I would be interested in the viewer numbers from ESPN+ to CBSSN. I'm sure it's more from a broadcast perspective, but I wonder how many SFA fans that pay for ESPN get left without being able to watch.

Me to. I'm a dedicated ESPN+ watcher. Probably catch 90% of SFA MBB & FB games on ESPN + when I'm not able to attend in person. Additionally I've been known to watch SFA WVB and WBB games.

I don't think I'm an outlier….

I still think CBSN is free for consumers to watch I think? Because Ive watched past "National" broadcast games on it before I think.

Im just glad we do have most of our stuff on ESPN+. I can't stand FloSports.

Was our game with Lyon College on espn +? Tried to watch the replay but it wasn't available.

It's there in the 'On Demand' section. You have to search a bit to find it.

Open the ESPN app. Go all the way down to the bottom to where it says 'Conferences'. Click on the SLC logo. Click on 'On Demand'. Both the women's game vs. U. Dallas and the men's game vs. Lyon are there.

McNeese played College of Biblical Studies tonight. Mcneese 135 - COBS 87.

The Cowboys gave up 87 to COBS. Hmmm.

ETAM at the top? Considering they've beaten Oklahoma and Rice, it makes sense.

But in all honesty, Oklahoma is weak this year. In addition to their loss to ETAM, they had difficulty in beating North Alabama by 9.

ETAM has a legit freshman 1st rd NBA draft prospect from Europe on their team.. He will be the best player in the SLC by the end of the year..

20 year old freshman. Mohamed Diakite. From Poitiers, France. The source I found projects him as a 2nd round NBA pick. 6'9", 208 pounds. Wears number 5. Ranked #26 among 2027 power forwards. Had 15 points and 7 rebounds against Oklahoma and 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks against Rice. NBA scout: "Outside shooting touch, fluidity, and two-way impact."

Teams listed

12) McNeese
13) East Texas A&M

RV) Stephen F. Austin https://t.co/Vm02KQDh6D

Understandable that SFA is not listed yet. Basically a new team and wins over non D1 teams at this point. Hopefully that will change soon.

If you want to take a look at this guy, ETAM is playing this morning (Nov. 11) @10:30 a.m. vs. Fairleigh Dickinson on ESPN+. FDU is not good, having been blown out this year by 95 by Illinois and by 34 by Butler.

After watching the first half of this boring game, here are my thoughts about Diakite and ETAM... Diakate is pretty good, but no great shakes. Long, fluid, and moves well. He spent almost the whole first half planted beyond the arc at the top of the key. He jacked up many threes from there and made two. I don't remember him ever driving to the hoop or shooting from near the hoop. Our players are much more athletic than ETAM's. Their PG is nothing. Out guards will eat him up. The other player from France hit three treys, so he seemed to be the only other ETAM player with skill. It could change in the second half, but so far FDU is playing ETAM almost even (37-31 at the break), and remember that FDU is not a good team.

I watched most of the ETAM game. The lions looked real good the first few minutes of the game. After that not so much. They look like an average team. They are not on the same playing level as SFA or McNeese.

Well, I think he's already 20 years old with international experience, so he'll have those two things working for him.

He reminds me a bit like Tom Walkup.

Bringing this one back up. This guy was a good find.
