Should be a fun conference tournament with some exciting matchups.

RE: What seed can your team attain?
As a Miner fan I want the #6 seed. The two main reason are 1. We avoid UAB until the championship game. 2. We play the late games. It gives us an opportunity to get home after work and catch the game on Tv. If we can move up to #3 I'll take it but I want to avoid the four or five seed.

A win Saturday against MTSU (I think) guarantees a #3 and likely a #2. Win-out, MU can finish no worse than #2 (but would need the noted UAB collapse to win the conference title outright).

What a fun ride this has been - and a pleasant (pleasant) surprise after years of bouncing up and down without much post-season chatter to enjoy.

Good observations. Didn't consider it that way.

I think the conference is in a pretty decent place going forward. Just about every team has a solid young nucleus in place.

I hope we fall to #4. Would rather potentially play UAB in our second game than our third. With the depth differential we wouldn't have much of a chance in a final against them.

I see Marshall falling at Middle for no good reason then winning out. They'd really have to poop the bed to lose the 2nd seed.

Still can't get over you guys losing to Middle in the semis last year with Hunter. Kermit Davis displayed a defensive opus in Birmingham.

I could see the Miners reaching the final and losing on Thursday.

This is not a bad perspective for a team like Rice, either - our chance for an upset of the hometown #1 seed might be better on a weekday as a relatively fresh #8 seed after only one game played.

Just the same, I'd rather move up a notch in seeding and go as deep in the tourney as our endurance will take us.

RE: What seed can your team attain?
LaTech and Rice seem to be ones to look at and going long in the CUSA tourney that folks aren't really mentioning heavily(based upon Tech's injured stud returning to form). Realistically, there's about 7-8 teams that could win this thing if they get hot and get a couple breaks imho, w/ UAB being the obvious frontrunner by a mile.

RE: What seed can your team attain?
Rice isn't set up for the tournament this year. Hopefully next year will be our year. We only play seven guys so several games in several days will be very tough. We're on a four game win streak but our last three regular season games will be tough. We don't match up well against tall teams - or Louisiana Tech.

I hope LT gets the bid to the next conference tourney to host and gets saddled with a horrible tip time due to their own whining.

Wonder if their fans will make up the shortfall in attendance next week? "Cuts eyes west"

I would love for Tech to host. I hope it happens too. We tend to win home games

I assume the tournament would be in Shreveport, and not Ruston?

Does the Conference tourney have to be on a "Neutral Site" and not the home team's arena?

RE: What seed can your team attain?
And we're thankful for the donors to chilled out the money for those tickets they stepped up to the plate. The point is putting people in the stands and since very few people brought fans to the game don't blame us for putting butts in the seats next time buy tickets and show up to the damn game. All that did was screw the entire conference by not letting the host team have to primetime game I hope wherever it goes next they change it back if it goes to Nashville middle Tennessee should have the primetime game if they go to Shreveport Louisiana Tech should have the primetime game we need butts in the seats. I hope wherever it goes next they change it back if it goes to Nashville middle Tennessee should have the primetime game if it goes to Shreveport Louisiana Tech should have the primetime game we need butts in the seats Middle Tennessee in Western Kentucky brought fans Louisiana Tech a smattering as for everybody else it was just a few people
