Hmm. Good article. Thanks for posting. The writer doesn't give LA Tech much of a chance today. Also, I had forgotten that MTSU's lone CUSA loss this season was to UTEP. Wow! That game should be very interesting too.

IMO, this is actually a very good "Final Four" teams for CUSA.

Haha, maybe. BlazerGold09 is the author I'm pretty sure. I like La Tech to come out on top today but it could go either way. Should be two good games.

LOL nahhh. I just like Marshall at the moment having seen them in person two days in a row. I'm very happy for Tech and they are deserving to be in the semis. Bracey is so much fun to watch.

ahhhhhh total typo. Of course I know that.

I have to pull for MTSU - Getting to the final should really secure their at-large bid.

Tech/Marshall is probably a tossup. I like Tech based on Marshall having some slightly more tired legs today (and because I'm a homer).

Tech/MTSU Final - Hopefully Tech wins and both can go to the NCAA tournament.

Marshall fans, how do y'all feel about this being yalls 3rd game in 3 days in terms of conditioning? For shooting teams that could be (and I am hoping) detrimental. All things being equal I am interested to see if we can rebound and be as physical as we were against UAB. It will be fun to watch our guards (Jean, Boykins, and Bracey) match up vs Elmore and y'alls perimeter players.

Any of the three teams (obviously Middle could) win a game in the NCAA tournament with the right match-up IMO. C-USA gets a bad wrap but you can't tell me these four teams and Old Dominion and Rice aren't solid top 100ish teams.

I agree. If we somehow win the autobid it's most probable we will be in the play in game against another 16 seed. I like our chances vs a 16 seed.

Man it would be a sad day if C-USA had a team in the first four out as a 16 seed. Better than nothing for sure for UTEP fans!

On top of 3 games in 3 days, last nights game didn't start until 8:00 central. Today's game starts around 18 hours later at 2:00 central.

Guesses on seeding?

MT - 10 if they win, 12 and Dayton if not.
LT - 14
Marshall - 16
UTEP - 16 and Dayton

In order for Marshall to have a chance today is for them to slow down the game. Make La tech play under the basket and vie for every rebound instead of what they're known for fast breaks and turnovers. Slow. It. Down. Marshall.

But in all seriousness, this will be a good game.

UTEP doesn't have the offense to beat MTSU today -

I'll never almost pick against MT ever again. Most dominate C-USA team I've seen since the 08-09 Memphis team.
