CUSA

Postby ojaipony » Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:54 pm

Other than Memphis, and I'm assuming Houston, who else is any good in CUSA this year? Likely chance we could end up 2nd or 3rd best team in the conference? Possible get to 20 wins? If so, good enough to get to the tournament?

(I haven't followed bball as much, but need to find something good to cheer about given the fball side of things).

I'd be really excited if our transfers were playing this year including Blaise. If that were the case, I'd say we could pull a tournament invite.

Outside of Memphis....Marshall and UCF are very good teams.

Houston was not very good last year, but the 2 studs maligi brought to UH should help. I would think UH is middle of the road CUSA this year.

Southern Miss is 3-0 with a win in Athens over Georgia so I think they need to be included.

One of UH's stud recruits, Chicken Knowles, is not playing this year. Not sure why.

We are going to need a lot more than 20 wins to get in with our SOS.

Zero chance we are making the Tournament guys. Three wins, that is all at this point and all tight.

Yes, I will be thrilled if we make the NIT this season. Our fans need to be more realistic. Larry Brown is an excellent coach, but he is not a magician.

Maybe it's because he's... chicken?

LMU was a double digit win. Just saying. But it will be tough for us to make the NCAA or NIT tournament.

I have no idea. I was just trying to gauge what CUSA looks like this year.

I know Memphis well, having grown up there. They have talented athleticism no doubt, but they will have a mental breakdown at some point.

Most of the mags think C-USA is a one bid conference (Memphis).
