Personally, I think they left a few SBC team off the list that definitely deserve to be on it but I'm really happy ULM finally has a team they can be proud of.

Game article MU @ JMU

With the win @ JMU, Marshall should make their initial appearance in this poll very soon.

Give Marshall's coach 2 recruiting classes and the top 25 will be a regular deal. She is awesome!

I was pretty surprised they weren't already in it to be honest. Maybe they didn't think their schedule was strong enough or something else I guess. But yes, they should certainly be in after this W.

Schedule was mostly set already but we did play Wake, who turned out to be blah, and beat Florida. I imagine our coach will have more input on future scheduling with the goal of beefing up the resume for winning seasons. We're still kind of new at having women's sports and Olympic sports being somewhat competitive so we didn't schedule around being contenders. Like softball, for instance. Caught a lot of flack for last year's schedule, but this year is as tough as anyone's. We're just changing philosophies and it takes a second due to the nature of scheduling in advance.

Yes it is, congrats all!

Brutal. A sport ULM is actually shining in this year and it is titty-basketball. Rough year!

FIFY - Get it right a****le!

ULM has won something like 9 Sun Belt games in the last 5-6 years combined and they've got 7 so far this year.

10 conference wins in the last 6 seasons. Feel pretty confident we'll match that number with several games left on the schedule.
