Louisiana Hosts Texas State In Blackout Game

That's assuming we make it

If you don't make the tournament, then you can't lose in it.

Pretty smart huh.

The level where winning 27 games is not enough to sniff a NCAA without a tournament championship

And a 6th place team goes dancing

Well, a 6th place team doesn't exactly wow young recruits either

nor does a regular-season champion either apparently

It's really the only thing that matters...need people seeing our name when filling out their brackets.

Regular season wins don't matter at this level

Well they do when trying to even qualify to play those three magical, only important games in March.

Where games are played is always changing ...

Regular season wins matter a great deal if you hope to have any semblance of a crowd at (any sport) a home post season game.

Fan interest is not a spigot.

The difference of average attendance of 19 win team vs a 27 win team was........ 58 people.

2013 vs 2014 .. 1,230 people now tell me again why regular-season games matter

26 wins against top 100 NET teams would get us in the tournament. But we don’t play any really good teams and when we do, we lose.

I miss the days of Jessie Evans.

One thing I’ll give to this current team is even with the shortcomings, they don’t quit. I admire that effort. Hopefully, we can come back with a full cupboard next year to where we have 5 good starters and a bench deep enough to compete. And by compete, I mean top 4 in conference with a postseason push. This year, it’s safe to say that ain’t happening.

But with that being said, what would your expectations be for next season with a full healthy roster?

The competitive guidelines stated in your post are reasonable expectations with a healthy roster.

Full roster and new young coach Id expect a much better season and crowds.

Agreed. If we finish 5th or below or become a “1 and done” in the conference tournament next season with a healthy roster (and I’m not talking 1 guy going down as a scapegoat), it’s safe to say the admin will have some tough decisions to make.

58 people matter.

By 2121 we can have an extra 5,858 people in the stands.
