FWIW, Jon Davis named co-POTW (along with Trey Porter of ODU) following his offensive output vs the Florida schools during the final week of the regular season.

Don’t think any Niner earned a place on those teams with the season the team has had (as you probably agree). Davis might have been close to third team, but his overall season has been a little disappointing. White might have been able to earn some recognition if he had been healthy all year. But winning 2 games in the conference and not making the conference tournament (notice no Rice, FAU, UTEP, or Southern Miss players either) means individual accomplishments are less impressive.
Hopefully, next year those guys will get back on track and we can have a little more success with new people in charge. It’s going to take time to rebuild this program though I think, given how low Price has left us.

clt says that is awful.
Is that a high school tournament? Not a good look for the conference. Need new leadership there also.
Mike Hill ! Get us out of this conference!!!
I’ve honestly not seen a more degrading venue for a men’s basketball game - let alone a conference tournament

[/quote]Bring the CUSA tournament to Charlotte! Bojangles Coliseum is better than this setup.

Are men’s and women’s games being played at the same time, or are 2 men’s and/or women’s games being played at the same time?
It appears you can walk from one game to the other without any hassle.
The good news is they can play AAU tournaments there immediately before and after the CUSA Tournament.

Men’s and women’s at same time.
We need to organize a conference wide campaign emailing the league office about how mickey mouse this is.
[quote=“ImfromClayton, post:78, topic:31290”]We need to organize a conference wide campaign emailing the league office about how mickey mouse this is.[/quote] As hardly anyone attends our conference tournament anyway, I doubt that the league office really cares. I also would be amazed if every coach there hasn’t expressed the opinion that this shit is a bad idea. The curtain is supposed to be soundproof, but its kind of hard to shield off the sound of a ref’s whistle coming from the other game.
