MBB OT Final : Louisiana 76, SMU 72

A few years back SFA was a 12 seed out of the SLC. They did win the tournament, but a 12 seed is an at large seeding. If they lost in the finals and properly seeded they might have been a 13 seed at large. Let’s focus on Drake, and every game going forward.

The SFA 2014-2015 team was a 12 seed--they only had 1 notable OOC win (they beat Memphis by 2--Memphis was 18-14 that year)--other OOC wins included Mississippi College, Prairie View AM, Austin Peay, Long Beach State, Ouachita Baptist, North Texas, Texas State, Ark Tech, Cal State Northridge--they lost 4 games--Northern Iowa, Xavier, Baylor, Texas AM Corpus Christi

Well that would be one of Marty’s teams. If so he also won one in the dance.

The 89-90 team did not make post season play. They won the Kentucky tournament but things went south in conference play. UNO’s habit of grabbing shooters trying to get to their spot was effective in the first conference game. Other teams in the league picked up on that and we finished in the middle of the pack. The 92 and 94 teams went to the dance under Marty Fletcher. 92 bunch beat Oklahoma in first round. As far as this year goes, these tight games we are playing against other quality mid majors is helping prepare for conference play.

So we should not care about any of these games?

I think everyone realizes that we still need to win the SBC. But winning as many games in the regular season does a few things for us. #1. Will help us improve whatever seed we might get in the NCAA’s and B. Improve our chances at a NIT bid. And 3. It makes the season allot more fun when you are 25+ wins vs.20+ losses. And D. Allows us to complain about something else.

And it takes consistency to win the regular season title as well as lots of character. Winning a regular season title is very beneficial for developing the team itself along with building expectations for the program. This should be our first goal. Second should be to win the SBC tournament.

Okay that wasn’t the OU victories regular and post season. Yeah I recall the zebras allowing mayhem on our players to support Floyd ball.

And this fine human being made room for Floyd. Old Benny had thin skin.

Last year we started Greg Williams JR at point early in year. Then we went to undersized Trajan Wesley. Our run in the tournament occurred with Michael Thomas playing more. This season we have decided to go with whoever is more effective between Fulks and Thomas depending on matchups. Much more stable situation than a year ago leading to fewer turnovers. By the way, below 12 is our goal. Last night we had only four in second half and OT. Winning basketball there.

If we are meeting our goal now (18 assists to 12 turnovers) then
the goal needs to move. Give them something to strive for
20 assists and only 10 turnovers.

Asking because I don’t know. Is a 2 to 1 ratio considered good?

I don't know. It is better than 3 to 2.

Trick question

It is good for high school.

What is a decent assist-to-turnover ratio in college basketball?
According to Boyle, point guards should strive for a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Boyle observed, “If you accomplish that, you’re playing at a top level.” “However, if it’s bad, you’re putting the team in jeopardy. “It basically comes down to a player making good decisions on the court,” he added.

You're referring specifically to point guards in this definition. As a team, of course yes, a 2 to 1 ratio is good.
