104.0. "Metro Conference " by SNDCSL::HAUSRATH (Who,Stones in '89. Zep in '90) Fri Jan 05 1990 15:17

    
    Figured we should have a note for one of the top conferences in 
    College Hoops:
    
    The Metro Conference.
    
    Always seems to have at least 2 or 3 teams in the top 20.  
    Let the discussion begin.

    Guess I'll start it out..  
    
    I know Tulane re-instated their basketball team this year.  Does anyone
    know if they have re-joined the Metro, or whether they are planning to?

104.2They ARE in the Metro...but it'll be a tough year.MILKWY::KEHLIt's a lie...that's the truthWed Jan 17 1990 16:268
    
    I have a copy of the Cincinnati Bearcat basketball schedule.  As you
    may or may not know, they are in the Metro Conference.  They are
    scheduled to play Tulane twice.  From this indication (as well as my
    'hometown' "sources") I believe they have rejoined the Metro.

    This is also roughly the current standings in the Metro. 4 teams have
    15 or more wins. Louisville is sure to make the NCAA tourney and I
    think there could be 2 more bids divided among Cincy, Southern Miss. 
    and Memphis State. Not bad representation for an 8 team conference.

    Louisville beat Southern Mississippi 83-80 to win the Metro tournament.
    The tournament ran exactly as seeded with the higher seed winning each
    game. These same two teams made the NCAA Tourney. Cincinnati and
    Memphis State made the NIT. Good luck to all the Metro teams in the
    tourneys.
