Anybody else read about the coming NIT changes? Reads to me like a lot more teams from power conferences will be invited (two from each of the Power 6), and then top NET ranked schools after that. No autobid for regular season champs of conferences like ours. I’m not a big fan. Now, the ASUN will hopefully be in a position most years where our regular season champ would have a high (low?) enough NET rank to get in. But, there’s no guarantee. Most fans already don’t care about the NIT, but at least it gave small schools something to play for. Who cares about seeing a .500 Big 12 team play a .500 SEC team? Neither should be in a postseason tourney to start with. If I were in charge, I’d give every conference regular season AND tournament champion a spot in the NCAA field. I’ve never understood why a conference tournament over 3 or 4 days determines who gets an autobid while a team that was the “best” over an entire season can get left out. It’s more “exciting” I guess. If you want to keep it that way, fine. But change the play-in games to include all regular season champs who didn’t win their tournament and didn’t get a regular at-large. At least then they get a shot at playing for something bigger. But of course, we know money is driving all this. And the ASUN ain’t got it (comparatively speaking). I agree

That's a nice surprise! She had some good games towards the end of her career at Bama. She has good size, so definitely fills a need for us. On another note, does anybody know what happened with Jaida Bond? I remember there being pictures of her posted with the team during the season last year, so the assumption was maybe she was transferring back here. But she's not listed on the roster. Strange we haven't heard anything about that situation. Was she trying to transfer back but was denied? I was wondering the same about Jaida Bond. Also, Jade Moore is not on the roster. Seems Tiber has a roster management problem. They probably got fed up with her bullshit. Tiber is a strange bird.

Heard Bond was upset when she wasn’t able to Jersey 007. Same initials too, wonder if she ever thought about it.

Glad basketball season is here. Love football season, but we are a little further ahead in basketball and should challenge this year. I hope the students show up like last year.

Terrible start for Fulcher….6-6….will be a let down when he misses. Plenty to be happy about and also fix before Bulldogs. We need that win and maybe we make it two wins against Bulldogs?
Roar Lions!

Good first half by the Lions. We have a lot of depth on this updated squad. We still don’t have a true big guy like A&M does, though. To me, that’s where Pujol has lacked in recruiting.
Lions up at the half!

We did match A&M rebound for rebound. The big guy from Ireland is improving. Watched him vacate the post too many times last night to be an effective rebounder like Forrest. Smith seems to give us another solid rebounding option at 6’7” with Forrest. I like we have more length without losing athleticism. Clark showed some of those traits last night as well. Fulcher is a great compliment to Johnson and Lane. Foster has a quick but effective shot. Brown is so close most of the time. Is Howell hurt? He is still listed on the roster.

The women’s team was a sloppy mess tonight. They desperately need the LCHS/Bama transfer to be eligible soon. It think it’s the Chatty game on Dec 9th when she can play.

We got blown out at home by Denver? Not even the Broncos….we only score 51 points? We needed help with transfers and apparently didn’t get any. May be a long season here. Just one super ugly home game….so maybe we figured out some things and get it going. Scoring points would be a good place to start.

Their star guard is from Vestavia Hills and had a lot of family in town. The Lions missed a lot of 3’s and had a lot of turnovers. They need a vet on the team ASAP. Tiber is on my hot seat.
