They say there’s too many games and they can’t do them all while balancing school, jobs, and girlfriends.

Based on football, it looks like they have the numbers where they could have a good representation for basketball without everyone having to be there for every game, they could work out some sort of schedule.

Oh I remember. Lame excuses. They don't all have to show up every game. Just half of them would be a huge improvement.

I'm sure if every game was in ESPN they'd somehow find a way to get there...

They’re really good when they’re there. It doesn’t take much to unify and lead the student section. At our largest we had 60ish people at a game but usually it was 30 or so. We had our core 15-20 that was at every game and the rest revolved around their schedules. You just have to have that core who is there consistently.

I've never counted them: how many Jokers are there at football games?

I'd post a congratulations on the LU Basketball Facebook Page, but alas, I am still banned for suggesting they should fire Layer 3 years ago.

I'm glad someone agrees. I admire his dedication but geeeezzzz

For what it's worth, Navy was 16-16 last year, and their current KenPom rating is 163, which is 12 higher than ours.

Anyone know when the last time our KenPom(175) was higher than our football Sagarin(193)?

Someone had posted that BB was ranked higher than FB. I was just being honest.

I have never understood why some folks get upset, lose sleep and get panties in a wad because someone may post something that's "viewed" as on wrong site. I could see it if someone started a new Thread, on wrong site, but making a comment comes under the "no harm, no foul rule".

ESPN ranks us as the 179th best team in America, which is the second highest Big South team behind UNC-A (who was ranked 112th).

Other interesting notes:

We beat the #81 ranked VCU Rams and the #153 ranked Midshipmen from Navy.

I think Kenpom and ESPN will both be wrong about our Flames this year. BIG DANCE here we come in March with an upset win in the tournament.

I think RMK is going to get some national love for the turn around of this program by the end of this year. I just have a feeling the defense is going to be strong enough to shut down our best opponents this year. Even if the VCU game wasn't an in season game, that's a huge feat. Something is wrong with the rankings is 179 beats 81 by double digits. That something wrong is under ranking the Flames.
