Since neither this site, the Times-Picayune or Conference USA have it figured out, I'll make it plain and simple.
Tulane qualifies for the CUSA Tournament with a win over UCF on Saturday and a UAB loss to Rice OR a UAB loss to East Carolina. The Green Wave only needs one of the two, and what Memphis does against Southern Miss is immaterial.
The only way Tulane is out with a win is if UAB wins and East Carolina loses. In that scenario, Tulane would tie UAB for sixth place, and UAB would get in because it beat Tulane 2 out of 3.
If East Carolina and Tulane win, those two teams and Houston would be tied, and Tulane would make the tourney in any possible tiebreaker because it beat both of them 2 out of 3. If you play it out with a potential four-team tiebreaker with Memphis or a potential five-team tiebreaker with UAB, Tulane still would get in.
