The conventional wisdom is that it is really hard to beat the same team three times in the same season. If that's the case, are we better off trying to beat WKU for the third time, or having ASU try to beat us for the third time?

Well, you can look at what we did with ULL. Struggled during the regular season but had a decisive win in the tournament. If we get WKU, I hope we could do the same thing. However, ASU scares me to death.

ESPN Bracketology has the Sunbelt Champion(right now listed as probably for WKU) the #15 seed in the South region...in San Antonio vs UNC.

If that comes to fruition for us, it would be 1988 all over again...except in San Antonio as opposed to Salt Lake City back then. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

I know! I thought it was very ironic, which is why I posted it. But all of the seeds and regions are very fluid right now, so who knows. :)

We're going to need some tough smoothering defense out of Sturns and Stewart tonight more than ever to slow down Banks and Wells. We're facing a tough veteran team tonight and those matchups could be key. Whether we have Davis back or not, personnel decisions by JJ are going to be very important. Best of luck guys!!!

Actually the first round appears to be in Winston-Salem.

They try to keep the top seeds close to home if possible.

Yeah, I did catch that several posts later :)

And I just went to their site...they don't even have the Sunbelt listed now...so I guess the SBC Champion has been demoted to the Play In game.

      Big 12 Pursuing Duke

      Sure, there are scenarios where these things are possible. But nobody writing these articles knows anything more about the possibilities than you or I do. Further, even if they did know more, they are not going to write an article laying out the reasons it won't happen, or the reasons some third possibility that doesn't benefit the B12 could happen. They aren't doing unbiased rational analysis. It's like relying solely on MSNBC or Fox for news

      I don't like it. But what he says is obviously true. This is not good for college football. Or basketball. Or most any other college sport.

      NIL and the Portal are killing gmg

      Checking in for the first time in like 6 weeks. I did indeed stop checking in semi-regularly after the basketball team fell apart. Doesn't help that I don't expect football to be good. But yes, the off-season goings on in the NIL era are too depressing. If you don't think your team is gonna be good this very season, why stick with it, not like anyone can really build anything truly long term at the G5 level anymore. Why follow any specific player, if he is gone once he flashes his potential on the field.

      Or is there another explanation. I’ve never seen this place so dead. I realize it’s the off season, but it seems much slower than usual.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      College football has always been a food chain. The problem now is the instant movement allowed every year for players with no sit-out for transfers. Maybe if the Texas Tech's, and other mid-P4's of FBS, start feeling the pain of having star players stolen then more restrictions will happen.
