I don’t know what the record is for 20-win seasons between NCAA Tournament appearances is in the modern era, but whatever it was Tech has probably doubled it at this point

I agree.

The fact that they are even somewhat in the conversation is amazing.

The most recent and only team to represent Louisiana in March Madness last year, who is coincidentally nationally known as Louisiana Ragin Cajuns, still have a chance to secure a ticket to the big dance.

Until last night, Louisiana Tech was the best team in Louisiana. Tech was physically dominated for 3/4 of their game Thursday.

Louisiana basketball just sucks all around.

As a Cajun fan/alum, it sickens me that I'm actively hoping they flop in this tournament and then whatever talent we have left goes to Lake Charles..

Whatever it takes to get Bob Marlin and his sycophants out of town

Happen to know what's going on with Themus Fulks this time around? He's not with the team in P-cola. I love watching the guy play but it seems he's more drama than it's worth.

Just now seeing mcneese and Tex cc get 2 byes. I like it. Lions didn’t get a bye so have to play perfect but teams that sit don’t always have the advantage.

Still hope 3 la teams can get in but 1 still might be an over. March madness!

Believe he was intentionally left at home but it’s being called an “unspecified illness”. Dude refused to come off the bench after leading the conference in TOs and basically quit the team.

I wholeheartedly agree that it’s beyond time Big Fish Marlin goes but I can’t root against Kobe Julien

Lions can’t beat uno 3 times. Nichols, mcneese, uno still alive for a southland bid. Imo the southland records speak for themselves. I thought selu had a tough 9 and northwestern had some great athletes , however mcneese and Tex cc has stayed efficient. Nichols really impressed me in the beginning of conference and have great chance.

LSU has fought hard this year and has to get past miss st then tenn. If ward, Williams, Reed can hit some outside shots, teams can sleep on the tigers.

Still like tech, grambling\southern, all have to eat their wheaties this week. Can Tulane provide some March madness?

Tulane got a lot of external help to avoid the play-round, but faces North Texas who waxed them twice in the season.

We probably go one and done, but I think winning the tournament is at least possible because the American sucks

Louisiana Tech’s season just ended.

Poor free throw shooting
Poor offense
Poor everything

Lost to a really bad MTSU team.

As a old school Tech guy, I'm not surprised at all about last night's outcome.

ULM needs to fire Keith. His record is impressively sad at ULM.

There's a reason People don't care about Tech sports. It's like Chevy Chase, constantly stuck on the roundabout but never turning the corner.
