Georgia State has been in the Sun Belt 4 years. They have been top 3 in 3 of those years, regular season champs twice and tournament champs once.
Georgia Southern has finished in the top 3 in 2 of its 3 years in the SBC.
ULM has finished 2nd twice in the last 3 years. [Admittedly they have been horrible otherwise] We have not finished that high in over 10 years.
I certainly do not think it is unreasonable to expect us to be at least as good as those teams.
