C-USA Men’s basketball tournament seating

Five teams are battling for four first round byes in the C-USA men’s basketball tournament. Each team UTEP, Memphis, UAB, Tulsa, and Marshall have four conference games left. Below I have gone through each teams remaining schedule and predicted wins and losses:

UTEP

@ Tulsa W
@ Southern Miss W
Rice W
@ Marshall L
UAB W

14 -2, 23 - 6

Memphis

SMU W
@ Houston W
Southern Miss W
@UAB L
Tulsa L

12 – 4, 22 - 9

UAB

Houston W
@ UCF W
Tulane W
Memphis W
@UTEP L

12 – 4, 24 - 6

Tulsa

UTEP L
@ Duke L
@ ECU W
SMU W
@ Memphis W

11 – 5, 22 - 9

Marshall

@ Tulane W
@ Rice W
UCF W
UTEP W
@ SMU L

11 – 5, 23 – 8

If the each team finishes with the record above the final standings will look like this:

UTEP 14 -2
Memphis 12 – 4
UAB 12 -4
Marshall 11 - 5
Tulsa 11- 5

Marshall would own the tie breaker over Tulsa due to a better record against the conferences best team (UTEP). Memphis would be the second seed over UAB because of the Tigers one win and no losses to Marshall compared to UAB’s 1 - 1 record against the Herd.

How do you think things will finish in C-USA, leave your predictions in the comments section.
