ECU is shaping up to be pretty strong this year. Led by a national champion PG, RJ Felton, Jaden Walker, Brandon Johnson, and Ezra Ausar.

I was just joking around, but after you said that, I looked it up.

You're right, actually.

Memphis finished #22.

We lost #1 (UH), #63 (UC) and #66 (UCF) to the Big 12.

We gained #13 (FAU), #30 (UNT) and #39 (UAB) from C-USA.

ANDDDDD...next on the radar is Charlotte at #98.

Kinda sad that #98 is next after the top 4 remaining (and 3 of those came from C-USA), and even sadder that all the remaining AAC teams + Rice and the school that won't be named, are below that. WAY below, in a lot of cases.

Does anyone know UTSA’s NET? Asking for a friend.

UTSA's NET is sitting in the link in Post #23 above.

Here's a hint. Start from the bottom.

Tulsa would have had a higher NET if not for UTSA BB.

I like our team, if Cam Hayes is eligible I really like it.

Rice is supposed to be good, but they'd be better with teriyaki...

It would help our SoS, lol.

Then it is settled. All the top teams catch COVID the day we play UTSA.

A few days ago, the conference released the basketball pairings for this upcoming season. It will be an 18-game conference schedule where each program plays every team. But will play a group of 5 teams twice and the other eight only once (4 only at home & 4 only on the road). Personally, I think FAU, Memphis & UAB came out best in this scheduling model.

UAB got with home and away games with FAU, Memphis, UNT, Tulane, & SMU. UAB only plays one game @ UTSA, so at least that game won't hurt your home attendance.

Here is a link to the release....

The conference has done this every year of its existence.

Since we have too many teams for a true round robin, the conference identifies the top 6 teams or so, and pits them home and home to help their SoS, since they are the teams most likely to contend for post-season play.

A commissioner with a brain. I'm not sure how to act.... Judy cost CUSA bids every year by not doing this. Glad to be here and away from that dumpster fire.

As a top team ECU avoids having to play Rice, UTSA, USF, Tulsa, and Memphis twice. Fellow top teams Charlotte, UNT, SMU, Temple, and Wichita; ECU looks forward to playing you and boosting each others NET so we all make the NCAA Tournament
