Perhaps we're peaking at the right time..

Tonight's game is huge. A Cajun win will give us a good hold on that 4 place spot and a bye till Friday. But it'll also knock G southern out of first. If Monroe finishes first then we would then have them on Saturday and the two Georgia's duke it out on the other side of the bracket. I feel it would be better to play Monroe on Saturday and not have to play them on national tv.

True. I would much rather get monroe at least once in the tourney than either of the two GA schools. I hope we show up tonight

Well, Monroe got drilled by 23 by App State who had lost six in a row.

Still a three way tie though. Monroe has a slightly easier week ahead of them with two home games left. Ga. State still has to play at Monroe and then their finale at home against G. Southern. Meanwhile, G Southern has to overcome a late season injury. It'll be a fun week.

ULM is down to seven players and it looks like they're gassed. They lost 2/3 on that road swing. I think they'll have a devil of a time beating Georgia State, even at home.

Jay, even though we lost both to ULM, I think that as the #4 seed we match up much better with ULM and Ga. Southern, then we do vs Ga State. I would rather if Ga State would end up being the 2 or 3 seed, so that we would not have to face them until the finals. I don't like that match up at all. We showed we can beat Ga Southern, and now they are down a player and I think with the way ULM is hurt we match up well vs them. We just don't match up well vs Ga State. Without a miracle comeback in the 2 of the last 3 times we played (last years finals) and first game vs them this year they have overpowered us.

We need ULM and/or Georgia Southern to win the regular season championship.
