Northeastern won the regular season CAA last year.

And as mentioned, it certainly is better than losing those games.

I also would say the Rice win over South Alabama is pretty solid.

Winning is always good...and NE is a decent team. SA?..ummm

UTSA was on the road. We need all the wins they can get.

Yep, need more days like this where teams at both the top and bottom of the conference win, even if they are easy games. That will help teams seeking postseason play, especially considering how many days the alternative (losing to bad opponents) is what happened.

Funny coming from a fan whose team has padded their schedule with loads of powderpuffs.

Speak for yourself. The top of CUSA is doing a decent job trying to carry the banner. The bottom teams need to step it up.

Sorry...We just did not play tonight. I thought it went without saying.

Quote:In a game of dunks and and-one buckets off reckless drives, the most mundane of basketball skills proved as important as it often does. FIU, a 67.6 percent free throw shooting team coming into the game, shot 22 of 25 (88 percent) from the line. Gulf Coast went five of 12 (41.7 percent).

After three-pointers on consecutive possessions by freshman Jason Boswell and junior Marco Porcher-Jimenez gave FIU a 44-38 lead with 13:52 left, the Panthers started standing around. Their only field goals for the next 10 minutes came off Dennis Mavin and Jerome Frink cleaning up the garbage after Rakeem Buckles got stripped inside.

But the Panthers found offense after rediscovering defense. Gulf Coast guard Brett Comer circumnavigated FIU’s defense for layups and short jumpers, scoring six consecutive points in an 11-0 Gulf Coast run that swung the game from 46-40, FIU to 51-46, Gulf Coast. Comer made one of two free throws to put Gulf Coast up 56-48 with 7:21 left.

“It was a better understanding of what our opponent was trying to do to us,” FIU coach Anthony Evans said. “They were trying to drive the ball to the basket and we weren’t coming over and helping much. We were trying to clog lanes toward the end rather than playing shooters. Once we did that, they had trouble getting into the lane. Then, when they tried to kick out, we were getting deflections.”

FIU then took its turn. After limiting Gulf Coast to one, challenged shot on each of the next two possessions, the Panthers allowed Gulf Coast a two-shot possession – only because Murphy swatted Comer’s layup attempt into the student section at cannonball speed.

The joint exploded. From there, reciprocity ruled – the Panthers fed off the crowd, which fed off the Panthers, which fed off the crowd...etc.

Tech beat Southern 69-50, the Jags almost became the first 16 seed to upset a #1 seed (Gonzaga) last season

It may not sound like it but wins over Northeastern, Southern, FGCU, and USA are pretty decent wins for the conference.

Georgia State was the preseason pick to win the Sun Belt and South Alabama was projected second for what it's worth.

Yeah, but they've been TERRIBLE so far. I think they're 2-6 now.

Beats the hell out of losing to powderpuffs.
