MBB Final: Louisiana 85, Arkansas State 74

If South Alabama can host Auburn, Arkansas State can bring in Air Force, and Georgia Southern can bring in Florida Gulf Coast; we can bring in someone somewhat decent outside of 3 non-D1 schools.

The great majority of schools in the SBC played 3 non D1 schools. That is a problem therefore the new rule mandating a certain number of D1 home games. Turns out Samford was a decent out of conference home opponent as last time I checked they were 16 and 2 in their league. Hopefully we get more than 1 of those in future.

We should’ve when we were 28-5 or something like that and had to go play Will Wade _____ ass in the PMAC. Everything was done in that game to ensure a tiger victory

We still whining about that years later?

I'm not Mike, but here is a decent explanation.

Quadrant one wins are those home games vs. teams RPI ranked 1-30, neutral games vs. 1-50, and away games vs. 1–75. For example, a home win against a top 30 team would qualify as a quadrant one victory.

A Quadrant 2 win are those at Home against the RPI 31–75, neutral 51–100, and away victories over the RPI 76–135.
