I think he is the best x's and o's coach in the Southland, just has trouble motivating... Either way, the second season of SHSU athletics is starting now with baseball here. Enjoy...

Win both games next week (vs. UCA; @ UIW) and we have at least a first round bye...These are statistically our easiest two remaining games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 With six games remaining, the magic number is 4. Any combination of four SFA wins & Nicholls/ACU losses gives the Jacks the double bye in Katy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotton84 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If Duke stays in the top 10, I think 7 more wins gets us in the dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFA is 85th in the NET rankings. The next closest is Nicholls at 185th. Had SFA been undefeated...maybe. Had SFA not lost to A&M CC...maybe. But 1 marquee win (and don't get me wrong, it was a BIG win) is not going to get SFA in over the teams that are currently on the bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not their sole factor. They still go by the eye test, injuries etc etc as well. But the NET was basically built with the approval of everyone in NCAA basketball and is a pretty good determinant of where your team stands.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Rankings came out today and the Jacks are moving closer to the top-25... 14 points in the AP Poll. That is good for a tie at #32 with Cincinnati. Ohio State sits at #25 with 95 points 2 points in the USA Today Coaches Poll. This is our first appearance in that poll this year. Ultimately these rankings mean nothing on the court and how we perform, but it is great publicity for the program. Not sure if winning out would get us to crack the top-25, but we would be close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still trails James Silas for the school record by 129 points. He is averaging 18 a game. He is assured 6 more games minimum. SLC championship would be a seventh game and leave him three short, assuming he scores only his average. Postseason game gets him the school record... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't happen though because the Southland is a joke of a conference. We have hit that time of year when alumni are clamoring for a move to another conference. I don't think it should happen, but I do think a move is becoming more realistic in the next 5-10 years... We are up to 47 votes in the latest AP Poll (#28 overall) and 15 votes in the Coaches Poll (#32 overall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotton84 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I just hope we can keep Walter Matthau, I mean Kyle Keller, for a few more years...……...He had a few troubles last year, but I love how he(and his assistants) get his players to buy in to playing defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get at least one more. No major jobs are projected to open that he could be attached to. Plus after last year's dud, he will need another year or two to prove consistency. He comes off as a Kaspar type and good with where he is. Yes, Kaspar left, but it wasn't a complete money grab. A lot more to his move than money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 SFA 77 - Abilene Christian 72 Big win, and lucky to get. SFAÂ missed 19 free throws. Ugly performance against a good team in a very hostile environment. Season finale Saturday with sammy coming over to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
