Conference USA announced via press release that a new men’s basketball scheduling format will be implemented in 2018-19.
The new format will group teams together based on win-loss records after 14 conference games, and C-USA hopes the increase in quality late season matchups will increase its representation in postseason tournament play.
“With the goals to improve seeding and increase the number of teams that advance to the postseason, we viewed this as a great opportunity to enhance our top teams’ resumes by providing them additional quality games within their conference schedule,” C-USA Commissioner Judy MacLeod said.
