• McNeese has posted a perfect 13-0 record in the Legacy Center this season and is one of 20 teams in the nation to post an unbeaten home record so far this season and in good company with eight of those teams ranked in the AP Top 25 (No. 1 UConn, No. 2 Houston, No. 3 Purdue, No. 4 Arizona, No. 6 Iowa State, No. 9 Kansas, No. 16 Dayton, No. 19 San Diego State, Wake Forest, UC Irvine, Cornell, Princeton, Akron, Norfolk State, Drake, Samford, Southern, Appalachian State, Grand Canyon.

• The 13 wins is already the most in a season played in the Legacy Center while the overall home record for wins is 15 (1985-86, 2010-11).

• McNeese has recorded four sellouts on the season, a school record, and is expecting its fifth on Saturday vs. UIW.

• Through all home games, McNeese is averaging 3,248 attendance, ranking in the top 15% in the nation in capacity percentage at 77% full.

• Through six home Southland Conference games, McNeese is averaging 3,995 fans, a 95% capacity rate.

• The Cowboys are outscoring their opponents by an average score of 85.8-58.1 (+27.7) and in SLC games only, an average advantage of 84.0-63.7 (+20.3).

• McNeese has scored 70 or more in all six home league games and 80 or more three times (high of 102 vs. New Orleans).

Honestly that’s pretty impressive if they can sell out for a game against an 8-18 team

The McNeese State magic number for clinching the Southland Conference regular season title is 3!

Is it possible for McNeese to match up with Alabama in the tournament?

That might break the website.

If Bama can make it to the Sweet 16 they might get their shot.

Would be epic watching them take down Bama but pretty unlikely. McNeese has a ceiling of being a 12 seed which would match up with the 5 seed. Seems unlikely Bama isn't a top 4 seed

You know a 12 seed would match up with a 4 seed in the round of 32, don’t you?

Anyway, the most likely matchup of those two would be McNeese as a 13 and Bama as a 4.

Please give me McNeese vs Kentucky! If Wade takes out Cal, Forde might eat a bullet…

Of course. But Bama most likely is getting bounced in the first round so that isn't likely either
