Who wins the tourney?
Your top six picks to win the tournament? You can't pick your own team. I say six to get an idea who the dark horses are


My picks:

1. Tulsa
2. UTEP
3. MTSU
4. La Tech
5. USM
6. Charlotte

Does the hot team keep going or run out of gas?

Last 10 games
Tulsa 9-1 (loss to Tech)
Middle Tenn 9-1 (loss to Tech)
Southern Miss 8-2 (losses to UAB and MTU)
La Tech 8-2 (losses to ECU and UTEP)
UTEP 7-3 (losses to FAU, Southern Miss and Tulsa)

RE: Who wins the tourney?
For some reason I think we can beat USM if they beat UTEP. Of course we have to win our opener against UAB/UNCG to get a shot. I think we need to hit the 3's more than the other top 5 teams because we don't have a real scorer in the post.

I'll rank the top teams that I least want to play in order:

1. UTEP - really big and home court
2. USM - quick at the guard spots and bigger inside than we are and beat us 2 out 3 this season and last
3. MTSU/Tulsa - both good teams looking for payback

I think MT and Tulsa will play in the semifinal, and the winner of that game will win on Saturday, to take the championship.

why no confidence in your team?

Ultimately I don't think USM wins it, but they definitely would be in my top 3.

Because the OP said you can't pick your own team.

No dark horse when there are so many good teams at the top.

UAB has not won a conference tourney since 1987.

The thread says "you can't pick your team". That being said, I say:

1. La Tech
2. UTEP (only reason I have them 2nd and not 3rd is because of home field advantage)
3. MTSU
4. Tulsa
5. UAB
6. ODU
7. North Texas
8. Charlotte
9. Tulane
10. Marshall
11. ECU
12. Utsa
13. FAU
14. Rice

Wow, so you think UTEP doesn't even win a single game on their court?

RE: Who wins the tourney?
Actually the original thread says (I know because I wrote it) to pick the teams you think will win it all, not the order you think they finish. So you may feel one team will finish second, but not have them on your list because you don't think they will win it all.

Somebody from the 6-16 seeds.

I think there will be a Cinderella team catch lightning in a bottle.

It'll be one helluva tourney.

I think only UAB and Charlotte really have the raw talent to upset top teams in the league, but both are so inconsistent that I think there is virtually 0 chance of it happening.

That would be fun to watch, no doubt. But I think the #10-#15 seeds just don't have a realistic chance. They have to win five games in five days, and at least two (prob. three) of those games are bound to be against opponents that are more-rested and (IMHO) much more talented.

The #5-#9 seeds have to win four games in four days. Still rough sledding, but a lot easier than the bottom six. Gotta figure UTEP is in the hunt based on the home-court. Also I think the winner of UAB/Charlotte has a legit chance just based on raw talent. I don't really believe that ODU (#6) or Tulane (#7) will get past Thursday, never mind be cutting down the net on Saturday.

I'll say again that I expect Tulsa and Middle Tennessee to play in semi-final game on Friday, and I fully expect the winner of that game to win on Saturday, too. Which one?… 50/50 either way, but if I absolutely had to put $$$ on it, I'd probably of with Tulsa. They've been hot of late, and their win at the Don last week impressed me.

LOL, that's exactly how I described it, too -- I hadn't seen your comment until after mine posted.

RE: Who wins the tourney?
Despite home court, it will be VERY difficult for UTEP. We have zero depth, and in the last two weeks we look like a team with tired legs. Winning 4 games in 4 days is asking a lot. I suppose the crowd could give them a bit of a lift, but they seem to struggle more the bigger our home crowds have been.

I'm going to go out on a limb and pick Charlotte.
