Brian mentioned Conference USA earlier and how tight the top of the league is. With its new configuration, it's almost certain they'll only get 1-bid. Even though that's true, it's also true as Brian mentioned, how fun the final week and tournament will be. Here's how they stack up as of today:
1. Southern Miss, 11-3 (24-5) - 70th KP
Louisiana Tech, 11-3 (23-6) - 49th KP
Middle Tennessee, 11-3 (21-8) - 88th KP
Tulsa, 11-3 (16-12) - 78th KP
2. UTEP, 10-4 (20-9) - 93rd KP
All of these teams have good coaches. Donnie Tyndall at USM, Michael White at LaTech, Kermit Davis, Jr. at Middle Tennessee and Danny Manning has done a good job at Tulsa turning them around in his 2nd season. At UTEP, Tim Floyd has had a very Tim Floyd year. Gets into an altercation with Andy Enfield and loses 3 players to a gambling investigation.
The best wins amongst the four were a win for Louisiana Tech at Oklahoma and UTEP beat Tennessee on a neutral court.
Whoever comes out of here, especially if it's Louisiana Tech, will be a tough 12 or 13 for some team
