I would love the Jacks to play a Mike Izzo team.

Wow, that's a lot of high profile pay day games.

Which one are the Huskies sneaking away with?

None of the above. VaTech would be their best chance IMO.

None of the above. HBU's coach has bitten off of more than he (they) can chew. HBU lost most of their scoring from last season and will be in a rebuilding year.

I'm not sure they're going so much for wins as they are for balancing the budget a bit.

ACU just got a familiar face...

Congrats to Antonio! Soon ACU's staff will be all Lumberjacks. Am I wrong (didn't see it in the write up), but I thought he played a little European ball after graduating? Maybe not there, but some semi-pro ball somewhere.

We talk about SFA not getting quality division 1 teams to come to Nac, but it is a SLC problem and understandably so, but we do better than others in the conference.

Only notable home games for SLC teams.

Rice @ Northwestern State
Loyola Marymount @ UIW
North Dakota State @ SFA
UL Lafayette @ Nicholls
ULM @ SFA
Texas State @ Houston Baptist
Idaho @ Nicholls
Rice @ SFA
Texas State @ ACU

A&M-CC lost to TAMU-Kingsville 82-80 last week in a scrimmage. Islanders up 63-62 with 1:31 remaining

They are not the same team without Amin in the lineup.

3-pointer by Our Lady of the Lake with four seconds left! OLOTL up 68-67! WOW!

A&M-CC with the buzzer beater. They survive 69-68

Time expired and my ticker said Lady of the Lake won...then not. Buzzer beater to beat an NAIA school.

His violation was that he might get too many games right away that could jeopardize another redshirt.

Today's Southland Results:
Our Lady of the Lake 68 @ A&M-CC 69
Randall University 68 @ Abilene Christian 86
Northwestern State 59 @ Texas 105
Nicholls 111 @ UT Rio Grand Valley 106
Southwestern 71 @ Incarnate Word 87
McNeese 53 @ Houston 81
Houston Baptist 55 @ Providence 84
New Orleans 61 @ St. Johns 77
Lamar 74 @ Tulsa 67
Central Arkansas 66 @ Baylor 107
Centenary 67 @ Southeastern Louisiana 99

Quick takes:
A&M Corpus is not the same team as they were last year. They struggled without Thomas last year, and they seem to be worse this year.
No Jalen West against Texas. Texas is good. Northwestern State did not look good.
Nicholls?!?! Really? That could be an interesting situation in Thibadeaux.
Big win for Lamar. Kind of validating some of that preseason hype.

I know Texas was playing Northwestern, but man did they look good. I'm pretty certain that Bamba could block anybody in Div 1 while standing flat footed.

Crazy Le Tourneau beat NWST by 15....... that sounds like 3 point shooting Bombers.

Looks like Thursday's showdown against the Yellowjackets has become "Must See".

In all actuality, playing back-to-back nights could keep that game a little closer than we would like. I think we win comfortably, but I think LETU could hang around for a little bit...

Not a good luck for the southland, but after adding IWU & HBU, not sure there's much room for complaint on conference prestige.

It appears that they even have to buy their own shoes....

18 Players?

Yeah, during the Longwood game, they said they had 18 players on the roster too. I could understand for D3 but D1?
