 12-1 in true road games and 13-4 overall away from home. That’s a lot of time on the road, and a lot of wins there.[/quote]

I had same reaction.
Marshall isn’t a bad loss. It was a pretty good league this year.

Middle should be in if they win one in CUSAT
