Not good for the rest of the Belt
From Jeff Goodman's blog talking about regular season champion FAU-

FAU's top leading scorers --- Greg Gantt, Raymond Taylor and Kore White --- are sophomores. Jarvis starts another freshman. Even with such a young team, the Owls consistently close out games down the stretch.

They're 9-2 in games decided by less than six points

Looks like FAU will be the team to beat for awhile.

RE: Not good for the rest of the Belt
While it may be hard for UALR fans to except it, IMO ASU is the team to beat in the SBC in the future. Had they not unexpectedly lost two key players and two assistants they would have been stronger early on this year and that would be more evident.

They have the best coaching staff in the league and Brady & Company are getting solid recruits and some good transfers.

FAU arguably has the better staff.

You can argue anything. Like I said had there not been so much turmoil in the program when Brady took over everyone would already see just how good these coaches are.

From here on it will be more evident as the NCAA and APR issues are put in the past and the roster is filled with Bradys players.

At this point they have almost won a division championship, something we've done 4 times in 8 years. If they win the tournament I'll have to reluctantly acknowledge you may be right. Only problem then will be- can you keep Brady in Jonesboro?

RE: Not good for the rest of the Belt
Points well taken on both sides. Brady has done a commendable job in rebuilding a program that he inherited with below SBC average talent and apr and other issues left behind by DN's juco reliant and must win now efforts to keep his job. But for Brandon Reed transfering and Daniel Bryant behaving in such a way as to lead to his termination as a player I have no doubt (as a stAte fan of course) that we are right with FAU. Given that those things happened, that we badly over scheduled (believing that Reed was on board) our team and coaches have done very well to have a good bit to play for on the last day of the regular season (undefeated at home on the year; division championship and a #1 seed in the tournament). Not overwhelming, but a good step forward. Will we win? Thats why they play the game.

While Brady has stubbed his toe with a couple of players (all coahes do) we have done it the right way, in my opinion. Of our 9 man rotation 5 were signed by stAte out of high school (Trey and 4 by Brady) 2 are transfers from OK State where they signed out of high school and 2 are JUCOs (Boone and 1 by Brady). Who knows what the future holds for stAte and Brady but so far we have been well served.

Your Trojans arrived safely at the Fairfild Inn by Marriot in Jonesboro last night about 9:30 last night and are starting to stir now.

mjs, you make a good point, unfortunately you're arguing the wrong side. It would be awesome if we had a coach leave for bigger deals.

Scouting the other team is normal. Stalking them is bit much, even for Woofs.

No doubt. But my statement was a hypothetical. They haven't won anything yet. With the crowd support they'll have, they may even be the favorite in Hot Springs. But they still have to win it on the court.

Scotto,

I was here first. If there is any stalking going on, I am the victim.

stAte current roster does not have the talent that was in the league 3 years ago. UALR's 23 win team was better top to bottom. You guys did a lot of losing out of conference and winning in conference this year is not saying anything.

Everyone that is not WKU has to get to the point that they are recruiting WKU type talent. You guys are not there yet.

While Brady has not signed his extension he said he likes it at ASU. I look for him to stay there until he retires. ASU averaged a little over 3K this year at home and that will probably be above 5K in the very near future, really just more in line with what it was in the past.

Bottom line ASU and the other football playing schools in the SBC (and I say the SBC will be football only conference in 5 years, if UALR can find a home) have turned their attention and resources to up grading basketball now that SBC football has moved from crawling to walking at the FBS level. We are just now seeing the early results at places like ASU, and FAU.

Yes, we are the only team in the SBC that wants to be in the SBC in 5 years. It is home.

Everyone else just sees it as a job at Burger King. We have bought into managing the BK and plan to work hard to reach our goal.

That is probably true for any school playing FBS football anyplace but in and AQ conference. In fact is they had the chance most SBC teams would probably jump at the chance to move to CUSA.

Still don't think the SBC will hold on to UALR. I see your program in a conference that places the greatest emphasis on the sports that you emphasize. Some good ones out there.

Nice article on Brady and the staff. From this article, and what I've heard, Brady would like to stay at ASU for awhile.

That being said, you've got to consider North Texas when talking about future teams that might dominate the league. Their incoming recruiting class is one of the top ranked ones in the country.
