This is a team that went 16-0 at home and has played in the NIT the last three years, reaching the quarterfinals last year. CMU hasn't been to the postseason since 2003. Experience edge here to Louisiana Tech, and playing on their home court should help. The last time they played a team of CMU's caliber at home was against UTEP and they smacked them down 77-60 three weeks ago in a game they were fired up for (like this one tonight). They beat another good team (Western Kentucky) 69-56 at home. Meanwhile CMU has struggled on the road against good teams, losing to Kent St and Akron by a combined 16 points.
La Tech took Syracuse, NC State and Temple to the wire. This is a good offense and great defense on display. CMU might get run out of the gym in this one....
