I, for one, am very happy with the move to C-USA and I think almost all of the Tulsa fans are, Maybe NN, will miss the Nevada games and the WAC info in his local paper about Tulsa!! :D It makes a lot more sense, to be playing Memphis, Houston and Tulane than SJSU, Boise and Hawaii even though BB games with Fresno and Hawaii over the years were pretty interesting!! There are some WAC teams I would like to see us play whenever we can, La Tech, Boise and maybe Fresno every once in a while!!! At least there won't be any games finishing after midnight, unless UTEP schedules a late game, and the Eastern Press might know we exist a little. Overall, I don't think CUSA loses anything in football, looking at the last 10 years, Louisville hasn't been that great that many years. Marshall, UTEP and Yes, Tulsa more than makes up for them. CUSA lost some really good BB teams so BB won't be as strong, especially to start with, but I think without a doubt, CUSA will consistently get 3 teams, maybe more some years, in the NCAA tourney within just a year or two and make it one of the 7-8 best BB conferences year in and year out, which ain't bad at all. Overall, I think it's the best move Tulsa has made in a long time and I am really looking forward to it!!!!
