The Golden Eagles (24-6,8-1 C-USA) have easily emerged as the top contender for the regular season Conference USA crown, but there is one team that sits right behind them — Old Dominion.
Conference play has shaken up much differently than it has in past years. The biggest change is Rice , who have for decades been a powerhouse, sit with a 10-21 record. As of now, they are on pace to miss the conference tournament.
Florida Atlantic is playing expectedly with a 19-8 overall record and 7-2 in C-USA. The loss of so many starters from last season has set them back, but by no means does that make them a bad ball club.
