I'm not as optimistic, but I'll say if USM wins versus WKU, then they will win the tournamemt. The problem is that for USM, it is the The Dance or nothing. USM will not even get an NIT invite even if they beat WKU. USM basketball has been in CUSA since 1995, and this is its best chance in the nearly quarter century to win the tournament. Winning this tournament will be a huge help in releiving the pain that this program has endured.
