    Overall, Conference USA basketball was a decent mid-major league this season. North Texas found themselves on top of their division and the overall conference. Middle Tennessee took the top of the East side of the conference. Southern Mississippi found themselves at the bottom of the conference with a 1-17 record. Last year’s Conference USA Tournament winner was North Texas. The Mean Green come into this year’s tournament with a 1-seed, can they make a run back to the college basketball Big Dance? The following contains the Conference USA Tournament bracket and schedule, as well as a preview of what we can expect to see.

    CUSA Basketball Breakdown

    North Texas was a three seed last year when they won the Conference USA Tournament. The Mean Green are looking to defend their title with a likely competitor being Middle Tennessee. With the tournament being played in Frisco, TX this year, you have to imagine that North Texas would be right at home. Rice, UTEP and UTSA also fit that pedigree.

    North Texas is the obvious favorite to win the conference tournament. The Mean Green feature four players who average 10 or more points per game. Although this is the case, North Texas excels on the defensive side of the ball. They lead the country in least amount of points given up per game, 55.6. The Mean Green will undoubtedly rely on their defense, as they only score 65.8 points a game. (309th in the country)

    The preseason poll for Conference USA basketball was very different than what the standings turned out to be. The biggest overachiever in the conference in relation to the preseason poll was Middle Tennessee, which was projected to finish seventh but finished first. The biggest underachiever in relation to the preseason poll was Marshall, who was projected to finish fourth in the East, but finished seventh.
