We got totally screwed over by the league with the basketball game conflicting with the baseball series at Mississippi State. People either will be at MSU or watching/listening to the baseball game at home. Just really the worst case scenario for us.
The two road games are either side of the Mardi Gras holiday, and the UTSA game is the Saturday before spring break.

RE: Bonus play announcement
UAB starts at USM. Hope Blazers are ready to play vs one of the hottest teams in Men’s Basketball. Zack Bryant and Lewis Sullivan will lead UAB. USM Griffin, Holland and Edwards keep Southern Miss is playing great. Maybe we can show USM some Lovan.

RE: Bonus play announcement
C-USA 2019 Bonus Play Schedule:
The problem I have with the pairings is that # 5 UAB gets to play #1 ODU and #2 WKU at home
So you get rewarded by being #5.
If you already played a team away during the season they should play you at your place. Hence UAB should have played ODU away and ODU should have played WKU at home.
So in the great wisdom of our conference ODU plays UAB twice at UAB and WKU plays ODU twice at ODU.
And who came up with this Sunday and Wednesday crap. The whole season we have been on a Thursday/ Saturday schedule.
Group Saturday, February 23 (CT)
1 WKU at Old Dominion 12 p.m.
1 UAB at Southern Miss 2 p.m.
2 FIU at Florida Atlantic 3 p.m.
2 North Texas at Louisiana Tech 7 p.m.
3 Charlotte at Middle Tennessee 5 p.m.
3 Rice at UTEP 8 p.m.
Thursday, February 28
1 Old Dominion at UTSA TBD
1 WKU at UAB TBD
2 Florida Atlantic at North Texas TBD
2 Marshall at Louisiana Tech TBD
Sunday, March 3
1 Southern Miss at WKU TBD
1 UAB at UTSA TBD
2 Marshall at North Texas TBD
2 Louisiana Tech at FIU TBD
3 UTEP at Charlotte TBD
3 Middle Tennessee at Rice TBD
Wednesday, March 6
1 Southern Miss at Old Dominion TBD
1 UTSA at WKU TBD
2 Louisiana Tech at Florida Atlantic TBD
2 FIU at Marshall TBD
3 Rice at Charlotte TBD
3 Middle Tennessee at UTEP TBD
Saturday, March 9
1 Old Dominion at UAB TBD
1 UTSA at Southern Miss TBD
2 Florida Atlantic at Marshall TBD
2 North Texas at FIU TBD
3 Charlotte at Rice TBD
3 UTEP at Middle Tennessee TBD

I'm pretty sure they did Wed./Sun for two reasons. One, it gives teams a little more flexibility in their travel schedules - especially because most teams now have odder travel situations than in the regular season. And two, it's probably to prevent conflicts with the women's basketball schedule (and venue issues).

RE: Bonus play announcement
Those of you who are complaining about the pairings, since you're so quick to complain and criticize first, let's see how you would've done it. I say that because there just is no way to do it fairly so that everyone will be happy.
Theoretically, the #1 seed should play the 2 and 3 seeds at home, and the 4 and 5 seeds away, so that they have the toughest competition in their home gym, which btw is exactly how it's set up for ODU. But if you start with that premise and try to set it up accordingly for the others, it just doesn't work out. I've played around with it and there's just no perfect way to do this and give each team 2 home games and 2 away games.
If someone can figure it out though, by all means, let's see it.

While some of the folks are complaining about who they have to play and when, i for one am really glad we got another shot at UTSA in their gym. I can also understand why some ODU folks feel happy that we got WKU at home. Honestly WKU is the most talented team in the conference and we certainly don't want to play them in their gym but i wish we did to see how we do at their place.

There's an unwise contributor to RowdyTalk who has already posted that our fans should make the theme for that game, "Choke Artists", and that everything we reference from pre-game to in-game should be about your self destruction in that first game. He and I almost always disagree on things, and my reply to him was that it's not as though you don't already have enough motivation to avenge our miracle win the last time we faced you. Needless to say, I'm nervous about facing you guys again, regardless of where it may be. Win or lose though, I'm looking forward to seeing how this pod play idea works itself out, as well as the tournament to follow. Should be an exciting finish.

once again, none of that bs matters....
win the tourney and you're in...that's it....
I created the fantasy foosball decimal system way before the internutz took over....my qb pt. value went two places 'right' to eliminate any arguments moving forward....
hell, I had a programmer that was too stupid to recognize that value once it truly erupted....

You're right, but you're the one who brought it up with your name-calling tirade against the commissioner about how awful the pairings were. And I'm really not sure what the fantasy football decimal system has to do with any of this.

That’s funny...
Plus I felt the same way. When they dropped down into ‘our’ pod made me even more disappointed that we dropped to the poopy pod. We already had two shots at them... maybe in Frisco we can get ‘em again(6-11 opening round maybe)

RE: Bonus play announcement
Top team in each group should get the games against the next two teams at home. That team has earned it. And the schedule pattern goes from there. Keep this handy for Bonus Play in 2020.
Group 1
#1--hosts #2 and #3, at #4 and #5
#2--hosts #3 and #4, at #1 and #5
#3--hosts #4 and #5, at #1 and #2
#4--hosts #1 and #5, at #2 and #3
#5--hosts #1 and #2, at #3 and #4
Group 2 (same pattern as Group 1)
#6--hosts #7 and #8, at #9 and #10
#7--hosts #8 and #9, at #6 and #10
#8--hosts #9 and #10, at #6 and #7
#9--hosts #6 and #10, at #7 and #8
#10--hosts #6 and #7, at #8 and #9
Group 3
#11--hosts #12 and #14, at #13 and #14
#12--hosts #13 and #14, at #11 and #13
#13--hosts #11 and #12, at #12 and #14
#14--hosts #11 and #13, at #11 and #12
And for those complaining about where the games are played, this pattern is the most logical possible in the first two groups as every team hosts the two teams (or one for the fourth team) it is immediately ahead of. In Group 3, teams 11 and 14 and teams 12 and 13 play twice, 11 hosts 12, 12 hosts 14, 13 hosts 11, and 14 hosts 13.

#13--hosts #11 and #12, at #12 and #14
#14--hosts #11 and #13, at #11 and #12
That's actually what they're using right now in this year's pod play, at least in Pod 1, and what a USM poster or two have complained about. Haven't looked at Pods 2 or 3 yet.
