Here are the Thursday basketball games on 1/10 and how to watch. All times eastern.

Programming note: I will very likely not be able to do this on Saturday, hope someone else can pick it up.

7:00 ODU at FAU [espn+]
7:00 Charlotte at FIU [cusatv]
7:30 UAB at La Tech [beIN sports]
8:00 MTSU at USM [espn+]
8:00 Rice at UTSA [espn+]
9:00 UNT at UTEP [espn+]

Playing @ UTEP always makes me a little nervous. Hopefully the guys stay focused and win these next 2 on the road.

Coach Terry said that Jordan Lathon is progressing from the hamstring pull that kept him out of games last week and should be available for UTEP this week. Lathon is our best freshmen player and will give UTEP 7 scholarship players if he can go.

IMO Efe is our best freshman and he has the stats to back it up.

This conference season feels like it is going so fast thanks to the pod scheduling. By the end of the week, the teams that started CUSA play on 12.28 will be over a third of the way done with their prepod schedule. No time for off nights.

I have to say that so far I like this scheduling format. Pretty cool to play everyone in the conference at least once. I also like the thought of quadrants based on W-L record.

To end the season our top teams are going to get more opportunities for Quadrant 1 and 2 wins which is huge.

Game day! Some interesting matchups today.
Can LA Tech get back in shape and beat a good UAB team?
Can Middle stop a Southern Miss team that is quickly trending up?
Who gets to keep their winning streak alive in Rice vs UTSA?
Can UNT avoid a let down against a struggling UTEP team?
Can ODU take care of business on the road against a hit-or-miss FAU team?
Can FIU handle a Charlotte team that has a some great games in them?
Can Marshall & WKU take advantage of this time to rest before they match up?

Quickly trending up??? We've finally started playing good competition (Kansas St, Wichita St, La Tech, UNT) and we've lost 5 of our last 6. Granted all were on the road but I wouldn't exactly call that "quickly trending up". Thanks for the kind/generous words though

Anyone want to guess Over/Under on FAU announced home crowd: 982

Actual butts in seats for the USM game will be similar even though the "tickets distributed/sold aka announced attendance" will be in the low 2K

Umm ODU, are you okay? ODU currently down 30-21 to FAU with 6 left in the first half.

UAB and LT shooting a respectable 14.3% and 18.2% for the first 6 minutes of our game. Lol

We have issues and that's an understatement. We tend to dig ourselves into holes before we try to pull ourselves out. WKU just slammed us 21-0 before we realized we are in deep doo doo last week.

We'll see. Been thete before. FAU is hitting about 80% from 3 point range.

It brings up an interesting point if ODU doesn’t come back. Is it better to have a few teams with really good NET scores or a more well rounded conference with a lot of teams in the middle of NET. I honestly don’t know which helps the conference more.

FAU scoring from everywhere on the floor in the first half. Don't think they can continue to shoot close to 70% in the second.

LA Tech up 21-10 against UAB with 6 minutes left in the 1st half.

LT leading UAB 30-22 at half. UAB shooting horribly inside
