08:17 AM ET 05.29 | Should Memphis host the C-USA tournament before bolting? [The Tigers'] move to the Big East has the league rethinking its plan [to play at FedExForum] because some of the schools that are loyal to C-USA -- otherwise known as the schools that didn't get Big East invitations -- don't think it's right to reward a program on the way out by allowing it to play a postseason event on its home court. So what's it gonna be? Will C-USA hold its title game at FedExForum live on CBS in front of 18,000 fans provided Memphis is involved, which would be the safest bet possible? Or will C-USA cut off its nose to spite its face, move the event to Tulsa, and risk a nationally televised title game with 2,000 fans in the building? Stay tuned.

Sounds like your Wildrats took it in somewhere other than the neck!

We're going to Houston as #2 seed to Rice. If we win there (offense MUST show up), we go to Waco to play Baylor in Super.

Someone didn't ge the memo that Arky quit the SWC 20 yrs ago!

Well...that SWC you mentioned turned into C-USA (Rice), Big 12 (Baylor) and SEC (Arkie)!

And SMU/Houston will be Big Least so that's four conferences out of the old SWC!

Amazing how things change.....conference realignment sux

BTW, Guido et al....can someone give me a feel for Rice in baseball this year? I haven't seen them play. 40 wins and a top 10 ranking look really good.....they do it with pitching or offense?

Just curious....

While not having a shutdown ace, they have good pitching depth. Almost all can keep them in games. I think all starters and all the relievers they'll use in playoffs have an era below 3.

Not a lot of power hitting. Good, sound baseball team. They tanked in the tourney, but it seems many good teams did this year. If they rebound, they have a decent shot at CWS and a tough road for Arky.
