I was impressed by some of their players, they should compete for the Sun Belt with the talent they have, I would love to see them and MTSU go at it, should be a very entertaining game to see. Had they hit their free throws last night, that game might have had a different outcome

ULM is picked to finish last in the Sun Belt, by a large margin. MTSU is picked to run away from the competition in the Sun Belt, by a large margin. I'm not sure it will be much of a game. However, I keep hearing ULM's best player is still injured.

UAB was favored by 20 or 21 points last night.

We were big underdogs at MTSU.

ULM was a good SunBelt team, we were a not so good CUSA team. We struggled hitting our shots, we couldn't defend the dribble drive or the three point line. If our big man had hit his shots, not Rucker, Faz.
Our big man had a terrible night, and he had a huge advantage in height. It will not get any easier.
I see one big difference in this years team from some of our previous teams, and thats on the defensive end.
Our team isnt playing good defense for a long period of time.
I hope that will improve, however I cant say for sure who is the defensive minded coach on this team.
