Jay I was speaking more to the number of teams they are fielding. I.E. Men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball etc. I am almost positive they are below what the S-BC bylaws says is the number of teams that a university must have to be in the S-BC. Since I hate when people post and do not back it up with the facts or look for someone else to do the research for them, I will look it up myself and get back to you.
Tech@Ruston finishes their season at 25-8 tonight and will not be in the relevant tournament.
Tech has not been in the tourney since 1991. Winning CUSA regular season gets you same thing winning SBC regular season or SLC regular season at this stage, a No. 1 seed in your tourney and a trip to the NIT when you are knocked out. I don't know if there is a southern mid major league in which that is not the case. Murray State won over 25 this year and probably won't be dancing.
I think going to the NCAA tournament is only one part of the equation. An automatic bid simply means you outlasted your peers. The worst qualifier goes to the tournament.
It is a good thing to outlasted our peers on several occasions. But that is all it means. We have never gone as a bad qualifier so that is nice.
I am thrilled they haven't gone.
So they lost. Good. Did not see that post.
One day i hope our basketball team can get back to being as good as in the 70's.
