CUSA Women’s Basketball: What the Top 3 Teams Need to Do to Stay There

Conference USA is made up of 14 schools who compete in NCAA Division I basketball. As of February 3, 2020, these are the top 3 teams in the Conference Standings

1. Old Dominion University
2. Louisiana Tech University
3. University of North Carolina at Charlotte

To stay at the top of the conference, these teams need to continue winning games and improving their conference record. In order to do that, they need to focus on a few key areas:

– Offense: all three teams are averaging over 70 points per game but they will need to continue to be consistent on offense and put up points against tough opponents.
– Defense: all three teams are allowing less than 60 points per game but they will need to maintain their defensive intensity and not let opposing teams get easy baskets.
– Rebounding: rebounding is important for any team, but it is especially important for these teams because they want to control the pace of the game. All three teams are averaging over 40 rebounds per game but they will need to continue to crash the boards and give themselves extra possessions.

If these teams can continue to win games and improve in these areas, they should be able to stay near the top of the Conference USA standings.

CUSA Women’s Basketball: Season Predictions

The 2020-21 season of Conference USA women’s basketball looks to be one of the most competitive in recent years There are a number of teams that could make a run at the top spot in the standings, but we’ve singled out three as our preseason favorites.

1. Old Dominion Monarchs
The Monarchs come into the season as the defending CUSA champions and will be looking to repeat in 2021. They return four starters from last year’s team, including conference player of the year Victoria Espinoza. Espinoza will be joined by fellow all-conference selection Najeeyah Malik in leading Old Dominion to another successful season

2. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
The Blue Raiders are coming off a disappointing 2019-20 campaign, but they have a talented roster that should be able to compete for a conference title this season. Their starting five features three seniors who have plenty of experience playing together and will be looking to finish their careers on a high note.Middle Tennessee will be a tough team to beat in 2020-21.

3. Rice Owls
The Owls are another team that is loaded with experience, as they return four starters from last year’s squad. They also have one of the best players in the conference in Erica Ogwumike, who was named first-team all-conference last season. If Ogwumike can lead Rice to a conference title it would be the first for the school since 2000.
