Why have the ncaa basketball officials gotten so bad. They don’t call traveling, carrying the ball, 3 seconds in the lane, and obvious offensive charges any more. I understand that Duke is the obvious better team than Baylor, but 19 FT’s to 2 in the 1st half is ridiculous. The flagrant on Baylor I understand but why was the obvious intentional elbow by Flagg in the 1st half not flagrant I have now seen at least 3 games where the officials did everything in their power to try and allow the better seed to win

Good puts them at 6-6, unfortunately they are still near the bottom of the conference. Hopefully they will get on a roll

If the ncaa did things right they should have a March madness tournament for the mid majors separate from the majors allowing them to have a better chance for success

Simply stating the facts. You are correct most conferences can’t get the quality teams that the major conferences can and the ncaa has really messed up allowing players to get paid. This is one of the major reasons why it is no longer team, just a bunch of individuals that transfer from conference to conference for the money. Unfortunately college athletics are becoming like the pro leagues and getting to where they are not fun to watch

Very nice season for McNeese, had a Huge upset vs Clemson, unfortunately the loss to Purdue again shows the weakness of the SLC. They played hard, however the SLC just can’t get the higher quality players to be successful at the national level

Good news is that McNeese made it to the 2nd round, bat news is they got beat pretty bad by Purdue!

That is very good for the SLC, however the only team that will be invited to a regional will be the team that wins the conference tournament. The committees in the major sports do not think highly of the SLC

Remember that Lamar had a pretty good record and a good 2nd place finish in the SLC and didn’t even get a sniff to one of the Rinky Dink tournaments. The committee members do not like the SLC and you can rest assured they are not happy with this upset, I just hope Clemson doesn’t fire their coach over this loss like Texas is about to do to Terry!

You are correct. Great win for MC Neese. They tried their best to blow it at the end, however I was wrong on 1 and done. Some teams from the ACC are not very strong. Face it, today Clemson had shooters about like A&M, not very good , but you are correct, I blew the call on this game. I am glad they won, however the SLC is still a very weak conference and why only the winner will get a bid for March Madness

Another nice non conference win vs Tulane and a pretty decent record. It’s sad that they can’t win conference games, which will do their season in

You have a good point, however basketball committees are not favorable to the SLC. They simply do not think that the teams that are not the winners are worthy of an invitation

Lamar had a good record this season 20-13. It was a better season than the last several years, however they were not good enough to get invited to any post season tournament IMO Hopefully they will improve next year The only SLC to get invited a tournament is the winner because it is a weak conference

Lamar seems to have a decent team and has some gutty performers, but I guess they can’t find enough quality pitchers. Looks like the reliever in the 8th today couldn’t get it done I can’t figure out how they can beat teams that are pretty good in non conference, but when they get into conference play, they struggle They have a good season record as of today, however a not to sweet 3-5 conference record. If they keep going down this path, they are likely to be a middle of the road conference team. Hopefully they will get it going in a positive direction

I feel for the Lamar softball team. They just don’t compete very well under Hooks leadership Appears as of today that they will finish in the middle to the bottom in conference play

That is a good point, however Lamar is probably not going to do that INO Lamar’s athletic staff as well as the president of Lamar are happy with mediocre results
