USM is hot, having won 9 straight going into a makeup game with Tulane today. Could be very hard holding on to the 2nd place seed for the tournament but, it's great going into the last conference series with a chance of a championship. Going to be a lot of scoreboard watching this weekend (hope we still have a reason to be scoreboard watching on Sat. with the ASN televised home finale - anyone know if this game will be picked up locally?)
