With the Conference Championship already decided, there are still a lot of seeding to play for. Especially within the 4 way battle for the 2-4 seeds

Thursday (Men and Women)

UT Arlington at UL Monroe
Little Rock at South Alabama
Texas State at Louisiana
Arkansas State at Troy

Saturday (Men and Women)

Georgia Southern at Georgia State
Texas State at UL Monroe
Coastal Carolina at Appalachian State
Arkansas State at South Alabama
Little Rock at Troy
UT Arlington at Louisiana

Men's Standings:

1. UTA 13-3
2. AState 11-5
3. GS 11-6
4. GSU 11-6
5. Texas State 10-6
6. CCU 10-7
7. Troy 8-8
8. ULL 8-8
9. USA 6-10
10. UALR 5-11
11. App St 3-14
12. ULM 2-14

Had a lead practically the whole game then let ULL come back and tie it 74-74. Outscored 20-10 in OT and TXST takes it on the chin.

We led 99% of regulation.

Gut wrenching loss. We can't shoot free throws or rebound. Not a good combo.
12/22 from the FT line and outrebounded 39-22. It's amazing we led virtually the entire game.

Cajuns are Texas state's kryptonite across all sports

I can empathize. We lead for 38 minutes and 58 seconds. With 1:02 left Little Rock took their first lead and in that last 1:02 outscored the Jags 12-2.

It's true. I don't know what it is about you guys.

Congrats to UTA on the outright championship by the way.

So sick of the losing. If Matt Graves is still at USA next year, I'm going to want a new AD.

Troy beats Ark St 81-71. Troy has the talent to make some noise in the tourny, we just need to play to our potential, which we have done only rarely this year.

Thanks. Keeps our chances of a first round bye alive.

We have to beat ULM and need USA to beat A-State. Come on Jags you can do it.

My prediction....20 point USA lead in the first half. We'll lose by 4 after missing 12 free throws in the 2nd half.

Jay wright basically just went off in the last minute of the game to tie it up....one of the best games I've watched in a while though

I guess it's relative, and dependent on what side of the overtime score you're on... .

Congrats on the win. It was one we really needed, and in true Bobcat fashion we couldn't close. Getting to be an old story . .. .

My math could be wrong, but I think in order to get a top 4 seed:

We have to beat ULM AND South Alabama has to beat A-State AND App has to beat Coastal AND Georgia State has to beat Georgia Southern.

So, uh, see yall on Wednesday....

Thank you much. As a basketball school in Texas, this was exactly what we needed.

I've been doing this for 25 years and the Jay Wright performance was one of the most incredible individual performances I've ever seen.

Did not score in the first half. Had four points with 2 1/2 minutes to go.

Scored the Cajuns' last twelve points in regulation in the final 2:15. Hit the first shot in OT that fouled out Gilder-Tilbury. Hit a three later in the OT.

17 points in 4:21.

And, as he said after the game..."It's March."

Cajuns scored 34 points in the final 3 minutes of regulation of 5 minutes of OT. Outscored Texas State 34-18 in that time span. 17 of the 34 were by Wright. Wasn't at the game but kept listening hoping we could pull it out. Glad I was able to at least listen to Wright's heroics.

Yeah, that "Lock Down D" of ours is a thing of beauty . . . .

Has anyone worked out the seeding scenarios?

I have...UTA 1st seed

The rest is a huge pile of .........

It's complicated

I believe that if CCU, AState, GS, and GSU win, they all clinch byes. (Coastal has every tiebreak in world history thanks to beating UTA) Obviously since the Georgia Schools play each other, one is guaranteed to lose.

Texas State needs to win, get a loss from either CCU or AState, and then have 3-4 team tiebreaks go their way.


5 and 6 seeds get filled out based on who is left out. AState likely gets left out with a loss. Otherwise, either Georgia State or Georgia Southern and Texas State fill those slots.

7 seed/8 seed: Troy and ULL are tied, with Troy owning the tiebreak.

9/10 seed: UALR/USA are tied with UALR owning the tiebreak

11/12 seed: App gets 11 with a win. ULM gets 11 with win and App loss
