This might be good for its own thread since I've posted it numerous times, but I know people don't go through every post. In any case, if anyone wants to start a Day 2 thread please include this information:

All times eastern
7:00p ODU vs La Tech [Stadium]
7:30p UTSA vs UAB [Stadium on Facebook]
9:30p WKU vs UNT [Stadium]
10:00p USM vs Marshall [Stadium on Facebook]

Screw it, maybe I should just start a Day 2 thread. We have so many tournament threads already though...

The way Southern Miss luck has gone against them lately, I see Marshall banking a half court shot at the buzzer to win by one...

discounting the latest against UAB, how many times did we lost on a buzzer beater to MEM and UL....it defined TTT...

I'm gonna try to stay positive with this team and rule out another TTT momento...

I hope you are right, Stink...

So everyone be sure to gather your friends, go to a sports bar, and pull out your phones to watch the game. Just be sure they have public wifi first.

I'm worried about UNT tonight. They played really well yesterday and will already be used to the court setup. Seems like they had a good crowd there, too. Even more of their fans will be there tonight I imagine. Recipe for a WKU loss, especially if we come with low-energy like we have for about half our games.

Looks like had around 1500 there last night so definitely WKU fans will be outnumbered. I would hope so they are 20 minutes down the road they would have some crowds attend....

As to the topic:

1. UTSA- I think this is a pretty even match up and UAB has the inside edge especially if Allen is out.
2. USM- This should be a good game. Doc seems to know how to coach against Danny's system, but this is a revenge game for Marshall.
3. WKU- Talent against the home team. IF WKU shows up its a blow out, if not, hmmm.
4. ODU- This is a good match up for ODU.

You just listed them in reverse order or their finish... of course the 4 has the hardest opponent and the 1 has the easiest. I think usm will have the toughest time winning because of the shooting by Marshall. It’s also the reason why I think UTSA will have a better chance to win. Shooting will help in a tournament environment.

nasty, you're older than thine....I can only watch from the sidelines now with fingers crossed....

we both know how it works...

if we feed Draine in transition early in succession, Griff will dominate how the rest of the floor operates...

the bottom line is they'll be jacking treys all night long....if they hit 30+%, we're in trouble..

this is why I never saw the bye as advantage.....

North Texas is still not healthy, and without a day or two to recover, WKU should be able to dominate tonight. Since we won for the first time in a month last night, we might have more than 1,000 fans in attendance. That could energize our players, but probably not to the point we can overcome our health issues.

Yeah, that's not how we do things.

I say UTSA

I think WKU should handle UNT just fine. Remember, WKU players like to play in hostile environments :) and UNT just isn't that good. I think WKU is the safest out of the 4 tonight.

Too soon to bump?
