If you haven't been paying attention this week, UNA beat EKU in a wild one in Florence, and Kennesaw crushed Dunk City by 24 at the HooterDome.
There will be no easy road games this fall.

I don't think anyone has noticed either. We're 6-1 last 7 games. But I really don't think the team clicked as to how good they can be till last Tuesday. Great comeback by a team that just refused to lose. The Lipscomb might have been a wake up call. With the students back hopefully we will "PACK THE PETE" next Saturday.

We may be on a 6-1 streak (and believe me I'm fine with our loss being Alabama) but 5 of our 6 wins are 2 JuCos, Lipscomb, Little Rock, and UNA. The other is FIU and I'm honestly not sure what to make of them. These are all games we should win. Lets see how EKU goes tonight. That road game will be a good measuring stick as we go into the FGCU and Liberty games to finish out the month. |

EKU is 0-4 in the asun thus far and I suspect they lose to lipscomb next week.
JSU inversely is 3-0
What was learned from this win against EKU?

I’m saying EKU is not the great team others want to measure us against and that lipscomb was not the team someone else said sucked. There was no more to learn from our win over EKU than lipscomb.

No way of knowing if you attended the Lipscomb game or not. But I thought our team finally clicked and refused to lose. This carried over to EKU. We were coached to attack EKUs big men and it worked late in game with both bigs for EKU in foul trouble. Of course that won't be good enough for some on here. Don't know if you follow KenPom or not? It's an analytical site ranking all 358 D1 teams adjusting after every game. The selection committee uses it. Right now Liberty is ranked @ 115 & JSU is 121. The next ASUN team is Bellarmine @ 203. Why do I bring this up? I happen to believe 121 is pretty dang good for a school in a ONE bid league, with a limited budget. A huge PLUS for going to CUSA is that it is a multiple bid league. JSU has never had that chance. This week and next are big for our basketball team. Starting with Central Arkansas and ending with Liberty. |

I have nothing against a ranking system. But I believe there is too much emphasis put on them. Too often they are wrong.
I prefer the eye test. We are definitely improving and this year is shaping ip to be a great year. I agree liberty and UCA will be a big test but losing one doesn’t spell disaster especially on the road.
FGCU should be tough also but truthfully most of our conference schedule should be very competitive. It’s shaping up to be a good season win or lose.
