Wilson: C-USA is improving

The Chronicle's Moisekapenda Bower today notes the improvements being made to basketball facilities across Conference USA:

"This league is a lot better than it was a year ago," Rice coach Willis Wilson said, despite the fact that four teams (Memphis, UAB, Houston and UTEP) reached the postseason in 2005-06. "The bottom half of the league has come up considerably, and I think it's only going to get better next year. We're doing the right things. Sometimes your results don't show up on the front end ... but everybody has worked hard to make the league better."

Part of that work is the commitment shown to improving facilities by Rice, SMU, UTEP and Central Florida.

Houston remains conspicuously absent from the facilities discussion, despite playing in a dilapidated arena that has been neglected for decades. If Chris Del Conte can figure out a way to renovate Autry Court, isn't it time for Dave Maggard to get that ball rolling for Hofheinz?
