Blazers have had ample opportunity but have not taken advantage.

no way you guys were supposed to lose this game if 'for real'

posers this conference is in hoops.....

it's jv at this point....

Going to lose some road games. It's basketball. WKUs only lost one home game this year.

like the rest of the country cares....

MEM, UL, Cincy, Marquette, etc.....this team isn't that

wku can't wipe my arse this year....and their fans know it...

no way you guys should lose this game as displayed by the number that have deemed it the 'second coming'

I'm just pissed b/c I dropped a dime on yaz tonight.....

the bottom line is ya better hope you win the tourney....

Have to hit shots at high percentage to beat Marshall. Blazers shot 39% tonight.

Southern Miss just about ruined my evening by spotting us 15 points to start out. Luckily enough, the real UTEP decided to show up the last 30 minutes.

Congrats, Hilltoppers. We'll see you in Birmingham.

Tough sledding on the road, no matter what the situation is. UAB, imo, is a tournament team.

as you're now down by 7.....

how's that utep homeboy coach another return enjoying his visit.....

ol' boy is finished....and I like that one from the sadist perspective....floyd is such a prickle....

let that coaching search begin....

I'm worried about the Marshall game. With our performance tonight, Marshall is definitely playing the best basketball of anyone in the league.

Tim really showed his ass in the house his father built. It was like he was trying to get t'ed up the last 5 mins.

Charlotte stepping up. Lost a couple close ones, but won 3 straight with one of them again the team playing the best basketball of anyone in the league.

BIG win for WKU.Great effort and pride.I had a rough day--went to this game and the day finished strong.

Seems like you might be looking at overall records and not really at how teams are playing RIGHT NOW.

We went 3-1 on the road and just absolutely dominated MTSU to the point where we played scrubs the last 7 minutes and still won by 16. Yes we lost to you and still managed to score 95 in your place. You played lights out, no doubt, and seem to be very good. I'm not making the call as to which is playing the better basketball but he certainly wasn't only looking at records. We've earned the right to be in the conversation for more than being 7-1.

I'm getting ready to ride you guys in the gambling world....albeit, betting hoops is a toughie, you guys are becoming dangerous...

I wouldn't bet against you guys winning the the tourney at this point....

I think this is more than fair. UAB and Marshall are my top 2 in CUSA right now. I'd lump Charlotte, MT, La Tech, ODU, and FIU into the 2nd tier where there probably isn't much separation between the schools, or between the top tier. I think any of the schools in the top 2 tiers could feasibly win the CUSA tournament this year.

Even if the conference isn't very good this year, it should at least make things exciting for conference fans in March. A lot of games will matter.

My old buddy, Tim Floyd, looks to be walking the plank at UTEP.

forgive me nasty.....for I have sinned.....I really don't like that guy as a person....he doesn't like me either....so, there you have it...

at some point, the personality defines how successful the job gets accomplished....

he's earning the cross on that chest now....and it doesn't bother me one bit....

Yeah it's wide open. UAB has a good team and will be playing in Birmingham so I think they'll still be the favorite.

No one said you weren't "in the conversation". However, the previous poster (to whom I was referring) said "Marshall is definitely playing the best basketball of anyone in the league". Not sure the "definitely" part is accurate.
