So, I imagine UAB's gonna drop from losing to Furman? Or has that already happened (dropped from 84 to 92)

If the CUAB office gifts Birmingham the tournament yet again, it would be great if UAB didn't qualify

Pretty sure thats already a done deal.

UAB could have a winless season and still qualify for the tournament as a 1 seed.

We also managed to have a really bad selection of conference opponents.

I really like our "bad selection" of conference opponents. It gives us a better chance to win the C-USA regular season title and automatic NIT bid. It also gives our fans more opportunities to attend our road games.

Now our OOC schedule is another story. That has to get strengthened. I don't know if we can even get an at-large bid to the NIT with 27 wins against this schedule.

I concur

That's true, and not what I'm mad about. Conference schedule is something we can't help and so we might as well have an easy path to the title.

at least NSU is not on schedule

Northwestern State is down 12 in hoops to a DIII school, Le Tourneau. That would be Le Horrible Loss.

Anyone else excited about the wku game where we will face a five star center?

Anyone else excited about the wku game where we will face a five star center?

Yes -

WKU has been less than impressive so far this year...

Ben Simmons was an all-world talent but with Johnny Jones on the bench he couldn't do squat for lsu

I've never been in awe of Stansberry's coaching prowess - lots of talent but very little to show for it
