Like everybody else in the LU community, I'm thrilled the men are back battling for conference titles. But let's be honest, winning a regular season title does nothing more than fill a few square feet on the wall for a banner.
Let's hope the terrific run the Flames have been having in the BSC will give them some momentum to win the tourney and get back in the Big Dance. Well, at least the play-in game in Dayton. Most everybody I've talked to indicates the winner of the Big South Tourney will face the SWAC winner in the play-in game. Frankly, I wouldn't mind our guys playing in Dayton. A win in that game would give the program a shot in the arm to have won their first ever NCAA Tourney game similar to what the baseball guys managed a couple of years back.
Considering how bad it was just a couple of years ago, to be in this position is pretty heady stuff right ... sad, but true.
