Fili initiated some ridiculous discussions about the Miners' chances for an at large bid before finally giving it up after our blowout loss to NMSU. There was one CUSA team coming into conference play, however, that did have realistic dreams of an at large provided they dominated the conference: Liberty. Unfortunately for the Flames, however, their play in conference hasn't been nearly as impressive as it was OOC, and those dreams are dashed. Still, I believe Liberty to be a significantly better team than we are, they're at home, and will be looking to bounce back after second conference home loss that they really should have won. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this one going our way:
Liberty 79
UTEP 65
Liberty 79
UTEP 65
