There are several reasons to participate in the men's tournament at the 2025 Southland Conference.
Many of these reasons start in the state of McNeece.
You probably know what Wade's tenure will be like. LSU It's over. However, he has only had a win since taking over as head coach for Cowboys Wade. McNeece finished 22-2 before the season and competed in the men's tournament as a Southland Conference winner.
This year, the Cowboys are on track to return to the tournament. They are taking part in conference tournaments with another strong regular season record. The Cowboys combined regular season 25-6 with a 19-1 meeting record. These six losses include an 8-point loss of NO at the time. 2 Alabama and 3 points loss at the time. 25 Mississippi.
Both Alabama and Mississippi are still ranked in the top 25.
Then there's a roster led by a trio of Jabon Garcia, honest Parker and DJ Richards Jr., who average 10 points per game. But this is a deep roster. This is because the Cowboys average 9 players per game for at least 15 minutes.
To sum this all together, there are teams with tournament resumes. The Cowboys ranked 60th Latest online rankingsand 58th place in Kenpom. That might be enough Put them in the dance If they haven't reached the title of the meeting, and a loss from the Cowboys might have a bubble team worried about their choice on Sunday.
