The UNA men are starting the conference schedule this Friday on the road at Jax State. They barely beat a D2 a couple of nights ago but I'm sure they'll show up to host the Lions. Then, Monday, the Lions are home against Bellarmine who has a bad record but has played a lot of P6 teams. They travel to Lipscomb next Thursday (who has been very up and down so far this season) and host Stetson next Saturday. The Hatters beat Florida State early on this season. We'll know a lot about our team in the next week. Before Christmas, the NET rankings for the ASUN looked like this with almost everyone having completed non-conference play. The Lions, as of today, have moved up one spot to 244. NET Rankings: 12/2474. Liberty 6-4 78. FGCU 9-3 109. Jacksonville 4-3 134. Queens 7-3 165. Kennesaw St. 5-5 179. Stetson 3-6 203. Lipscomb 5-5 245. UNA 5-5 254. EKU 4-6 255. Jax State 4-6 260. North FL 3-7 287. Austin Peay 3-7 288. Bellarmine 2-8 303.

Sure would be nice to start off the conference schedule with a win over the chickens. It would just be nice to beat them in SOMETHING. I know we get them again at Flowers later in the season, but I want to spank them on their home court.
FWIW, they are 6.5 point favorites tonight.

We lose this game tonight it is definitely a step backwards. JSU is not one of the top 6 teams in conference this year, may not be in top 10 they way they are scoring. Hopefully we still have momentum from the finish to our non conference slate. Heck Ole Miss almost got Tennessee last night. We should be confident going into the conference. Young guys are stepping up. We keep turnovers down, continue to rebound, and make free throws. We win by 7 at their place.
Roar Lions

Lions up 33-27 at the half. JSU can’t buy a bucket and we can’t rebound. Lions went 6 mins without scoring. This ain’t pretty basketball.

Just got in watched close to first half. Looks like Ortiz doesn’t need to be the one guarding their superstar. He is much taller and faster than Ortiz. I will take the 6 point lead into the half though. Funny their coach threw a fit….their guy hit the rim. I am not sure our player would have made the layup, but you can’t hit the rim with ball on it. Easy goaltending call. The announcers are terrible, I get being a homer but good grief. Roar Lions!

Whew we struggle to score. Wish we could go down low for points and not rely so much on one on one shots. Ortiz forced a long three after a steal? Now down 2 after poor defensive series.

Hit some threes and held them off the boards for their offensive rebounds. We continue to rebound and take quality shots we should be ok. Can’t force those ugly shots, assist on the road go along ways.

Bellarmine is not strong this year. We kept building to our strengths and we should be 2-0 in conference. Huge getting a road win tonight. We must protect home court this year. We do that and win some on the road….look out. Finishing 2022 off right with a win over the cocks…..they chose the name.
Roar Lions!

Don't discount Bellarmine... coaching and discipline is why they did what they did last year. If they get hot they will still be hard to deal with.
