They punched their ticket because the SLC is a horrible basketball conference. With the level of talent in the SLC, our teams would have made the NCAAs 9/10 years.
So good for them, but Marlin - the guy everyone thinks sucks - has consistently put better teams than this on the floor. They ain’t that special.
They are a projected 12 seed Marlings highest was 14.

It shows how much Marlin ball I've watched in the last few years.

You haven't missed anything. Unless you like watching grass grow.

*its crazy that i have to put this disclaimer out there -because anything remotely not agreeing with the pitch forks automatically is seen as supporting the admin - we need to schedule better. with that said, marlin would be crucified if he scheduled the way the pokes did in non conference this year.

Marlins non conference schedule DOES suck. You think his non conf scheduling is good???

if someone donates $500k to our basketball program NIL fund we too could win our conference like Wade.

They have been impressive as their guard play has been ridiculously good along with how physical their inside guys are.
Having said all that, they lost to slu and needed a late 3 to beat Lamar. I think they were lucky to beat us as well.
If they played our schedule do you think they would be 30-3? I don’t. App and JMU would give them fits. Usm is a different team at home. I’m not saying the sun belt is a juggernaut but they wouldn’t run roughshod through the belt like they did through the southland.
It’ll be interesting to see if they can sustain their success once wade bolts. I would keep an eye on the Louisville job.
Youre right on Latech my bad..

It's my understanding that less than a year ago UL had a golden opportunity for all 3 major men's sports. Basically turned the individual away in a meeting. The guy had an open checkbook. Wanted a presence here. Again, how dare we be successful.

They’re special enough to beat Michigan, VCU, and UAB. You think our team could have done that? I don’t. They also beat us and had the city of Lake Charles on edge while we can hear crickets in the Cajundome because almost the entire fan base has checked out at this point.
