Yes he and Cor-J Cox may have a future in the NBA.The Delta Devils are one of three teams with unblemished conference marks as you probably know.When ESPN does that yearly 3PT SHOOTING/DUNK CONTEST they should be invited.They played JSU last monday on ESPNU and won 78-69.Got anyone as defenders who can stick with them?

I have Valley going on to the big show looks like their yr to shine this will be a NBA type audition for Cox&Crosby.

How is having a league that had what, three non-con DI wins getting a playin game a screw job? Want to avoid the play in game? Get better teams.

Any team that has to win 17 league games to get to 18 overall wins should be in the play in game. Besides since the first four was created, I don't see the P.I.G. as being a stigma.

Well the commissioners of both the MEAC/SWAC felt both leagues were being targeted.

Norfolk State is the only HBCU with a winning non-conference record - no other conference have such a pathetic resume.

Truth. Although some have to run the gauntlet of BCS powers to balance the athletic budget, but when DSU loses to Gardner-Webb in the midst of an 8 game conference win streak then questions need to be answered.

Not to mention the fact that Norfolk LOST to Elizabeth City State AT HOME this year

Until things fundamentally change, you will more or less ALWAYS see a MEAC or SWAC team in the play-in game. (But never against each other)

The problem with that is when these small schools have success playing these D1 powers and when they wish to renew the contract these big schools opt out using lame excuses ask Jackson St this happened to them although it was in the early 90's.Point taken about losing to small schools in your backyard shouldn't happen.Also the term cupcake is used against these big schools if they play smaller programs so both sides suffer.

I thought that A&M had Prairie View by it instead they have a decent squad.Speaking of AAMU does their center Justin Banks get enough playing time granted he at 7-0 215 is a complete stick but can he block shots and they have a 6-10 forward as well.JSU playing slow down hoops never thought I would see this from them.

both those teams are young, JSU has some playeres but they have no depth, I remember Southern beat em 48-47 or something like that.

Those young guys should have been made starters for reasons of experience.

Hope Alabama A&M start to dominate the SWAC too much talent not to dominate maybe they will see Jackson St in the tournament finals next season both have too much height.
