I agree with Jeff's assessment of next year's mens team
"The men will be a question mark. They are losing a lot, but have some interesting players on the way. And they're still recruiting. I don't expect the men to be as good next year, but I do expect them to be competitive in Sun Belt Conference play".
I expect us to be competitive. I think our early goal should be getting a first round home game and making it to Hot Springs. ASU showed us this year that getting to Hot Springs is not automatic. Not making it to the tournament, when it's 50 minutes away, would be really sad.
For the girls, anything less than a Division title and being in the running for an NCAA at-large berth would be a disappointment.

Good question. I don't have a clue.

We should know that by now, as our men didn't make it to the tournament site t[/b]wo years ago.

I wonder if the trend mentioned was playing time. Only 7 deep last night.
