SBC Championship: Louisiana 71, South Alabama 66

[Rainman66]

Looking at the SBC board, seems JMU was the first that said they’re not paying to play. CBI reportedly costs $27,500.

Hoping for Birmingham for UL. Being an old timer, goodness, the rush of making the dance is still sweet.

I have seen it reported in articles that it is $50k, but who knows.

Great win. The keys to the game for me were only nine turnovers and SoAl only shooting 60% from the FT line.

No GW and this team still persevered. Outstanding team chemistry can overcome deficiencies.

Looking at this team, I am very proud of them, but they don’t strike me as a dangerous tournament team. Now if Williams, Dalcourt and Garnett can all get hot in the same game versus a very good opponent then I will gladly be proven wrong.

Forgive me if someone else already brought this up.....but how bout a conference championship against SOUTH ALABAMA?!?!?! Of all teams.

If only.

Hey, we can dream.

I have seen it reported in articles that it is $50k, but who knows.

I’ve since seen multiple articles with varying amounts, with up to 75k being the high figure for one of the two buy ins. I have a feeling , even now post Covid, they’ll struggle as last year filling brackets.

Detroit Mercy, even with a losing record, will be a team they want so a fifth year player can break Pistol Pete’s scoring record, which was set in three years. I know he’s from across the basin, but he changed the game. Records are made to be broken, but not this way.

While I would have loved to have been there, this setup was excellent. I had the main TV sync with Jay's broadcast. The secondary TV was 20 seconds behind so that we could watch replays. Then, the third TV had the statsbroadcast up.

And holding Owen White to a few baskets. They are at their best when Moore is driving and doing his thing and kicking out to White who just caught fire at the end of the season and in the SBC tournament. White was probably a tournament MVP candidate before that final.

Sweet way to watch a championship unfold.

Sweet way to watch a championship unfold.

….the post game USA interview kinda told the story….they had the stats on our guys shooting the 3s…..they gave this up to double on Brown and we were able to hit some 3s…..great game and our 3s and their missed FTs did it big time!

With Victory tonight, we'll be hanging another banner in the Dome.

When UL calls up the order for the banner production, here is a friendly reminder: We also need a couple for Cajun Field. If you (UL) can't find the money for it, give them my number and I will pay for it and go hang them myself.

Cajuns 72
USA 68

sEcSPN is listing this as our 11th appearance. So it appears our banner has eliminated 2004 and 2005 based on an allegations ruling in 2007. However, ignored 1972 and 1973 being vacated, yet the powers that be are giving us credit for all four

Very nice man cave.
