do you realize that was their first loss? the key is to look at the whole season, not a 1 game. I have backed this team about 5 times this season, and the Missouri St loss was their only one. They were picked to win the Sun Belt while Wright St has been dismantled by injuries, amongst other things this season.

ARK hasn't necesarily been winning by double digits though other than their season opener against Cal POLY. ARK LR is clearly the better team no doubt about that, and home court is also huge. Wright State shoots 18% from the 3-point line while allowing their opponents to shoot 40% from outside the arc. Wright State also shoots 65% from the FT line as a team. Wright State's strengths are less turnovers than their opponents, blocking shots, and getting steals. Wright State is missing their leading scorer Vaughn Duggins, and two of their bench players (who also get some playing time) are also out for this game. ARK has no injuries.
Why does StatFox show that Ark LR should only win by 3 tonight? Giving the edge to Wright State? I know they only hit at 50% or so for those edge plays but its weird to make a big deal out of it instead of just putting ARK would win by 9.

I do realize this but when you put up 37 points against a team like missouri state i lose a little faith...when you score 14 points in a half, i lose a little faith... these guys don't really beat anyone by all that much, they beat powerhouse 1-7 pepperdine by 1 point..
It's still probably the best play possible today and it will probably cover i'm just saying UALR is nothing special
Another bit of disconcerting news is the recent line movement! :shocked:

I'm being my "usual" Baske Case self by fretting, but this development surely can't be a good sign, right? :think2:
I have several hours to ponder what to do with this play. Either stay the course or bail. Decisions, decsions. :smoking:
