HBCU Basketball: November 16-22





This would be a good year to see SU and LSU play each other. They are both much improved.
 
Two more great OOC wins for the SWAC so far with Valley starting off great against Air Force.

Alcorn ya'll need to step it up. sTu what's really going on?

Gram even though their size and experience took over the second half. You guys look much improved from the last game.
 
I don't think anyone is calling all of these SWAC non conference wins upsets. People are just excited to see the SWAC taking a step up talent, coaching and recruiting. In this era, the SWAC Championship beating the 7th place Sun Belt team is good news.


Technically, the "Lower Major" SWAC beating any major (ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC) and mid major plus (AAC, A-10, C-USA, MWC, WCC) program is considered an upset. Small upsets are bigger than others, but thats the game.

A SWAC win over a mid major (America East, CAA, Horizon, Metro, MAC, Mizzou Valley, Sun Belt) could be an upset depending on the team. Grambling beating Ball State would be an upset, but Texas Southern beating Ball State would be a notable win.
 



This is turning into a great year for SWAC basketball, good wins AAMU and SU, I literally had to take a deep breathe before typing those 2 letters, and Grambling has some size and scoring waiting to clear at the end of the semester and our leading PG is injured and should be back in the next 2-3 weeks. Walker is doing a great job at Grambling.

Yeah, the look better all around. They looked tough against ECU and in the first half vs Ohio State. I said it before, their new coach recruited his tail off.
 
USM/Tulane
Do we really need to have this conversation? Really.

JUST BECAUSE A SCHOOL IS A PWI AND THEY JUST HAPPEN TO BEAT YOUR SCHOOL DOESN'T MAKE THEM A MAJOR COLLEGE UPSET.

RPI has nothing to do with division I basketball categories for programs. Fans can for get excited after wins against major or mid major schools until the SWAC is to the level of having 3 bids in the NCAA.

Lol. The SWAC will never see those days. I actually like seeing us in the play n game. I want to see a SWAC program make a NIT, CBI or CTI tournament run as well.
