Was told NCAA runs the WBIT, not sure who runs the Women's NIT.
Ahhh makes sense. I was just looking at the WNIT field and they have some stinkers in that one. Didn’t realize NCAA owns the men’s but not the women’s NIT

Next game is against Washington State in the 1st round of the WBIT.
So not even an NIT bid? They did change the rule this year. Last year it would have been an automatic NIT bid as regular season champions.

I had heard that rumor too but I think he stays.
But these days, who really knows.
I honestly hope he does. I’ve always been a Buzz fan and there’s no secret he’s given this kid the keys from the beginning.

Huge win for my Aggies over Kentucky. That should put them in NCAA tourney. A&M advances to SEC tourney semifinals.
I wonder if this will help keep Wade Taylor? Rumor has it he was a lock to enter the portal after the season. He was already about to get paid. This will drive that number up. Cougar High is allegedly a front runner for his services.

Will they get a bid?
They were rated like 21 last week, in the mid major poll. Their name got tossed in the recycle bin as the buzzer sounded. Might help them hang on to Aqua for another season though.

FYI, the names I listed are strictly a list of players in the BE coverage area and not our coverage area. Otherwise, that list would change quite a bit.
Speaking of teams I have seen this season. My total of teams I personally saw this season ended up at 121.
Game total ended up at 108.
That's now 8 consecutive seasons I have seen 100+ teams.

McNeese gonna get paid!
Gave him an extension worth 3 times what the next highest paid coach makes (Brooks) and won’t have to pay a nickel of it and will pocket over a cool mil. They need to throw the AD Schroyer a stack of those flags (chips) from the Nugget.

Lamar is not winning this one down 63-47 with 7 minutes left. But I would have been very curious if McNeese still would have made tourney if they had lost this game.
They are projected as a 13 seed but that projection has them winning the conference tourney too.
IMO, if they were to lose this game or the next, they still are a NCAA tourney team.
Agreed. And same here. Having this same discussion today. They deserve to be in regardless. But this conference is pretty low on the national scale and getting two teams in would be unheard of. Will Wade factor would help obviously.

Agreed. As long as Wade is there they will have both a coaching and recruiting edge.
Lamar is a decent team not a good team. I'd rate them slightly below the middle of the pack nationally. They have seemed to played better as the season progressed and Pryor is the only senior (if the rest of the team chooses to return).
Rumor has it that 1.2 million buyout won’t make it to the summer. He will be joining his former conference allegedly.
-
There are levels to this. Players and coaching. McNeese is on a different one on both fronts.

But here are some names to consider for that 2nd team:
(no particular order)
Bottley - Silsbee
Winn- LC-M
Seastrunk - Hamshire-Fannett
Garrett - West Brook
Wrinkle - Orangefield
Scales - Orangefield
Williams - United
Young - PA Memorial
Hilstock - PA Memorial
See I knew you were way better equipped. That’s a really good list.

Who would be the 2nd five?
That’s a much tougher question and one that our site director would be much more qualified to answer 😉
In all seriousness, I would defer to someone who has seen ALL of the area teams to answer that one (I.e., you).

Yeah I like your list… Could you clarify on the more well rounded aspect ? Obviously miller has the more physical advantage being 6’2 compared to sells. Not knocking what you said just wanted some clarification into what you mean lol
Good question. Primarily defense and rebounding. Size and athleticism certainly factor into that. To oversimplify, if I’m picking teams in a pick up game, I’m almost always taking Miller first (unless it’s my last pick and I really need shooting). No knock on Zac, him being in the conversation with 5 D1 players (and yes, Miller would be D1 in either sport), is high praise.

In advance of the Enterprise doing its Super Gold team, who are your 5 (and 5 ONLY, this isn’t a 145 man all SETX team as selected by the coaches). For me, there are 4 no brainers - Dotson and Payia from BU, Simmons from WB, and Harris from Silsbee. The 5th is a struggle between 2 in my mind, and I would lean Drelon Miller, even if he is a “football guy.” The other option would be Sells from Kountze, who I would be fine with. I would give the nod to Miller because he’s a senior and a more well rounded player imo.

I was wondering why this was released about 2hrs before the Silsbee game? These normally don't come out until the last team is eliminated from the playoffs. This feels like someone is a little jealous IMO. Also, Joe Sigler not coach of the year and no Tiger player featured in these pictures?
7 teams>in district, 35 players honored. I guess it didn’t matter when it got released since virtually everyone got something. 20 more players honored in 19-4A than the three All NBA teams, despite having 23 less teams. Why not have 7 co-Coaches of the Year? 😂

What a guts game by the Tigers…lot of heart displayed in that second half.

I know the all district selection argument has always been “it’s about recognizing the kids” which is true. Personally I think it should be recognition of the very best. A reward for hard work and performance. Selection of 20 all district players in a 7 team district waters down the award for the players who are actually deserving. Pick 5 players on 1st team and include them as the superlative players. Pick 5 on the 2nd team and you’ll actually start recognizing kids for their accomplishments again. Under no circumstance would I open the selection process to parents and slide shows and stats. You’d have lil Johnnys Little Dribbler game winning shot on the projector. JMO for what it’s worth as a fan.
The Enterprise continues to do this and that is why, in my opinion, it is the Gold standard (no pun intended). They manage to recognize 5 first team and 5 second team and they cover all classifications. But as I know , it is what it is with these teams. It’s nice for the kids. But with OF, and I’m sure other top teams, all 5 starters either got a superlative or were first or second team. If you include Honorable Mention, top 7 players got recognition. It’s just watered down now, and is just how it’s going to be probably.

Ponder will have to shoot as well if not better than they did today from 3 to have a chance. I feel like its very similar to an Argyle Silsbee type game. Ponder has to force Hitchcock to play at a slower tempo to have a chance.
Agreed. And teams tend not to shoot it very well against Hitchcock. I wonder why?
