...and ECU to beat Dook, and UTEP to be the fighting Eustachy's.
Anytime a Go5 member is facing off against a power conference - unless it's one of my schools... I'm all for the outsider for the win!
I'm surprised that I really don't care who wins. I'm not a fan of either team, so, who cares?
However, I do enjoy watching Marcus Smart play.
I find that most of my rooting against someone is done in football. All the other sports were just innocent bystanders for the most part in realignment. I do however root against UCF, but that is more about the Donnie Jones situation than realignment. In football though I root for Houston, UCF, and SMU to lose every week. I don't really root against Memphis because they still suck, but if they ever get better Im sure I root against them. Next year I'll add ECU, Tulane, and Tulsa to my root against list.
I was kind of hoping that we would get to play Tulane in the championship game and that way we could send all three of them out with a loss. We already got Tulsa, and we get ECU next week. Last year we got Houston and Memphis, but UCF was just too good and SMU wasn't on the schedule.
I'm just hoping for a good game...it's all about those games in March...not November.

Yes, win or lose, I'm just happy to be playing what SI called the 2nd toughest schedule in college basketball this year.
I really don't care who wins. Why not Memphis....

I live in Flower Mound, where he and Phil Forte went to school and led their high school to consecutive state championships (and three straight appearances), so I've followed the two of them for quite a while. I already liked OSU somewhat due to family ties to the school, but with Marcus and Phil there I'm really pulling for them this year...

Which one of those is SJ?
Last year I would have cared but not so much this year. I'm more interested in C-USA teams and how they are doing. Nothing against Memphis at all but conference affiliation is a big part of what peaks my interest.

Thanks and I hope you guys return to C-USA. Likely that neither of us gets our wish.

I don't know, Floyd is a better coach than Martin...and it's at a neutral site.
Instead of hoping we come back, you should hope you get in the MWC.
