MTSU, NMSU, UTEP and Liberty.

So seeding for 4th thru 7th would be decided by tie breakers.

Liberty would be the 4th seed since they are the only 1 of the 4 with wins vs both SHSU and La Tech.

The 5th, 6th and 7th seeds may have to be settled by a coin toss.

No difference between getting 4 and 5. The difference between 4/5 and 6/7 is a little bigger but with 9 teams and so many so closely matched even that isn't that big of a deal.

Congrats to the Kats

So typical of Tech to roll over and play dead in front of the biggest crowd of the season.

SHSU faces off with Jacksonville State this afternoon. 2 PM CT start, ESPN+ for TV.

Kats and Hilltoppers (facing Liberty in Lynchburg) going for 20 win seasons today.

Honestly I have seen Tech win the conference too many times and lay an egg in the tournament. Winning the conference means absolutely nothing in basketball. Too much emphasis is placed on a weekend set of games. But congrats SAM anyway. It is a great accomplishment even though it gets you absolutely no benifits.

Well you used to have the consolation of a guaranteed NIT bid, but that's not there anymore.

Bearkats win. Bet cut down postgame!

Haha! I think we’re all trying to soak this in as much as we can. Was a celebratory afternoon in Huntsville. Teams like this don’t come around every year.

Trophy is nice to parade around but won’t matter in a few days. New season starts tomorrow.

Yes but so sad that u aren’t at least guaranteed an NIT bid. Honestly what is wrong with college sports

NMSU gets a win over FIU. Nice to see a W again.
