I Don't know a whole lot about college basketball, but what would it take for us to get into the NCAA tournament? Is it an at large bid decided by the NCAA? Do we have to win the sunbelt to be heavily considered?

The SBC gets one automatic birth to the NCAA tournament.... the winner of the SBC tourny goes. We can also get invites... last year Western Kentucky got invited to the NIT, though I don't know if the SBC has ever had NCAA invites.

before Cinn and Lou left the sunbelt both were in the NCAAs

Cincy and Louisville were never in the Sunbelt. They were paired with North Texas in the Missouri Valley Conference back in the 60's and early 70's before NT went Independent in hopes of joining the SWC.

I don't know if the SBC has ever had two reps in the NCAA's.

I guarantee if we do not win conference we do not see this team in the NCAA Tournament....

We could win and out and blow the tourney and POOOOOSSSSIBLY see a low rank in the NIT...

Not to be a downer but the comp in the Sun Belt won't get us a bid in the N-C-DUBS

We had 4 once.

Off the SBC website.

1986 - Four Sun Belt Conference men’s teams - Alabama-Birmingham, Jacksonville, Old Dominion and Western Kentucky - reached the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Three schools, ODU, WKU and UAB each won their first round games, and Old Dominion’s win over West Virginia marked its first ever NCAA Division I-A Tournament win.

That's possible, but I doubt that there has ever been a two loss team that failed to make the tourney. No way a two loss team wouldn't make the NIT.

We would be guarunteed an NIT bid if we won the regular season conference championship and lost in the tourney new rule for the NIT since the NCAA took over

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Unless you only care about bigger donors and have contracts that get extended for staying in budget, like RV had. The sad thing about attendance is that we even have an issue with it. A school this big with this large of an alumni base, in a giant metro area and we can’t sell out the 31k seat football stadium even one time EVER and the 10k seat Super Pit hasn’t seen a crowd of close to capacity in decades. But as someone said, it’s not like the Murchison Center is ever filled to capacity or the Art Department can’t keeP people from seeing an art exhibit or dance performance because too many people are attending. Literally, nobody cares about ANYTHING the university sponsors in any decent number. It’s like the complete 180 degree opposite of A&M, where the brain washing is so strong that these people only wear maroon and khaki and drive maroon cars.

      AAC Tourney Prediction

      The NIT isn't anything close to being the HOD Bowl. I don't think people realize how tough it even is to get into the NIT. There are over 350 D1 schools. You basically have to be in the top quarter to make it into either tournmnent. There are like 40 Bowl games...over 60% the schools that play DI football make one. Making the NIT is like...making the Gator Bowl or something. If somehow we ended up in the Gator Bowl that'd be the biggest deal the football team had ever accomplished.

      Miss Cherie Spencer

      As they say in the business, "We got a Steal"! Young lady looks like a potential WNBA pick. Hope all goes well for her at UNT first. I think her HS is in a lower classification because her game is more advanced than her competition (most games). Just finished watching a game against Benton, LA on Feb. 20, 2025. (NFHS Network) Looked to have scored about 30. Hope it doesn't hurt her average too much. #2 Ranked 2025 recruit in the state. https://allstatesugarbowl.org/news/2025/2/5/spencer-AOM.aspx https://www.lgrbasketball.com/2025-rankings Go Mean Green

      Women’s Hoops Begins AAC Tournament Monday Night Against ECU

      Good win, but if I were Burton, I would have us in the gym tonight shooting free throws until our arms fell off. Should have beat them by 20.

      AAC Tourney Prediction

      I wouldn't be surprised if one of those 5-8 teams makes a run. UNT has been hot and cold, but they just had a good look at Temple, so they should have a good game plan going into their first game assuming its against Temple. The possible match up between UAB/UNT could almost be a toss up, UAB plays later Thursday night and that could be important. The program need to be in the best tournament available to them. Because this team will most likely need to do some major recruiting again this off season.
