I understand the money games. Those games are usually winnable as much as our trip to UGA to be served up as homecoming fodder next fall. That said...
Last night for a period of time against UNO, we looked like McNeese last week. When a single UNO 5'8" poppa smurf looking guy (#5) comes in among three of our bigs and comes down with the ball...really??? Block out 101. Blown fast breaks last night. Twice we had what looked like sure thrown downs. Nope. One was stripped from JH, the other never got a shot off. Air (the player formerly known as Cash) finally made 2 big shots after what, 8 clunks? And coach was talking post game about how he is one of our better shooters? God save the queen.
We're in the Sunbelt, a once strong basketball league which now is an automatic bid only league, and will be seeded between 12 and 16. That can only be fixed by all the SBC teams. Little Rock is going all in on basketball after years. Wonder what took them so long?
On the "bright" side, in the first half we got a look at next year. Ugh...
So to answer your question, it seems to be no from those that make that call.
