MBB G13 Final: Louisiana 73, SLU 72

[VObserver]

The "They don't have FBS football" argument is an excuse and a straw man diversion.

I don't think we outspend UTA on basketball as that is their focus.

Two NCAA appearances in 46 years. And they're all in. And no football. LMAO.

72 wins the last 3 years and the AD runs the coach because they didn't get along.

Probably, IMHO, the program with the most INDIVIDUAL talent over that time frame.

No kidding it’s not like we don’t have Billionaire graduates too.

Who? I would like some names. Billionaires are pretty rare in Louisiana and most don’t give a damn about college athletics.

Mosing is the only one I can think of but we do have a good bit of multimillionaires

Phyllis Taylor is one.

Should have stopped at "who", but add connected to UL.

The only one close to that status still living in Louisiana (that I know of) is Phyllis Taylor. And she may be worth "only" $700,000,000 or thereabouts. It is my understanding that there are others not living in Louisiana (or the US).

And she/they have their own foundation.

So what about New Mexico or New Mexico State? San Diego State? Schools that have been relevant on the basketball map as mid majors but don't have tremendous recruiting bases. I know that San Diego State has a California population but they also have a ton of Universities and Juco's to fight over their players. How about Nevada? Not a basketball hotbed but all of a sudden, they are relevant. Houston is a comparison. Truth is, for every school we could name, there is likely a rebuttal as to why they shouldn't be named.

San Diego State and New Mexico St. are historically good at basketball. I would have loved to had NMST in the Sunbelt as a full member. They are probably the closest to a peer in all the ones listed so far.
I have only pointed out some of the differences in the situations of UL and the universities named. I pointed out that some of the teams named are more "mediocre" than UL.
Do you think San Diego state and Butler are peer universities of UL?
I agreed earlier that Nevada has been very good since Mussellmen got there. I also asked the question "Do you think it is solely the coach?"

VO- As a mid-major, you think splitting resources does not have a detrimental effect?

They paid for a nice new Innovation Lab at Jesuit in NOLA.
