Bartow has always been a tough venue for USM. I think the crowd will be pumped and it will be a hard game to win. I hope our team is focused and ready.

Gotta pull for USM on this one.

It shouldn't be. UAB is not that good this year.

UAB can always be counted on to play tough against USM regardless of record. Never should an USM team take UAB as an easy win.

Unlike ECU, UAB has had a winning and proud basketball program in CUSA. They have my respect and always will. Meanwhile, in 11 years of CUSA conference play, ECU has zero, yep zero, winning seasons in conference play. Only one year have they won more than 5 conference games. In 2010-2011 ECU went 8-8. That is a rather pathetic basketball history in CUSA.

Wrong. ECU just had a winning season two years ago. 8-8 in conference play and 2-1 in the tournament. That is 10-9.

BTW, don't get all up on your high horse. You got Natty Lite boy and he did some good stuff for USM, but before then you guys were not exactly killing it; but he got tired of being paid in food stamps so he left.

Neither is Marshall, and they kicked your @sses.

And once again, an ECU fan speaks....and all heck breaks loose.

USM only a 4.5 pt favorite tonight. Thought it would be a wider margin.

And while we pay in food stamps ecu bb is so bad it was left out of the new made for tv market conference.

How is it on this board, anytime there is a thread about any two teams but ECU, it ends up being about ECU

The UAB team I watched beat UTEP is not the same team that lost to Houston or ECU or pretty much anyone else we have played this year. That's why some UAB folks have hope that we are starting to turn the corner.

Hard to win on the road....

He was supporting USM over UAB, and the USM fans get all bent out of shape. Go figure.

He said "conference play". So you are wrong and he is right.

You'd be pretty self-absorbed too if our basketball team was headed for the Atlantic Sun.

It wasn't the ECU fans that brought ECU up. It was the USM guys. They seem to be overly upset over the ECU defection.

I didn't say it was an ECU fan. Just trying to figure why ECU is mentions or fans are even involved in the thread.
