Their standings in the conference and NET ranking may look bad, but ULM has won 3 straight with wins at Arkansas State, at Little Rock, and Thursday at home over UTA. Definitely not a game we can take lightly, they're fulling capable of beating us if we play like garbage. I'm not sure there's much hope of Troy losing to Little Rock at home (wheels have completely fallen off for Little Rock), but Georgia State at App is an interesting game to keep an eye on, tips off an hour after us.

Big game. Keep the win streak going. We crushed them at Strahan a few weeks ago but pretty sure they were without a couple of their better players. With our four and their three game win streaks, it’s currently t1st and 3rd longest at the moment in conference.

 

[stlwildcats]

Up by one at half. 30-29. We were up five relatively early and them up as much as four as the half proceeded. Pretty ugly by both teams so far

 

[stlwildcats]

Chance to separate but offensive foul. Think bad call as the defender was moving into Morgan’s path. 56-48 3:10 left. ULM ball

 

[stlwildcats]

Now I think bad coaching decision. Leave Harrell and small on the bench for the offensive possession. You have two timeout; use one.

 

[stlwildcats]

Very nice win. Asberry never got it going but held them in the 50s where we didn’t need his points. Love Adams’ game his extra year. Improved FT stroke. Has a little floater that is almost automatic. Making 3s now, but still smartly not forcing them. Keep winning.

Nice win, nice streak. I saw we are bumped up to ESPN2 now for the final game of the season vs. Troy which should be fun.

 

[Bullcat]

Nice MBB and WBB sweep of the "Sportsman's Paradise" state.

Sports has giveth this week - no losses for the team sports.

App looks like they are going to drop this one to GSU. Sun belt looks wide open right now especially by playing Troy in the finale we mostly control our own regular season standings outcome

 

[franslasttwinkie]

UALR keeps things tied with Troy headed into half

 

[franslasttwinkie]

New standings. We could be stand alone 1st after tonight

I assume they are doing win % instead of game standings? App would be .5 game up if they do it by game

 

[_x_]

Yes, by win % since teams won't be playing the same amount of games due to cancelations. I didn't realize going into today we had a chance to catch App if we won and they lost, but apparently we did. 0.727 vs. 0.714 winning %.

Little Rock is up 55-51 in Troy right now with 6:42 left! I'm gonna remain skeptical they can pull it off but about to turn on the ending.

TCB for us today. Can't lose to ULM if you want to win a championship. No offense ULM...

 

[_x_]

Little Rock, last place in the league, 13.5 point underdogs on the road, and having lost 14 straight road games somehow beats Troy in Troy...

Your Bobcats are now leading the league boys and girls.

 

[stlwildcats]

Last place Little Rock held on to beat Troy @Troy. Wow. We are in first place with four games to go

 

[TXST]

Big win for the Bobcats! Shoutout to Georgia State and Little Rock for the big wins as well. Now let's hope we don't go full Bobcat and choke the remainder of the season.

South Alabama is putting it on Ark State. Next week we need to take care of business at home as the last two games on the road look tough. Thank me when the new TV deal comes out for watching these random #funbelt games.
