Many, including me, were disappointed when Kaspar left because we did not think SFA could do better. Kaspar did a great job of turning the program around, but it took someone new and to move it to the next level. I was wrong.

I'm with you on that. I remember when I first read that Kaspar was leaving. My heart sank and I was afraid we would go back to the kinds of teams that played when I was at SFA many years ago. Women were incredible and the men couldn't win games. Against anyone. I was very pleasantly surprised when Underwood did his thing here, and to be honest, I'm even more excited with Coach Keller. If he is able to recruit the kind of players SFA is getting, you KNOW there is something special about that man that makes these guys want to play for him. I'm just about holding my breath waiting for bb to start. Pumped would be an understatement for me.SFAJack_76 said:

Veal is just fun to watch, when he plays anyone but us.
Awards seem super fair, but I'd have put TJ a bit higher. Sure, he's probably not going to wow you with incredible athleticism night in and night out, but the dude's a technician and the best player at his spot in the league IMO.

Think I might do that Twitter Q&A next week.
He played tonight against LSU.Pilotgirl said:
Looks like SLU lost one of their tall players, Starwood, who was a redshirt last year. Don't know what happened or where he went....

Maybe it was another one...did you guys lose a player that was a redshirt?
Pretty sweet! That had to be a fun performance. I'm glad he was put in against LSU and not us...slulionsfan said:
Lions played bad and took it on the chin vs an extremely talented LSU team, but a star was born. We were planning to redshirt true freshman Parker Edwards, but with about 10 minutes to go in the second half, Jay Ladner decided to put him in ... rest is history (25 points in a seven minute span):

I agree. And ACU has an extremely favorable schedule to get to 20 wins. Not saying it's easy, but there are no major games other than Texas Tech.Wildcat1997 said:
I think ACU will have a great year this season. This team is talented and very importantly has so much experience playing together. The rotation is made up of mostly Juniors and Seniors that have played together for 3-4 years. I don't know the other teams rosters super well but ACU might be the most experienced team in the league. Plus I also like the Freshman that have been brought in. I'm predicting 20+ wins and challenging (but probably not winning) the conference title.

Nicholls didnt let up and hung with Lousiville. Jeremiah Jefferson was insanely hot in the second half. Pretty much the reason Nicholls was keeping pace.
Nicholls likes to put four guys behind the arc and either throw up a three or drive. They hit a lot tonight.
Defensively they still aren't good. They foul a lot and send opponents to the free throw line often. Louisville was 42-55 from the free throw line. Yes. They shot 55 free throws. In regulation. Clean that up and they are a VERY good team, but that's their style so I dont expect it to change.
I was a basketball official for two decades and I called a few high school games like that. In each case, the coaches involved (always the losing coach) thought we called a horrible game. Truth was, their players played horrible defense, but the coaches couldn't see it (couldn't see the forest for the trees), did nothing during the game to correct it, or wouldn't admit it.TallTexan said:cboothe09 said:

55.... Did you say 55?
