Getting two votes. It's a nice reward for a well played season. This was the final poll for the season. It's nice that we RV but that doesn't mean much to us now.

Please let this be the time we break the top 25 curse.
The 2019-2020 team won several times while receiving votes. Now the world got cancelled after the final AP poll, but hopefully that curse doesn't come back.
The Dan Patrick Show just spent 10 minutes on our name. Why did Stephen "F" Austin? It came as a result of then giving our score from the McNeese game. At least they were talking about the Lumberjacks and that's good...I guess?!
According to this article on the NCAA. We are for sure going to NIT.

Beautiful. Glad we are doing the NIT.

The NIT will be good for SFA, as they will still get some national exposure, post season play experience for those players coming back for 2027, and a chance to win some post season games as well, which could help make SFA look good as a destination when it comes to picking up players in the portal.

Our previous NIT bids ended quickly, though I remember that Stanford game going down to the wire and I thought we would pull it off. However, it's been 10 years. I'm ready for a real postseason victory.

If I remember correctly Bill Walton was calling that game.

We lost the Stanford game 58-57.
As for the 2009 UMass game, I was there for the 20 point blowout. Jacks found out at 9:00 PM central they had to play in Amherst. They had to lay over twice and got to Amherst late Monday. They only had an opportunity for a short walk through Tuesday for a 6:00 PM Eastern time tip off that night. The committee did us no favors.
Dante Milligan killed us in the paint and we had no answer. He averaged less than 9 a game and put up a career high 24 on us.
McNeese gives Armstrong a 5 year $1.985 million dollar contract. Pretty big bet. Even for McNeese.
Axe 'Em Jacks - Class of 85'
Doubtful we'll get to host but there's a chance. The 12 top conferences (WAC was 12) gets the right to host if they choose.

Yet they probably pay none of their coaches even close lol. Very one-sided of the coin.I bet WBB is next in contract amounts.

I like it. Should be a good match-up.

Desmond Haymon is on their coaching staff!
Any chance hosting a 2nd round game if UNLV wins? Obviously if we win also....
The winner of SFA Tulsa plays UC Irvine/UNLV
I like the Jacks bracket. Winnable games.

Tulsa is the #1 Seed in the Tulsa Region. An 8 team region. Other seeds: Oklahoma State, 2. Wichita State, 3. UC Irvine, 4

Nevermind. Considering Tulsa is the 1 seed then we are the 8th. No chance of hosting.
UC Irvine lost in the NIT Championship last year by a point to Chattanooga. This is a stacked regional.
I wonder if SFA is working on a new deal for Coach Braeuer?

McNeese is focused on three sports. MBB, WBB, and softball. Their very successful softball coach recently got an extension also.

Another extension! #McNeese has given WBB Coach Ayla Guzzardo a 5-year worth $877,000. pic.twitter.com/vMBoel9OAQ

Good to see good coaches being rewarded.
All I have to say is SFA needs to step up and extend Coach B. What he has done this past year is amazing.
