For the games happening this week.

MT @ FIU in less than 5 minutes... and there are like 200 people max (and that's probably an overestimate) in the stands. What the heck FIU. I know y'all are not good but come on. That aside, not sure how the Raiders will look on the road against a not very good conference team. They should know they have a target on their backs but I think there's a tendency to play down to competition.

The team has not been playing very well. You won't see basketball support unless the team wins more. The attendance was much better when Pitino Jr. was coaching. I see the game is tied up late in the 1st half.

Well this may be a good start for getting more support. MT currently playing like total poop and FIU leads by four at halftime after playing (somewhat) better.

It’s hard to get up for a game against a team you should beat, especially in an empty gym. That being said, it’s critical to win these games and win them with an appropriate margin to improve RPI and try to get in as good a position as possible for tournament seeding. While Middle should win the conference, it’s not a given. One bad night and the auto bid goes to a lucky team who had a great night and overachieved. It happens every year in a mid major conference somewhere. Each year it’s harder and harder for mid majors to get an at large bid to the big dance.

I think MT , Marshall , WKU or ODU would represent CUSA well this year

Bracy didn't start and was questionable due to a bad back. Our team looks pretty terrible so far tonight but close game at the half

I’d love to see two CUSA teams heading to the big dance. It’s a shame most of the country doesn’t get to see the diversity of talent in the conference. What’s reallllly important is making sure the ACC gets on all the highlight reels, apparently.

UNT looks like hot garbage tonight. The dumb passes are killing us.

No disrespect to fiu but the conference can't afford mt to lose lol

Simpson called for a blocking foul after being set and outside the circle - FIU hits FTs and it's overtime. What a joke

Wow FIU actually made free throws. A Christmas miracle.

On TV?

FIU likely will fall to 0-3 in OT games this year. Can never seem to close out the close ones....

Charlotte is at North Texas tonight. Charlotte has some good talent. Be back after the game with an update.

Congrats on the win MT. Too bad FIU couldn't pull off the upset.

It should be... But it isn't. Not a dumb question though, I expect games to be on TV so it's odd to see them not but then again we do have some... not TV-worthy schools apparently? Who knows why the games aren't on. Either way, Raiders win 71-67 after OT.

FIU would have won if they were able to shoot FTs.
