Sunbelt on MAC 2017-18 hoops.

It's a two for one deal as I get my  the O5 hoop predictions wrapped up before Xmas:

Georgia St.- Simonds, an excellent PG , needs a scorer to assist.
Texas St.- King , Prijovic -who knows

1/29/18

REGULAR SEASON

May 30, 2018 : I'm not digging the #Cusa hoop scheduling change in which the top five teams in the league will play each other for the final four conference games, as will teams seeded 6-10 and teams seeded 11-14. Yes, I think the #cusa get shorted on dance tickets, but gearing everything toward the RPI metrics and having some teams face each other three times in the reular season  borders on bizarre.
June 22, 2018
#mitchell robinson of #wku went to the Knicks in rd2. Only #cusa player taken.
July 1, 2018
#UAB- #ChrisCokely averaged 17 pts, 9 reb in his senior and the #charlottehornets signed him as a UFA
