ACU is clearly the odds on favorite to win the SLC this year and watching them play TTU last night makes me think we better learn to shoot the 3 and stop turning the ball over if we want to beat ACU.

The ladies might be a pretty special group. ASU is a pretty good squad. Auburn was no slouch.
How to automatically get the toughest SOS in the SLC.
So I have not heard anything about Sam or Lamar like we did with SFA. Does this mean that SFA is is leading the negotiations for these 3 public schools?
ACU is private so they can do what they do without any public comment until they are done with their negotiations.

1-9 Northwestern State scored 61 points in the second half of tonight's game with Gonzaga,. NSU had the 251st -ranked offense in the nation coming into the game. It was the most points scored in a half against Gonzaga since 2010.
NSU trailed 43-17 at the half and eventually lost 95-78. It was the second game between the two teams in two nights. NSU had lost 95-57 on Monday night.

The boys from NWST figured something out.
ULM lost to La Tech last night 68-57. ULM has lost three straight and has not come close to winning since their head-scratcher over SFA.

What if our loss to ULM is NOT a head scratcher but in fact we have much work to do?

I have to think that we're much better than what we saw at ULM. I watched highlights of the Fort Hayes State vs. Kansas State game on December 8, and it was almost a mirror image of our game vs. ULM. Fort Hayes was lights out from beyond the arc, just like ULM was. I am also reminded of a game we played in Conway against UCA three years ago. UCA was uncanny beyond the arc and beat us by 8. We smashed them twice by 30 later that season.
But we do have work to do, primarily in the backcourt. Here's hoping that Posey can give us a shot in the arm on fixing that problem.

"Abilene and Stephen F. Austin look like the class of the Southland this year. Abilene played it's best game closer than SFA"
"I'm not devoid of all hope. If Abilene can take good lessons from the two high-major tilts it has before conference play, I think I feel pretty good about taking the Wildcats over the Lumberjacks in the regular season (hides from SFA fans)."

Frankly making top 150 in NET is going to be brutal unless we win every game by double digits. Getting higher than a 15 seed (if we make it past ACU) is going to be tough.
Most of those formulas baffle me. I finally think I have RPI figured out and then they change it to NET ???? LOL.

I don't 100% know what it is, but my assumption is that it will be viewed as both good and bad if I'm piecing things together correctly. Again, just an assumption.cboothe09 said:

I don't know either, but the code does not appear to be too hard to break.PurpleOut said:I don't 100% know what it is, but my assumption is that it will be viewed as both good and bad if I'm piecing things together correctly. Again, just an assumption.cboothe09 said:

We've gotta get Ryan Ivey a burner on here.
Is the implication that we're going to self impose this year? If it's something else than I guess I'm too dense to figure it out.

I'm down with that and it makes the most sense with Covid and players having an extra year of eligibility.
Two things: I could be wrong but I don't see any of our seniors returning which probably means minimal effect of the eligibility on any of our players.
It disheartens me that Katfans has inside info from our athletic department and posts it before it comes to us.

It's more than likely not from OUR athletic department, for what it's worth.
There are things in general that I don't feel sites, Twitter accounts, media members, recruiting gurus, etc should be reporting and digging into. The Matt Brown guy for example. Ok cool yeah we all like to hear new info or whatever, but do you really need to contact schools or try to dig up correspondence before everything has been settled? Just let it happen sometimes. Just more hassle for the athletic directors and everyone actually trying to get stuff done. Sorry kind of a rant there.

ACU was outscored by HBU 37-28 in the second half and barely escaped 66-63.
We have to apply to the NCAA to move the post season ban from next season to this season. They approved delaying it a year. They have to approve moving it back.nacluth said:

Agree. There was a league meeting the last two days. "It" could have come from anyone. That meeting should have been interesting.PurpleOut said:

There are months to go, but I am hearing most seniors are leaning to coming back.nacluth said:
