So much for them being a good RPI game for UAB this season.

Haase and Co did their best.

Not knocking Haase at all. We all thought SFA would be good before the start of the season even with the lost of their former coach. Just goes to show the difficulty in scheduling good mid major programs. You can't always assume a team is going to be good for the RPI/schedule based off a previous year(s) performance. And while you could say this for just about any school, it is a little riskier when you're scheduling teams non major conferences.

Better than the last three teams we played..

They didn't lose their coach. Brad Underwood is still there.

My bad.

SFA dominates the Southland. I think we could have a chance of beating a couple conference champs. Georgia St, SFA, and maybe Troy. Illinois St would be a long shot.

GSU and Troy are obviously in the same conference but still applies*

SFA has played four non-D1 teams.

They have a really good OOC schedule, outside of the four non-d1 teams.

They played a good ASU (AZ) tough on the road in their last game. We'll have our hands full Tuesday.

Yes we will. I believe they also played a good Baylor team on the road. We will be playing a good team on Tuesday and hope we have a good crowd there.
