Conference USA Baby : Rice Owls
Rice certainly isn't panicking about being 0-1 in Conference USA. That doesn't mean the Owls aren't a little frustrated, though, about not being 1-0. Rice lost a heartbreaker in its conference opener Jan. 7, 63-61 to Marshall at home. Rice's best player, junior forward Arsalan Kazemi, was tripped af... (original story)

Conference USA Baby : Memphis Tigers
Memphis finally seems headed in the right direction for the first time in a long time. Memphis finished the 2011 portion of its 2011-12 schedule by beating Robert Morris 64-47 and Charlotte 67-58.

Conference USA Baby : Houston Cougars
The hope is the Houston Cougars on Jan. 7 at UTEP will be able to take a night off from the nail-biters that have become the norm this season.

Two streaks down, one to go. Before heading to Rice for a game in Houston on Saturday, Marshall had to settle the not so small matter of a pair of bothersome streaks.

Conference USA Baby : UTEP Miners
It's been just two seasons since Houston snapped a 16-game UTEP win streak with a shocking 81-73 upset victory in the Conference-USA Tournament championship game, but that doesn't mean that there's necessarily a rivalry brewing between the two clubs. That's because both programs replaced coaching st... (original story)
