HUNTINGTON – Fit to be tied. That’s what’s going to happen on Saturday night, when the 2012-13 Conference USA men’s basketball regular season is complete.

Marshall is going to be tied with someone, in some place, before the 11-team bracket is designed for next week’s C-USA Tournament at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.

If you want to know what’s what before Saturday night, you’ve come to the right place. With some standings-unraveling in concert with Steve Cotton, longtime broadcast “Voice of the Herd” – I’ve never seen him wear a tie, by the way – read on to see how it can all shake out.

The Saturday games have the Herd at East Carolina, UAB at Memphis, UTEP at SMU, Houston at Tulane, Tulsa at Rice and UCF at Southern Miss. Of those six, only the game in Hattiesburg will have no bearing on tournament seeding.
