While FIU treads water, losing two of three weekly because Panther bats rest on the Christian sabbath (2-6 on Sunday in Conference USA play), Middle's been watching the Panthers' back by keeping their competitors back. If not for a surprisingly strong conference season from the Blue Raiders, FIU's chances of making the Conference USA tournament would sit at the somebody-kill-a-chicken stage instead of tied for sixth with Alabama-Birmingham.

This weekend, Middle swept Western Kentucky, leaving the Hill People on the outside for now, in ninth and two games behind FIU. The Hill People went two for three at Camp Mitch, including an embarrassing Sunday run rule win. You can find Old Dominion, another team Middle swept, tied with Western after taking two of three from FIU this weekend. The current eighth place team, Charlotte, got swept by Middle. So did UAB.

So Middle won all 12 games against FIU's peers in the conference standings. And, the Panthers should thank God and Conference USA scheduling lords that Middle's the one conference team FIU doesn't play this season.

The Miami Herald Writer has some serious wit about him. Very amusing article.

7 teams in Top 100 with ODU and LA Tech just outside. Still looks like 2 NCAA tournament teams (Rice, FAU) unless there is an upset in the conference championship.

If we were only saying that about basketball. Solid baseball in CUSA this year.

RE: CUSA Baseball
Rice has essentially locked up the regular season championship.

Though not mathmatically so, the probability of Middle Tennessee overcoming the current situation is next to improbable. Up a game and having the head-to-head advantage, Rice essentially has a two game lead meaning we have to sweep USM and Rice has to lose two out of three to FIU.

Considering MT will probably be facing the hottest team in the league right now not only are we not going to sweep we need to be careful not to get swept ourselves next weekend while Rice gets a team headed in the other direction with FIU losing five out of their last six weekend series.

So, congrats Rice on winning the C-USA Championship. We gave it a good effort, but just haven't played well enough down the stretch to win a championship.

Rice may also be back in the running to host a regional. RPI currently up to 19

Big game Tuesday against Houston, who also hopes to host a Regional. Coogs leading a balanced AAC.
