It would be the most UAB thing ever to absolutely run a team off the floor twice and then lose to them in the conference tournament

Obviously Rice will make adjustments to how they played us in the first two games. They know what not to do.

I don’t doubt this will be the toughest game between us this year but I fully expect us to take care of business.

The Answer says this will be a competitive game, but UAB will mostly control it and win by 8-12 points.

We went from opening at -11 to -13.5 currently.

If we can advance today, I was thinking about it, and it's better to play UNT at 2pm on a Friday than face them in the finals on a Saturday night. Hoping for another blazing start to the first half so that we can work into the bench.

Rice will bring it today. They were embarrassed twice by the Blazers, played poorly down the stretch but got an emotional W last night. Blazers need to be prepared for a fight but should take care of business.

I don't expect any game to be easy for UAB this week, even against a Rice team we've dominated. Hopefully today won't be too stressful, though.

I don't give La Tech much of a chance to beat UNT obviously, but they did play in two fairly close games. UNT won by 10 at La Tech without Cobe Williams and won at home against La Tech in January with Cobe Williams playing. Would be amazing for us if they could pull off the improbable upset. La Tech just played a very close game against FAU where they led most of the game, without Cobe Williams.

Likewise, can Stansbury save his job and knock off the top team in CUSA? Very doubtful, but one can dream. FAU beat WKU on the road by 14 and beat them at home by 7, both games in January.

I'd be shocked to see either La Tech or WKU win, but they have been in competitive games with their opponents during the season - so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility. FAU has been in a bunch of close games, and pure odds would say that they have won more of those than they should have. Hopefully their luck runs out at some point. But I do hope they get an at large bid.

WKU is a scary team, capable of periods of outstanding play but also awful play within the same game. Lot depends on Sharp and whether someone besides McKnight is hot. I totally can see them taking out FAU. Also can see them losing by 20.

I felt sorry for UTEP yesterday. They play so hard for that coach and almost always seem to get a good start then can’t hold on because they can’t score consistently. Story of their season yesterday.

Still early, but it appears FAU will beat WKU by 20 or more.

FAU continues to play lights out.

Yeah if FAU beats WKU by 20 or close to it. I can see WKU telling Rick to make a resignation statement this weekend.
Unless they think WKU has a shot to win in the new CUSA.

Westin has made 2 crazy 3s to put mtsu up by one with 13.7 secs left.

Lucy tried to post up on a much bigger player, the mtsu defense collapsed, and he had his shot swatted as time expired. Mtsu moves on

Wow! MTSU won 66-65.

Charlotte went to the free throw line …………. 4 times for the entire game. That’s a statistical outlier! The Charlotte starters had 1 free throw, and missed it.
