This is an embarrassment and I will go on the record that we will not win the tournament since we can't:

1.) play on the road against even the poorest SBC teams

2.)play defense

FAU is the current best team in the Sunbelt and while we may beat them at home I can't see us beating them outside of home court.

You would expect more out of this veteran team on the road, but I still think we have a more than even chance of pulling off the tourney championship at a neutral site. On the other hand, an injury to just one of our top 7 players could make things difficult.

I really don't look at this game as entirely representative of how we should expect to play come tourney time. We were a little off, and LaLa was on. Bad nights happen.

Agreed. RPI doesn't mean crap when you are sitting at home in March.

I am extremely disappointed with this team. The bad road losses keep piling up. First Troy, and now ULL. If we even make it to the NCAA tourney, which I thought was a given at the start of the season, we will be a 15 or 16 seed with little or no chance of winning a road game against some of the nation's fiercest competition (#1 - #3 seed). I'm sorry, but if we can't win the easy ones on the road against a weak, weak SBC this season, I cannot see us winning against top competition. Hopefully I am proven wrong.

Losses like these mean that we could get a 16 seed if we did make the NCAA's.

I still think we'd be a 15. But, if we are a 16.....then we more than likely would have to play a play-in game....and what a buzzkill that would be.

A 15 seed is much better than a 16 seed, but IF somehow we do get placed as a 16 seed, we may actually want to be in the play in game. That way at least we have a chance to get an "NCAA tournament win," and a chance to get a victory on national TV when no other games are going on. The play-in games do count as tourney wins for some reason.

What is important now is that we make the NCAA tournament. We may not get a good seed, but getting there would be a step in the right direction, at least with consistency. We need our name out there even if a little "15" is by it. Once you get there absolutely anything can happen.

Congrats and good post. Took quite a few years before Gonzaga started earning higher seeds.

Aren't a lot of you optimistic worrying about what seed, there is a little matter of a tournament to win first. This team is going to have to play a lot better than currently, to even get a bye. Without a bye, they have little chance to win the tournament. Even with a bye, it is going to be far from easy.

---We need to win games that we are expected to win...period..... and do well or break even in games that are are very competitive.

---We also need to do well enough to get away from a 15th or 16th seed... if we make the tournament.

Bold.

It's about time someone told it like it is.

If we play really well the rest of the year, then win the SBC tourney (which is the only way we can get into the NCAA tourney) I wonder if the NCAA would think about bumping us up to a 14 seed so we can play in Tulsa. I know last year there was a lot of talk about the NCAA sometimes moving teams up and down if the location makes more sense. I know that's a long way off though.

I came on this thread looking for your apologist explanation about why we shouldn't worry about this great team. Is it in another thread?

I'm worried.

Basketball would be so much easier if it weren't for having to actually go out and beat the other teams. Many times, they want to win the game, too.

Either we'll get a bye in Hot Springs, or we won't. Either we'll win the tournament, or we won't. Just like two days ago, they're both still possibilities.

Anyone who wants to flip out and overreact, I'm not really bothering to read. Bad loss to a bad team. And we play another game tomorrow. Looking forward to that one.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
