Nobody can win on the road in the WAC, better take care of business at home.

Only GCU and SFA have winning records on the road. UTA and SUU haven't won a game on the road this season while 4 other WAC teams have only won once on the road.

I think our collective NET ranking is 14. Sure seems a little low.

It is lower than last year. We're probably going to remain in 14th this year now that conference is in full blast. Some good OOC wins this season, but definitely bad losses too. Our MTSU loss…

Down goes GCU!! Seattle U erases a late 7 point deficit with a 19-5 run to close the game and win 86-79

---

GCU was projected for a 10/11 seed before this game which would absolutely be the highest seed for a conference SFA has been in for many many years. However, the Seattle loss probably is pushing them down. If they have a loss to SFA, they will be solidly in the 12 seed area.

No fooling anyone. The WAC is still a one bid league. Even if GCU runs the league from here and loses in the WAC finals, only the champ goes to the tournament.

Fair point. Though I'm not sure MBB is as enlightened as WVB.

I have to hand it to Tarleton. They are obviously better than I first thought. Coach should be coach of the year.

Some coaches just have the IT factor.

Billy Gillispie is that kind of coach, he was multiple times high school coach of the year, took UTEP and Texas A&M to places they have never been before in basketball, won at Kentucky but not enough for the boosters, had set backs with personal and health issues that he had to deal with.

Made a nice comeback at Ranger taking them to the NJCAA National Championship Game.

2023-24: 20-7; 13-3 (2nd Place in the WAC) riding a 8-game win streak (First 20 win season for Tarleton in Div. I)

From where did you get your info, 93?

Looks like Zoe, the GCU player, and the lady from SUU are the best of the bunch. The SUU lady missed a year, so injury redshirt year maybe?

I had a post about Tomeika and Naudia in another thread...forgot about this one! Both students had announced it on Twitter/X as well. I think Naudia is tired of losing in the conference tournament LOL

It has started.

SFA's Atalia Ballesteros has entered the portal.

See where GCU's Ray Harrison is in the portal. Big holes to fill there

---

Ray is now back at GCU. Pay raise?

Thing's pretty quiet around the WAC. Seattle has 2 commits and UTA has one. That's all I've seen. There may be more.

There are 2,721 players currently in the transfer portal.

D-1: 1,744
D-2: 977

We only need 7 of them to finish out our Elite 8 roster. Sounds easy enough.

Guess if you can’t beat’em, join’em as All-WAC Freshman G Makaih Williams moves from UT Arlington to GCU. https://t.co/zHzdzWJ7uj

GCU loading up again.

Yeah. They are reloading. Looks like they will be real solid. CBU is loading up also.

TP Commit: Central Oklahoma transfer Jaden Wells has committed to UTA.

with seven spots to fill there should be something soon?

I keep thinking they will be making a few moves but nothing yet. Maybe they will handle the portal signings like they do on releasing the schedule. They will wait till the last day and see what's leftover and will sign the leftovers.

There is just no room for error this year. Have to bring in a number of studs that will contribute immediately. Im hoping the sign that kid out of Barton College. Lajae Jones.
