I haven't seen any of the workouts, and I won't make a prediction until after the Alumni game, but I've now heard from several sources that we look better than last year. The problem is that there seems to be a rapid improvement in all the teams because the talent pool keeps getting better.

Looking at our schedule, Notre Dame (5), SMU (34), Denver (48), and Rice (60) had nationally ranked recruiting classes. (285 Div 1 schools) TSU's class was ranked 22 in the central region; I don't think any of our other opponents had ranked classes.

Overall, Notre Dame is 16th, SMU is 24th, and Denver is 25th nationally. Only beating ND would be considered a big upset. We beat SMU in the spring, and we play Denver here.

I think that the Sunbelt race will be a three-way contest with UNT, Denver, and Western KY in the top three slots, but I don't know the order. USA and FIU will be tough, and since we play FIU, there they could upset us. It's going to be a tough year, but by playing some nationally ranked schools, we have the opportunity to earn an invite to the NCAA tourney even if we don't win one in the Sunbelt tourney.

      South Alabama has NIT invite rescinded: 'Unacceptable'

      It's definitely a black eye for the NIT.

      Yes, college men's basketball does have a concept similar to a "redshirt," where players can sit out a season to retain eligibility, but it's not as flexible as in football. Here's a breakdown of the redshirt concept in college basketball: Not an Official NCAA Term: While the term "redshirt" is commonly used, it's not an official term used by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Retaining Eligibility: A redshirt season allows a player to sit out a season and still maintain their four-year eligibility for future seasons. No Game Participation: In college basketball, a player cannot participate in any game (regular season or postseason) and still be eligible for a redshirt. Medical Redshirt: There is a medical redshirt option, where a player can be granted an extra year of eligibility if they suffer a season-ending injury or illness before the midpoint of the season.

      2025 WNIT

      I see Rutgers in this (11-19, eyeroll), but no other P4 schools. Is this beneath them to play in this Tournament? 7 P4 schools are in the WBIT (chance for a $1 million prize)... https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaw/2025/03/17/wbit-2025-schedule-bracket-womens-tournament/82502911007/

      Crown vs NIT

      In trying to invent more content and opportunity these media/corporate ideas have degraded history to an extent. The NIT used to be special, and the Finals in a special place, MSG. Now it's watered down because of all the competing tournaments. Participation trophies for everyone!

      Layne Taylor on the move

      Not sure Ross would play him being a freshman and all.
