The 2009 Conference USA Tournament is almost over as the seeding has held true throughout and the #1 seed Memphis Tigers will take on the #2 seed Tulsa Golden Hurricane in the C-USA Tournament Championship Game today. Memphis, the heavy favorite, looks to win their 4th consecutive Conference USA Basketball Tournament Championship while Tulsa looks to stun the college basketball world and punch their ticket into the Big Dance. Tulsa is 24-9 on the season after finishing with Conference USA’s second-best record at 12-4 and is ranked #67 in the RPI.

March is here and with March comes the college basketball madness, but first we have the conference tournaments. The two weeks leading up to the 2009 NCAA Tournament are sure to be just as thrilling as teams play for their postseason lives, and the Conference USA Tournament is no different. The 2009 C-USA Basketball Tournament will be no different than in recent years; it will again be held on Memphis’ home floor, the FedEx Forum, and the Tigers will yet again be the #1 seed and heavy favorites. It appears that UAB and Tulsa will battle for the #2 seed but Houston is just a game back of both. The seeding 4-9 is all up for grabs but it appears that the #10 & 11 seeds will go to Rice & Southern Miss with SMU getting the #12 seed and facing a 20-loss season.

Another year and another Conference USA Basketball tournament championship for the Memphis Tigers. The #1-seeded Tigers topped #7 seed Tulsa 77-51 on CBS on Saturday, and will likely earn a #1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.

For the Houston Cougars it has been a long and disappointing season. In a season that featured a brutal out of conference schedule and surprising losses to VCU, South Alabama, St. Louis and more, Cougar fans had to be a little disappointed. But some of the disappointment has disappeared as the Cougars (18-14) have knocked off #6 Southern Miss and #7 Rice on consecutive nights to advance to the Conference USA Basketball Tournament Championship Game. A win on Saturday would turn a disappointing season into a huge success; a loss could mean the end of the line for the 2007 Houston Cougars.
