if you been ridin WKU all year you had some rough patches....i was on them early jumped off for a while as they really struggled with injury and bad play for a while but have been hitting them up every game the last month as you could just tell when they flipped the switch to get in conf tourney mode....whats the future look like on them winning this thing? i still feel like they the class of this conf
first of all I havnt seen Troy play one game all year and there the 1 seed so Im gonna be looking at straight stats for them. Do you no anything about Troy?
AJ SLAUGHTER is in his senior year hes been to the dance twice already with Courtney Lee and Orlando Mendez Valdez he will not let his season go with out making the tourney he is gonna do everything in his power to make sure they win the Conference. And WKU is the class of the Sunbelt Defiantly
seeding doesnt mean shit in this conf as troy is not even on WKU level...kenpom seems to agree as kenpom rates WKU way higher than any of the other teams....troy has been hot as of late and they will only be playing there second game as opposed to wku's 3rd when they meet but this works out ok imo as they better off letting n.tex and mid ten st fight it out on the other side if those 2 in fact hold up in the early going
