I noticed that 5 SB teams are still playing bball.
Troy - NCAA
UTA - NIT
Ga State - CollegeInsider.com
Ga Southern and Coastal - CBI
My question is why Coastal was picked over Ark St and Louisiana, who both finished higher in the conference. Coastal was our conference 8 seed and has a 16-17 record. Maybe it was schedule strength among other factors.
It's also noteworthy (and sort of depressing) that Furman, UNCA, UNCG, Samford, Campbell, and Liberty are still playing bball. Wes Miller did a heck of a job at UNCG this year, as well as Medved at Furman.

Sort of depressing? Name me one thing about our basketball program that isn't depressing. Disclaimer: I love college basketball and wish we had a quality program. Just aggravated right now with it all.

I believe both schools declined. I know StAte did because their coach took another job.app97 wrote:I noticed that 5 SB teams are still playing bball.

Re: Sun Belt teams in post-season tourneys
Depending on your POV, it's either better or worse than you thought. The Fun Belt now has six (6) men 's teams in post-season action. Texas State (20-13) will host the Lamar Cardinals in the CollegeInsiders.com tourney Thurs. evening in San Marcos.app97 wrote:I noticed that 5 SB teams are still playing bball.

Re: Sun Belt teams in post-season tourneys
Are the CI.com and CBI pay to play? If so, ULL may have passed over the cost, whereas CCU was all in $ be damned.hapapp wrote:I believe both schools declined. I know StAte did because their coach took another job.app97 wrote:I noticed that 5 SB teams are still playing bball.
