Official C-USA Tourney Prediction Thread

[Monkeystang]

I don't think Memphis will pull it out. They are too young and will make too many mistakes. While I lie Memphis since I grew up there, I think UTEP will be the winner. They have a pretty strong team and they have a very good fan base. Then again, who really knows. Everyone has beat everyone. GO PONIES

ESPN's Pat Forde:

Conference USA. March 9-12, El Paso, Texas
Top seed: UAB.
Sagarin conference rank: Eighth out of the 31 that receive automatic bids.

Storyline: Calling this tournament wide open might be an insult to UAB, but what the heck: it's wide open. As many as seven teams will converge on El Paso thinking they have a shot -- but the Miners have home-court advantage and should know what to do with it.

Minutes pick: UTEP (19).

Last time league won an NCAA tournament game: 2009, when Memphis advanced to the Sweet 16.
