Not when you're trying to get everyone out of there. Marshall had to stay an extra night (Beckley is about 2 hours from campus).

My guess is they should have suspended the game earlier but tried to finish.

couple of years ago Middle Tennessee played in fog up there that was just as bad...

Exactly. I still like playing one weekend in Beckley, and doing it this time of year is usually just fine. But this year we had a blast of chilly weather that coincided with this weekend.

I'll reiterate to those who are unaware: the stadium in Beckley on a hilltop.

The ODU loss was the first home weekend series loss (CUSA or OOC) since the 2015 season when FAU came to Hattiesburg and took 2 of 3. Congrats ODU on the series win.

Thanks. That series win really helps our at-large chances, but there are still 15 games left, so they have to keep playing well. It would be nice to see CUSA get two at-large bids this year. I feel like we deserve them.

Heck of a boost in RPI for ODU -- all the way to 39.

CUSA is a 3-bid league at the moment. USM, ODU, Charlotte imo.

Charlotte and Tech are both tight, but I'll give the Niners the edge because they have a better record in conference, beat Tech H2H, and have a marquee OOC series W (WVU).

Conference quotas don't exist, but I don't see CUSA getting 4 in unless someone goes on a run like FIU did in 2015 or UAB in 2012.

Biloxi could be big for a couple teams.

That seems like a perfect scenario for the league. Hope we can get all 4 in. Quite a bit of ball to play though.
