MBB Final: Louisiana 83, Arkansas State 77

I’d prefer to think our defense stepped up. I know Bobby has fooled me before like the year he only lost one SBC game in the regular season only so lose to , that year, God awful LilRock because Stove was out.

Regardless I’m bummed that we didn’t play a God awful LilRock yesterday.

That's another example of why college basketball is so bad. 6 for 36. Why are those guys even on the floor?

Marquise Eaton has killed us in the past. He's an all-conference guy. He was 1-11 from the field. Desi Sills is a transfer from Arkansas (from Jonesboro) who played a LOT for the Razorbacks. We held him to three field goals.

Sometimes our guys deserve a little credit for playing defense.

Jay, with Marlin the coach, no one gets credit around here.

We deserve some credit for some defense but we were caught chasing for a while in that game and they just missed shots. Sometimes that is what you need to win games, especially without your best player. And Desi Sills is not a good shooter. He is like 20% from 3.

Our defense was good. I was disappointed that everyone got playing time except Carter Domingue. He got some big rebounds and gave some good minutes when we were shorthanded last week.

Is basketball similar to football where teams unable to play due to Covid have to forfeit those games?

He didn't shoot a lot of 3's. He's 47% overall.

Games canceled due to Covid are simply not used in the standings. Original plan was to have forfeits involved. That was scrapped when case count rose rapidly.

There’s got to be a way that the SBC is going to seed teams that have the same number of cancelled games. I suspect if you’re the canceler your seed is worse than the victim team. It could get very nutty if you more teams with the same issues in a round robin type canceler victim.

The way I read the statement from the Sunbelt is the threshold is playing 80% of games scheduled, which would mean the 4th cancelled game takes you below the threshold. Teams above the threshold would be seeded by winning % and then teams below the threshold would seeded below them based on winning %. If someone knows more feel free to correct me. Of course this may be soon revised because as of now Texas St. and Georgia St are already on the cusp of falling below with 1 more cancellation.
