REGULAR SEASON
May 30, 2018 : I'm not digging the #Cusa hoop scheduling change in which the top five teams in the league will play each other for the final four conference games, as will teams seeded 6-10 and teams seeded 11-14. Yes, I think the #cusa get shorted on dance tickets, but gearing everything toward the RPI metrics and having some teams face each other three times in the reular season borders on bizarre.
June 22, 2018
#mitchell robinson of #wku went to the Knicks in rd2. Only #cusa player taken.
July 1, 2018
#UAB- #ChrisCokely averaged 17 pts, 9 reb in his senior and the #charlottehornets signed him as a UFA
Nice overview...sad to see the #Herd lose to Morehead St . Just returned from a 2-week cruise through the Panama Canal. Trying to get caught up on my sports.
ReplyDelete#herd need to regroup quickly. Did you get a tan? +robertash
ReplyDeleteThriller in TX. Nice win by the #Herd. Needed Charlotte to beat UTSA to help the #Herd to avoid potential tie-breakers. Some feel the #Herd will beat #ODU in Huntington. MTSU and WKU are the best of the league.
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with MTSU and WKU as CUSA cream. I under-estimated UTSA in my pre-season picks. +robert ash
ReplyDeleteYeah...think UTSA is a little bit of a shocker. Herd still has a small shot at the bye. I'm not sure they can beat MTSU and UAB this time around. There is a rumor Marshall will go to a "buy-in" tournament if they fail to win the conference tournament. A change from last year. HC said he wanted to get some experience for his young team.
ReplyDeleteIf Elmore would've used 2 of those 3-pointers against ODU, the #Herd would have won that game as well.
DeleteRobert- UTSA should beat Rice , but who knows which NTX squad will show for their March 1 matchup
DeleteHerd wins ! ! Its been a LONG time since the last dance !
ReplyDeletecongrats to you and the Herd
DeleteThought the CUSA teams represented fairly well. Great job by North TX. Next year, I would like to see 2 CUSA teams in the NCAA tournament.
ReplyDeleteBig ? is how will coaching Change affect #mtsu next season
DeleteWell with the transfers and dismissals, #mtsu will be rebuilding. The longtime #herd fans believe the following will be the teams to beat: UTSA, UNT, ODU, WKU, La Tech and Marshall. Hope these teams play well outside the conference!
DeleteRobert- #wku and #herd are my early picks to excel in the 2018/19 CUSA hoops. Maybe UNT has staying power?
