Times says Centenary vs Milsaps ULM vs NSU Tech vs Gram in bossier
Supposed to play East Tennessee, but they pulled out ?? So now it's Grambling ??
http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story...city/89017714/
Centenary, Millsaps, NSU, NLU, Grambling, LA Tech.
They say a person is known by the company he keeps.
Guess Konkol thinks that's who we are ??
And there it is...
Tech isn't even the headliner. How embarrassing.
Attn: Coach Konkol -- Tech fans in Shreveport have no interest in watching us play Grambling. We need to pull out of this event immediately.
If the SBSC wants Tech to play in Bossier, then they need to put up the money to bring in a quality opponent. If not, then no deal.
But don't believe for one second that Grambling was first contacted Thursday. Sixteen weeks ago I was told Tech, NLULM, NWST, and Grambling would play in this event.

This "tournament" could set us back tremendously if we were to lose. We should back out and try and find a home game.
Congrats to the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission for putting together what must be the most Butt Ugly six-team event ever in college basketball.
Based on 2015-2016 performance,
Centenary (Div. III, record 16-11) vs. Millsaps (Div. III, record 5-21)
ULM (RPI 104, record 20-14) vs. NSU (RPI 344, record 8-20)
LA Tech (RPI 129, record 23-10) vs. Grambling (RPI 350, record 7-24)
The SBSC finally gets a hotel tax passed after failing miserably the first time. What does the SBSC do with the tax dollars?
First, hire a new employee... Of course!
Second, bid to host the Belch hoops tourney (and fail to land it).
Third, bring in an NBA preseason game (Mavericks vs. Pelicans) at the same time as the Tech vs. UTEP football game in Ruston.
Fourth, attempt to schedule the most "butt ugly" college basketball showcase of all-time.
Oh yeah, and bring in a hot air balloon race, tae kwon do event, fishing tournament, and drag racing event. Woo hoo!
We need to refuse to play in this piss-poor attempt at a game.
Better yet, the conference needs to forbid us to put this on the schedule, similar to what was discussed during the Media Days.
Just another excuse for Shreveport fans to not show up.
I attended a similar thing years ago at Hirsh:
Centenary vs. Alaska-Anchorage
Tulane vs. Notre Dame.
That was the promised return to Louisiana to appease Mansfield recruit.....chit! Can't remember his name. Digger Phelps brought his ranked Irish team to S'port. Orlando Woolridge? Is that it?
That Tulane team had two future NBAers on it, and they were pretty good. But the Irish smoked 'em in the 2nd half to win 76-56.
I support such events, in general. But, come on man! gotta have some quality teams there.
