Win the East Division title, or win the SBC Tournament, and I'll take a piece of humble pie. Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up. I already did that, and was left disappointed. Just like football. Just like men's basketball. That wouldn't even be enough for me. Remember the year Cunningham got the basketball team to the NCAA tourney? It was the worst year of Sun Belt basketball ever, as I recall. Even if he wins the tourney, the SBC will start improving next year and our team won't improve with them, and they may get worse. Kinda like another Troy team I can think of... just another "glass half empty" "fan" observation.... meh.

Well, your recollection is not very good. Conference RPI is at No. 9 right now, higher than 2019, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012 and the same as 2018. But facts, who needs them! How did the basketball team do the next year?

How about this point? One day Smartt's apologists will run out of excuses - just like (The HC we don’t speak of) apologists - and by then the rebuild required will be monumental.
I forgot, you don't need excuses when you're happy with hovering around .500.

Positives from the weekend- We swept Coastal Carolina who was a Nat Champ a few years ago. Hit the ball very well and scored runs
Negatives- Coastal is not very good this year. Barely .500 coming in and below .500 in conference play. We are also giving up a lot of runs. It will get hard to keep winning games having to score 8-10 runs to win.
Let's see how we do against LA LA and then the tourney

I enjoyed the wins this weekend. Winning is fun. Losing is not fun. I don’t really enjoy losing. I will celebrate the wins. I won’t cry over the losses.

It appears the Mighty Trojans have found their stride at the right time of the season. If we can keep up this momentum, then it could be an interesting Sun Belt Tournament. Go TROY!

I forgot, you don't need excuses when you're happy with hovering around .500. Have not noticed anyone here apologizing for mediocre performance, baseball or football. Let's face it losing sux. But negativity ad neasuem on a message board does little to promote improvement or support change.

Anyway, I hope everyone has their fingers crossed for the tourney because we're never going to get close to a regular season championship with Smartt. I'm done.

Is a game out of first place overall in the league good enough for y’all?

Is a game out of first place overall in the league good enough for y’all? That is nice but let's face it, the conference is not good this year. 12 teams and only 5 over .500 and two of those are barely .500. The best record is USA with a .591 record. If we can finish off strong with a sweep or series win over ULL then we might have a shot at the tourney. We will not get a at large bid so we need to win the tourney
