Penava sure was looking like a big piece in Marshall's success last season. It doesn't look like Marshall will be lacking in plenty of players who can keep that system going strong. It would seem that Marshall will be a force in C-USA next season.
WKU will likely be competitive at the top of the conference. UAB has to get things turned around to get back to the top of the conference. Both Charlotte and UTEP will likely be back on the rise if their new HCs turn out to be decent or better. UNT and Southern Miss could be darkhorse teams next season. ODU will be good as usual. Should be an interesting year for C-USA basketball.
