MBB Final: Louisiana 80, Texas State 55

No offense, but you guys are basing your comments on old SWT standards. TX State has same admission standards as aTm. No longer easy to get into.

Correct. Lannister is 15 years behind the times.

... and if you are part of the Texas homeschool community, it is practically impossible to gain admission to the University of Texas (also difficult for Texas A&M) given that the Top 7% (now 7%) auto-admittance requirement (public high schools) soaks up nearly all of the admission spots. My children will have a better chance of gaining admission to Rice. The most likely route for in-state private school students (homeschooling is considered a private school) to the university of Texas is to transfer in after your freshman year.

The whole admission process sucks. Kids transfer their senior year of HS to poorer schools to make the top7%. At my kids school if you make a B you are out of contention for top 7. I believe UT and aTm’s admission standards are a boon for TX St, UH, LSU and the like.

Agreed. Texas is losing some good students due to the admissions process ... and the next tier of schools benefit. My children also have a better chance of gaining admission by moving out of state and applying to UT as out of state residents ... though this means that you also pay out of state tuition.

Justin Miller's statline is ridiculous based on 16 minutes of playtime. Whenever Marquetti scores in double digits this team is almost unbeatable. My only gripe is that Stroman needs to play smart and stop fouling so much. UL's biggest weakness is a lack of a backup PG.

That's because they won't play the backup that they have!

[Crawfish]

That's because they won't play the backup that they have!

And who might that be?

[CRAWFISH61]

Phard317 could be talking about Hardy.

I was just thinking, man I sure hope someone starts sowing dissention in our 17-3 basketball team. That’s would be sweet.

PJ Hardy is a pg not a 2!

Correct. Lannister is 15 years behind the times.

Just going off what my coworkers were telling me..

[Hudsheen#Fired]

PJ Hardy is a pg not a 2!

How is it going PJ?

[phard317]

Not PJ. I'm his biggest fan though.

[Cajunsmike]

Not PJ. I'm his biggest fan though.

I bet PJ would do fine were he to play more. It's just that it is tough to get time when a guy who started at times in the SEC leads the team. He just needs to continue to work hard so he will be prepared when his time comes. I do agree that we don't need to disrupt chemistry on this team. I trust PJ (or Davis and Stalcup for that matter) has no plans of doing so. It has to be difficult on those guys considering they all played more a year ago. As long as they keep supporting all their teammates good things will continue to happen and they will reap the rewards as well.
