women's program then a mens. I can't say I totally disagree with him, but when you think about it, it just means you have to be the best in your league, whatever that entails. It doesn't mean you have to be a UConn or a Tennessee or a Kansas. A men's coach at UALR should be able to accomplish the same thing as Coach Foley. If Coach Foley can beat the Troys, Westerns and North Texas's, why is it wrong to expect our men's program to accomplish the same thing? I don't think that's an unreasonable goal.04-cheers

As of this moment we are not the best in our league in women's basketball. MTSU beat us on a neutral court, has a significantly higher RPI, and is a higher seed in the tournament. I think most would agree that MTSU is better, although there is not much difference at this point. We will be the best team in the league next year.

The question of who is the best in any league is usually open for discussion. But, I would point out that the NCAA Selection Committee didn't think there was a whole lot of difference between MTSU and Little Rock since they gave Little Rock an 11 seed and MTSU a 10 seed. Not much of a spread there.

I don't know much about the size of players in womens basketball but the post player for middle that kills us would have a hard time against BCS (bigger posts), right? ON the flip side Reed should be able to produce against anyone.

When I said the best I didn't necessarily mean the best every year, but a program that competes with the best every year and makes the postseason on a fairly regular basis. I would settle for the men's team being either the first or second best team in the league each year with an at large invite to the NCAA in those seasons when it doesn't win the tournament.04-cheers

Well put Outsider. How many times does it have to be said before the apologists get it? Our Men's Basketball Program is not expected to compete on equal level with BCS Conferences. But, it is not expecting too much for UALR to consistently compete with the best in so-called Mid-Majors. Anyone who willingly accepts anything less is not much of a jock. May as well forget competitive basketball. Take your wife to the movie.
