I really thought ODU fans had a higher basketball iq.
LMAO! God bless those people in Norfolk (ODU fans and alums specifically). They are special. They are in for one helluva awakening. I have never ever heard a school so full of themselves like ODU, and I am comparing them to Big XII schools, too.One of the comments from that thread.

I think he analysis was pretty spot on. He didnt pick ODU to win the conference. I think his tiers are pretty accurate.
You think UTEP will be fighting for a spot in the CUSA tournament? That’s basically what the third tier is.
The way I read that is that we would be fighting for 5th or 6th which is where I have us. I think he only has five teams ahead of us.
I pretty sure he thinks those 8bare going to be the only decent teams. He does mention he thinks Charlotte could sneak in.
I didn’t read it like that. Good point. I don’t think UNT and USM completely fall off the grid.
Tier 1
WKU, UTSA, ODU, UAB, UTEP
Tier 2
UNT, LT, FIU, Marshall, Charlotte
Tier 3
MTSU, Rice, FAU, USM
WKU, UTSA, ODU, UAB, UTEP
Tier 2

Jay Ladner at USM is supposed to take them to the top of CUSA. Sadler was specifically brought in to clean up the program, get them thru the rough stormy waters and bring in recruits to build upon. He was somewhat pretty successful (He spanked UTEP) in what he did so he told USM "My job here is done". So yes, I expect USM to challenge CUSA. The only kicker is USM has not brought in the recruits/transfers WKU and UTEP have brought in and you can not discount a first year head coach who was from the lower ranks (but he does have a winning record and knows the region). They also went the alumni route and I personally don't believe in that but some do. But it would not surprise me if USM is in the top four in CUSA next year. Literally every team in CUSA, except Rice and UTEP, is making bold claims this is "their year" for basketball. Reading the tea leaves, it's going to be surprising year and the fan base of the talkers (add ODU, UTSA, UNT, and La Tech here) will be "but what happened? It was supposed to be our year".
Don't be surprised to see Charlotte, UTEP, USM and possibly Rice to be at the top of CUSA. UNT has one hell of a coach and is an X factor so I expect top five from them. CRT is a great coach and has his players, I expect a top three finish from UTEP and a possible CUSA championship. This should be fun.
Hope you enjoyed your mini run, or what ever it was UTSA, now get back into that high school gym.

Calling the Convocation Center an high school gym is an insult to high school gyms everywhere. I haven't been to Rice, but UTSA is by far the worst gym in CUSA.
Rice has one of the best basketball gyms in C-USA? I hope I misunderstood your post. Their gym is a ****ing joke unless I'm way out of date and they've built a new one.
Autry post renovation is a great venue. They did a great job. Corona is right it's a gem. If you haven't been I highly recommend it.

Does any one remember when Haskins would rib SDSU for their lousy gym many moons ago?
Wow. There are some nice OOC games on these two schedules: OU, VCU, Utah St. Arkansas, Dayton, Boise St, UK, UT and Memphis. There are some big opportunities there.
