So in 2016 TXST

beat Troy 2/3
UTA 2/3

went 3 games into the CIT and...... nothing?

Sleep on the senior-laden Eagles at your own risk

Goes to show you just how good the Sun Belt might be again. Last year we were the #13 conference in RPI. Maybe we can get into the Top 10 this time around.

I don't feel bad about not being top 144 because we don't have a program.

When your program is going places (finally) and did as good or better than teams they are ranking, yeah, it kind of pisses you off.

So painfully true. This is year 4 for Coach Fox. Now is the time to win if he is going to be a winner.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you lose a lot of seniors?

4 seniors. 1 of them only played 13 games due to season-ending injury and............I closed my page before I finished checking other stuff

Aye, the 3-4 rule is one I live by, though honestly this was such a dumpster fire I may even cut him slack for a 5th or 6th hard to convince an athlete to come play for 50-80 people a game

You also lose a large portion of your team, including your leading scorer. Plus, no one actually cares about the CIT.

I like where Louisiana is, I think that will be the case also, however GSU and Texas St looks too low to me, and CCU looks too high. this could be a good year for the Sun Belt. over half the teams have a good look about them heading into the season.

Note that last year Tamas Bruce was a part time starter for A-State down low, and he wasn't even a starter in the Scarlet and Black scrimmage last Wednesday. That mean's he's the 11th man on this year's team. stAte will have more than one guy over 6-4 on the floor!

Actually I have no idea how good stAte will be, but gun to my head I'd take over 20 wins and think it might could be the best team we've ever had.

Considering we have most everything back this year after we won the conference tourney as a 4 seed, We will finish higher than 6.

I can deal. We were picked to finish 12th last year. Totally written off, finished 4th and made the championship game. Leading scorer actually played sparingly in tourney. Players that made a difference in tourney are back; including 2nd leading scorer for the season.

I'll just sit back and let the rest of you sleep on TXST...again.
