I don't follow basketball much, but I thought I'd take a look today (1/27/15) and see what was going on generally in the Conference. It occurs to me that there might be one or two other people who would like to get a glimpse of where things stand:

Conference USA Standings
TEAM .......................CONF ........OVERALL
Western Kentucky...... 7-0...........14-5
Louisiana Tech...........6-1...........15-5
UAB......................... 6-1...........10-10
Middle Tennessee.......5-2...........12-8
Old Dominion............ 4-3...........15-4
UTEP........................ 4-3...........12-7
UTSA....................... 3-4........... 9-9
Rice......................... 3-4........... 6-12
FIU.......................... 2-3........... 9-9
Charlotte.................. 2-5........... 8-11
North Texas.............. 2-5........... 8-11
FAU......................... 1-4........... 8-8
Southern Miss........... 1-6........... 6-12
Marshall................... 1-6........... 5-15

At this point, USM and Marshall would be out of the tourney (although I think USM declared themselves ineligible for post-season play.)

Our (UTEP) mbb team has been a big disappointment thus far. If the Miners are going to have any chance at a first round bye in the conference tourney, they have to win both home games this week. Both are against tough competition too.

Conversely, our (Rice) mbb team has been a bit of a surprise as far as competitiveness in conference season thus far. New Rice Head Coach Mike Rhoades is having his thin roster play a scrappy new full court pressing style, and with the exception of the last game against LA Tech, we have been shooting very well from behind the 3 pt arc and at the FT stripe. Good things lie in seasons ahead for Rice Hoops!

I believe Rice will do what USM did over the last 5 years. They're going to become one of the elite teams in C-USA temporarily.

Rice's program deserves some attention. They're going to beat some people in conference they shouldn't this year.

After the start to the season I am surprised to see MT standing at 5-2 and 12-8.

How many people had WKU at 7 and 0 to start CUSA? I certainly thought we had the experience to have a good team this season but did not expect to be 7 and 0 at this point...Still a long ways to go and I think 14 and 4 in conf. might win regular season and lock up a #1 seed in conf. tournament play...From what I have saw so far is a lot of teams that can beat anyone on any given night....Way more parity in CUSA than what WKU experienced in Sun Belt...

ahhh....north texas....good enough to give la teach their only loss...****** enough to give usm their only win...
