UALR & ULL have Saturday off. Denver plays at Western Kentucky. We could get within a game of 1st with a win.

Likely standings after Saturday.

UALR 6-4

Denver 5-5

North Texas 5-5

ULL 5-5

We REALLY need to take advantage of having a down FIU squad at home.

What is so great about winning the West division?

I know in years past the tournament was always seeded #1 West, #1 East, #2 West, etc. But this year, the Sun Belt site just has it as Seeds #1-13. Does the division winner automatically get to be seeded #1 or #2?

I would be happy winning the West division at this point. However, I would hate for us to end up getting a #3 seed (which we probably would) when winning the division.

Those with more knowledge than I, please respond.

Assuming that the setup is the same as last year, we would get an extremely important first round bye. Here's a link to last year's setup.

If we win the West we'll be the 2nd seed. Even if we were a 3 seed though(thinking the winner of the West would have a better record than anyone other than WKU and USA), that'd be an advantage with a 1st round bye. I don't want to have to play USA until as late as possible in the tournament - if they get the 1 seed I want to be the 2. Hell it'd almost be preferable to being the 6 or 7 seed than the 4 or 5 in that scenario. USA is at home in the league tourney remember.

I have the same concerns. I don't want to see USA at home early in the tourney.

I like this version better since we have the better overall record than Denver:

UALR 6-4

North Texas 5-5

Denver 5-5

ULL 5-5

If I'm not mistaken there is also a NIT bid that comes into play if you win your half of your conference...Courtland correct me if I'm wrong.

Only if you win the regular season of the league. For conferences like the Sunbelt with divisions, only the top overall record goes(if they don't make the NCAA). The NIT doesn't want to get forced into taking 2 Sunbelt schools(or whatever other league).

      Lambert? You mean that guy left his park ranger job to get back into the game? You better call Eric Morris. We are going to need his toughness on defense at LB.

      This may be why he is in the portal. Maybe he was encouraged to enter the portal to open up a spot for a better player.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.
