Congrats to USM. I'll assume CUSA gets 2 teams into the tournament now (which they rightfully deserve).

FAU has 40 wins and is under 40 in the rpi. That’s usually a tournament lock, and FAU has other metrics working for it, too. We’re safely at two.

I'd like to hope so but the history is rarely on our side.

I have to take my hat off to FAU. They made us sweat all year and congrats on the regular season championship. I hope both of our teams make some noise in the post-season.

Make baseball into a sport it’s not?

By having the better seed be the home team for the second game (which is literally the only difference)?

Wow. Usually you get rewarded by being the better seed.

Enjoy the championship game. The best team (FAU) vs. the team that’s performed the best in Biloxi (Southern Miss). Should be a great one.

You also said “the winner's bracket team should get the advantage” which you'd meant be the home team in that first semifinal game, so that's another difference. And when you said “usually you get rewarded by being the better seed,” usually when in baseball? It has never been that way. You get to be the home team the first day. You're referencing to what happens in other sports. That's why I said you're trying to make it into a sport it's not.

It should be a great game tomorrow.

No the advantage would be in the bracket final if necessary game. The winners bracket team being the visiting team for that first game and home for the if necessary is what I meant. Which is basically how it is.

Just my $0.02, which is worth even less.

To bring it back 'round to your first post, I guess I don't know why the format doesn't make sense to you then. This has always been how baseball has been played.

I have to agree, the higher seed should be the home team all the way through. It makes winning mean something. I’m not sure why Mr. Doubleday from FAU thinks that’s the way baseball has always been played.

Heck of week and tip of the cap to FAU. Even after getting a 3-0 and then 4-0 lead I still never felt comfortable until the final out was made. Best of luck next week in your regional FAU.

His insistence on being wrong is puzzling. He should just take the L on this one.

Officials with the tournament couldn’t be happier with the turnout for the Southern Miss games, however the low attendance for all other games is concerning. Tim Bennett with Overtime Sports said, “When you look at any of the other teams that are playing, the stadium has about 100 to 200 people in it. That doesn’t go very well as far as attendance is concerned. Financially, it probably hurts a bit, but we’re blessed to have USM be as good as they are.”

The Conference USA Tournament is signed on to return next season, however the future after next season isn’t guaranteed.


FWIW, attendance the last 3 years for the championship game in which USM has played all 3 years:

2017: 5,216 (tournament record)
2018: 2,206
2019: 3,476

One of those championships was a top 15 team playing. I’ll let you guess which one.

Am I the only one that thought we had more people there for the CG than we did the previous two years?

I feel like the numbers are pretty accurate. The first year the stadium was nearly full whereas on Sunday the last 3-4 sections down the first base line were pretty empty as well as parts of the ends of the 3rd base side. I realize there were a ton of people standing in the concourse area in the shade but that was the same situation in 2017 as well. Stadium seating capacity is 5000 with an additional capacity of 1000 for standing room only.

2017: 5,216 (tournament record)
2018: 2,206
2019: 3,476

Attendance figures for 2019. Not all schools list attendance averages so I picked a few games toward the end of the season (usually the Friday/Saturday games as they are higher attended) and took a rough average so those numbers aren't official. The ones with asterisks (*) are the ones I couldn't find official attendance numbers.

USM: 3521
Rice: 2497
La Tech: *1200*
Charlotte:*750*
MTSU: *650*
ODU: 615
FAU: *500*
WKU: *450*
FIU: *386*
UTSA: 337
UAB: *250*
Marshall: *200*

Considering the numbers to begin with it explains why there are only 200 or so for most of the games that don't involve USM, Rice and/or La Tech. It does help USM's cause that the tournament is 70 miles or so from Hattiesburg in a city that has a big alumni base as well as USM has been in top 2 the last 4 yeas. This tournament will suffer those same attendance issues pretty much anywhere else when the home team is not playing. Look no further than the softball tournament in which the host team hasn't even qualified for it the last 4 years.

Why the heck do we win the C-USA tourney yet lose to UAB at everything. They get 200 fans per game and they would have cost us an at-large bid. They ruined our best chance at a BCS bowl. They've had maybe one good year in football. I don't get it.

This tournament will suffer those same attendance issues pretty much anywhere else when the home team is not playing. Look no further than the softball tournament in which the host team hasn't even qualified for it the last 4 years.

Why the heck do we win the C-USA tourney yet lose to UAB at everything. They get 200 fans per game and they would have cost us an at-large bid. They ruined our best chance at a BCS bowl. They've had maybe one good year in football. I don't get it.

It's the curse of 70-14. Ever since then UAB has has our number.
