BASKETBALL CUSA Basketball

[Noogaraider1]

CUSA is on fire right now. The league is definitely better than what we have seen before. Looks like running through conference play is a thing of the past.

RealtimeRPI.com has us as the third ranked conference (for now), just under the ACC and SEC.

22-6 as a whole with wins over

Oklahoma State
SMU
UCF
Wichita State
Mercer
Hawaii
Sam Houston

Let's add Belmont to that list tonight! Where was this level of competition when we needed an at large bid?

Made a lot of money betting CUSA opponents against non conference opponents thus far. I loaded up on that La. Tech Wichita State game. CUSA hoops just doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Conference appears to be quite good this year. A shame we had to have this year a rebuilding year. If we can keep this up we are a multi-bid league for sure.

For full disclosure, the 22-6 overall record includes impact of 11 games against non-Division 1 competition. The league is 12-5 against D1 competition, which is still a phenomenal start for the conference. The best record the conference has had against D1 OOC opponents since our arrival was 113-104 (.521 win %) in 2013-14, so a 12-5 start (.706 win %) is outstanding. The conference has 129 OOC games remaining. At least 36 of those are against top 100 teams from last year. That number could go higher depending on how various exempt tournaments go for opponents that aren't yet known for various C-USA teams.
