Big East in MSG, for example. I think New Orleans would be the ideal neutral site for C-USA but the Sun Belt already uses that city for it's tournament. How does the SBC do attendance-wise? I know they have ULL close by and USA, ULM not far. C-USA would have LTU, USM, Rice fairly close.

El Paso hosting the tournament but UTEP finishes fifth.......just one ####### place behind to avoid receiving a two game bye in the tournament! I really wish UAB had won tonight! Now UTEP has to win four games in row to win the tournament in El Paso. I can guarantee you if Isaac Hamilton had chose to honor his National Letter of Intent instead of backing out UTEP wouldn't be in this position right now! any moniker that includes "dude", abides in my book... it's why we play the game, right? just take care of those snarky pirates first....

Doubtful but possible. Last night's game was called very poorly. If you read the Tulsa World article on winning the championship they mention that the refs chose to be very 'involved' in last nights game. I think there were 50 fouls and 65 free throws... I don't think that would be where we get upset... if anywhere it would be against MTSU.

RE: ***The OFFICIAL '13-'14 CUSA men's basketball tournament thread*** - ODUR8R - 03-07-2014 04:34 PM ODU got a favorable draw. Of the five "favorites" MT is the one I was hoping to get. La Tech, Southern Miss and UTEP all cruised past ODU in Norfolk....Tulsa beat ODU by 39. ODU had to play at MT on a Saturday after fighting through Winter Storm (Leon) to play UAB two days earlier. Which placed a strain on travel and they were flat. I would expect that they want to run that one back. No disrespect to MT.

This is the first year New Orleans will host the Sun Belt; in years past, it was in Hot Springs, AR and UALR, ASU, MT, and WKU all traveled decent to those games.

I don't know about that. Especially if ECU plays like they did last night at ODU. On a serious note: ECU has a history of playing well in tournaments (CUSA, CIT and NIT), so I wouldn't be surprised if ECU had a little run in the CUSA tournament because Lebo's teams are really hard to game plan for on short notice and a few hot shooter can carry ECU through. The problem for ECU is that they are always on the same side of the bracket as the host school (Memphis, Tulsa last year, Duke this year and now UTEP) and the fan support that the host school gets sometimes ends up being the difference.

I'm confused. As far as I can tell you've only ever won 2 conference tournaments in your history in 1972 and 1993 which got you NCAA births. You've never been invited to the NIT according to your wikipedia page. ECU has only ever advanced past round 1 in a postseason tourney 1 time (last year in the CIT) 1972- NCAA 1st round 1993- NCAA 1st round 2011- CIT 1st round 2013- CIT Chumps RE: ***The OFFICIAL '13-'14 CUSA men's basketball tournament thread*** - PirateMarv - 03-08-2014 12:17 AM (03-08-2014 12:05 AM)Dracorex Wrote:(03-07-2014 11:33 PM)PirateMarv Wrote:(03-07-2014 11:05 PM)PirateTreasureNC Wrote: ECU most likely will beat UTSA... . Well the biggest win in ECU's history was putting that very talented overall number 1 seed UAB team out of the CUSA tournament a couple of years back. That was like a national title for ECU fans, because UAB was just so very talented and was a national title contender.

Yeah only a UAB fan would believe that their school was the biggest win in ECU's basketball history. |
