Middle Tennessee vs. UTEP
La Tech vs. Marshall.
Since I don't like Tim Floyd, Tech fans or Marshall Fans, I am rooting for Middle Tennessee by default to win it all.
Root for MTSU. They deserve a bid to the tourney, at large or automatic qualifier. They're having the season we should've had.
I picked UTEP, sticking with UTEP.
La Tech hasn't been to the tournament since 1991, i think is what i heard. They have a good squad with great players. They and MTSU deserve a trip

I agree La Tech deserves a trip. But their fans don't.
I want La Tech over MTSU in the final. Should get 2 CUSA teams in that each have a chance to win a game.

Anything La tech related, can eat
for all I care. Everyone's classless over there except maybe Konkol
I'm hoping Marshall over MT in final. 2 bid hopefully. Sooner Tech goes home the better.
I picked UTEP but I hope it's MTSU. Hard to stomach Marshall and La Tech fans.
I hope Middle takes it all and gets a decent seed in the tournament.
I'm pulling for MTSU. Kermit Davis is a classy coach.
My concern about college basketball has stopped for the season.
Your guys never gave up last night, and looking at the scoring it was a tale of 2 halves. We beat you because we won the first half of the game...Tech was on top of UAB 31-18. The second half, y'all won...39-38.
It was a better game than the score indicates, and I think we'll have a good time next season.
Out of the 4 I guess I'd prefer either MTSU or UTEP. Definitely not Tech or Marshall, which are probably the only two teams in the conference I really dislike. But really I don't even care.
My wife was a fan of MTSU going back to before we ever met and I convinced her to go with me to UAB. So, we'll be pulling for the Blue Raiders.
Out of curiosity, why do you guys have so much disdain for the Herd? I remember Lee Smith's comments from 2010 but other than that I don't remember any other specific incidents. Is it just the Marshall posters on the message boards and Twitter?
For me, a lot of it goes back to that intense game last year in Huntingdon and all of the whining from fans about a particular play after the game.
I also don't like D'Antonio.
Wasn't last year the first time MTSU had ever gone to the tourney?
