I'll be close-ish for a work meeting on Wednesday morning and have planned to attend all games on days 1 and 2. Unfortunately, I'll have to leave after that but I'm excited about attending my first CUSA basketball tournament games ever. Any UTEP (or other CUSA) fans going?

The Thundering Herd will play four teams from conferences with a top four RPI with road games at Villanova (Nov. 11) and at Kentucky (Dec. 22) as well as games against West Virginia (Dec. 5) and Cincinnati (Dec. 15) at the Charleston Civic Center.
Apparently ECU is interested in UNC-C for inclusion in MWC-CUSA merger/alliance/wtfever it's going to be. Also, less than one month until formal announcement?

I have not previously visited or read articles from this site or this author, but I thought this was a pretty intriguing idea. I wonder why the Big East hasn't approached a CUSA or Mountain West about some sort of merger? Almost certainly unlikely, but a fun read nonetheless.
