I guess our alliance with USM ended Thursday night :(

Congratulations FAU. I was busy with my wife yesterday and never got to the board.

I hope North Texas can get it together and beat FIU. These closing games are giving us fits.

Rice rooting guide for tomorrow:
Rice (Win clinches pretty pod and “spore 10” or better)
Loss clinches poopy pod and “spore 11” or lower.

Lots of possible tiebreakers but they all get us ‘above the line’ if we can pull off the road win at FAU.

USM rooting guide:

USM to beat UTEP
UAB to lose at WKU

Come on 49ers! You can do it!

I forgot to include something... streaks!

It seemed like just a couple of weeks ago that everyone was beating each other up and no teams were really coming to the front or back of the lineup. After a couple of weeks, we finally have some streaking teams.

USM W5
WKU W5
ODU W4

Marshall L4

Will any of the streaks come to an end today?

Our 8-game streak of winning, or coming within 4 points of winning ended dramatically on Thursday (-21).

Hopefully our next winning streak will have more actual wins in it than the last one (3-5)

At least the conference thought one thing through....have everyone play early today so that the pod brackets can be assembled and teams can book flights today possibly for next Friday for the Saturday games.

Rice has, as what I can only assume is a friendly gift to the other teams fighting for the second pod, decided to forget how to play basketball. Very generous of us.

Curious no-call on an obvious travel (he passed the ball to himself with no interference from an MT player, then took additional steps) by Elmore allows Marshall to tie it at halftime, 41-41.

That’s 28-12 FAU at halftime, if you’re keeping score at home...

Wow

Hahaha. Is that a thing now?

I thought the same thing, it looked like a travel and it wasn't called.

UTEP is USM in the early part of the Sadler era.

UTEP 8
USM 41
5:25 left in the first half

Yes, you read that right.

USM up over UTEP 54-12 at the half

Do y'all return many guys next year? I kniw you still dont have a full team, so y'all could be really good next year if you dont lose much.

I'm impressed with what Sadler has been able to do given the terrible situation he inherited.

Let's throw out the other 12 teams and have UTEP and Rice play first to 40 for an NCAA tournament birth.
