Toledo lost to Kent State in the quarterfinals.

Nine #1 seeds have lost to date.

Bickerstaff and Edwards should transfer to App. You know the saying, “if you can’t beat them, join them”

Apparently JMU doesn’t need to beat us. Doubt they’d trade places right now.

Unfortunately, it appears that may well be the case… that we will not host. I read one article today, that had us in the last four for the NIT, which would not be hosting. Much of the new changes that the NCAA has made, we’ll just have to see how it plays out. It certainly looks like this years NIT...

Two more #1 seeds lost today…Toledo and Richmond

If NIT calls, how about hosting vs VA Tech?

Given the way I read the new NIT guidelines, they might have a better chance of hosting us.

I was curious when exactly they started to rise. The fact it did rise and with all we did is why I hope we can retain Kerns. I would love to see what we would do next year with most of the team back along with the coaches and some of these newcomers they have signed/committed. Really hope Huntley c...

Next Saturday’s practice, the last one of the spring is open to spectators as part of the TIGMA NIL event.

I understand there are opportunities to interact with players post practice and that there are some nice giveaways.

Just based on the crowds I saw on TV I would have guessed the order was JMU, App and then ODU and Marshall just behind us. I would be curious to see the numbers on the entire season. In all games we fall to 5th behind So Miss. Sorry, didn't see the previous post before I posted. Keep in mind outsid...

True. JMU and App are about the 2 best home attendance this year for their basketball teams. Marshall and ODU draw well. And let’s not kid ourselves, we are in no position to judge attendance of other schools in basketball. A couple good home gates doesn’t erase years of poor attendance numbers. Th...

I did a quick and dirty calculation and Atlanta is pretty much the geographic center of the Sun Belt Conference. Based on that alone, it seems the logical place to put the tournament. Birmingham is more central than Atlanta. But it doesn't really matter. Sun Belt schools don't really attend their o...

While Texas State is 8-8 and have lost like 5 of their last 6, the SOS is 115 with 5 Quad 1 opponents. Our SOS is 227 with only one Quad 1 game and we know how that turned out. Their opponents are a combined 126-106 vs. ours at 88-104. This weekend should give us a good idea of where we stand.

I see that Lunardi has JMU as a 11th seed.

Personally, I think ATL is best option..so many flight options. You do not have to play in Hawks arena or ga state. There are other arenas in that city Need to make it easy as possible for flights. Not sure Gville has as many. I checked on flights from BWI to Pensacola in case I flew down for final...

I would say the success of our basketball team this year was due in part to NIL money.

Greenville, SC. Would be great place for the tourney. On I-85 for easy access from north or south. Great town to visit! I was going to say that, though I'm not a fan of the arena there. Not that that should make any difference about finding an ideal location. I've been to two NCAA first and second ...

What does this mean for the other collective? Does it still exist? Are there competing collectives now? Both exist…serving different approaches and donor types. Gotcha. That seems... inefficient? But I don't have any money to give anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me. The latest NIL endeavor i...

JMU was lights out at 62% FG and 11-19 behind the arc.

Definitely the best team in Pensacola.

Another benefit of JMU winning is that we still get to say we own most of their losses in football and basketball this year (3 of 5)

I’m guessing they are willing to make that trade. If they go dancing I doubt saying that to them will bother them at all. I dare say we’d make the same trade.
