There is one game remaining for 2011-12 regular season action tomorrow in UNT @ Denver, but should the Pioneers win this would be the final seeding:

The Owls are locked into the 8th spot, and will take on Arkansas State as the 9th seed next Saturday at 7:00 p.m. EST. Of note, the league is yet to announce where the East and West winners will be placed. Let's hope MTSU is in the opposite bracket.

With the league announcing where the division leaders will go this evening, MTSU gets the winner of game 2; which the Owls will play in.

So…….

Should FAU knock of ASU for the second straight time and make it to day two, let's Hope they play the best game of the season therein.

On a side note:

That contest will be televised on The Sun Belt Network Sunday, March 4th at 7:00 p.m.

Last night's game against Denver was a good one for the Toppers, my money (not literally) is on them in this one as well!

The winner of a conference tournament getting the NCAA bid over the full season champion is a farce in a conference like the Belt.

Look at last year and this year - if the NCAA is smart they switch the criteria to the auto bid goes to the season champ and the tourny champ "maybe" gets an invite (but please not with a losing recoed)! As of now it makes the NCAA bid a joke!

That takes away the whole point of having a conference tournament. I understand what you're saying, in smaller leagues like ours winning the conference the last 2 years means a whole lot of nothing because you don't even get a bid to the big dance. Simple solution… WIN! Win in the conference tourney and you won't have to worry about that

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

+1

On a side note, did we deserve to go to the dance last year??

I think the whole thing's kinda ridiculous. I understand what it takes to win the Championship, especially if you're playing all four games, but we sent UALR on and they got smooshed last year because they weren't a good team. Same thing this year. Our best team is MTSU and now they're out of the running for the NCAA Tournament.

If WKU wins don't count them out so easily. They've been there before and they're playing very well right now.

As for UNT, if Mitchell wants to get drafted in the 1st round then he needs to put this team on his back and show what he can do against much tougher opponents than the Sunbelt

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!
