Just another game Tech is favored to win. If Tech plays like has been at home, there will be no surprises

From what I know the Spirit of 88 is back at the DAC permanently.

What is the story of the name? Is the "DAC" different from the "TAC"?

Yes
Thomas Assembly Center (TAC) Basketball Arena
Davidson Athletic Center (DAC) Formerly known as the South Endzone Project

I'll be interested to see if either FIU or Marshall wins that matchup handily. I wasn't expecting either team to be competitive so odds are that only one is a real player. Right now I'd probably organize my power rankings like this:

1. UAB
2. ODU
3. MTSU
4. LA Tech
5/6/7. Marshall/FIU/UTEP (no order)

How do we win by 22 and drop 18 spots. The bottom of this league simply must not suck. You don't have to be great or even good. just stop sucking.

Yes we both beat WKU, but also beat a bad FAU team. The winner Saturday seems to be a real contender for a bye in the tournament.

1.UAB
2.ODU
3.MTSU
4.La. Tech
5. UTEP
6. Marshall
7. FIU
8. Rice
9. North Texas
10. WKU
11. UTSA
12. Charlotte
13. SOuthern Miss
14. FAU

It's really hard for me to distinguish between ODU/La Tech/UAB. ODU has the best in conference win after beating Tech on their home floor but Tech had the best showing OOC. I believe UAB has the most talent top to bottom but I still worry about their ability to win on the road. UTEP/Marshall/MTSU are all good enough to compete and win against any of the top 3 but I don't think they're necessarily contenders to win the league. I wouldn't be shocked if one of them went on a run in the CUSA tournament, however. The rest of the league is mediocre to plain terrible, but I still get nervous anytime we have to go on the road and play one of these teams hudreds of miles away from home in front of 200 people.
