College Basketball: Texas State finds place in recent Bracketology

According to ESPN's Joe Lunardi, Texas State is the favorite to earn the Southland Conference's bid to the NCAA Tournament. Lunardi released his recent "Bracketology" report this afternoon.

The Bobcats would play Florida Atlantic in the first round play-in game and if they won, Texas State would tangle with Ohio State.

College Basketball: Davalos sounds off

Talked with Texas State head coach Doug Davalos this afternoon about his team's recent success and senior forward Tony Bishop. Eventually the topic about Bishop NOT being named Southland Conference Player of the Week came up and this is what Davalos had to say...

"The guy they gave it to (Devon Baker) had a good week, but it was all offensive," Davalos said. "He’s the worst defensive player in the conference but they gave it to that guy, because he scored."

Baker averaged 24 points per game last week to lead Northwestern State to a pair of wins.

Bishop put up 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds Wednesday night against Central Arkansas, so another big performance Saturday afternoon against Texas-Arlington might put him in line for the award.

College Basketball: A Graphical Representation

StatSheet.com does a great job of putting together pages for each team in Division I with graphical representations of who leads said team in each category. As you can tell for the Bobcats, it's pretty close to being equal across the board in several categories.

Here is the list of signed recruits from the Texas State web site.

Here's a quote from new Texas State offensive line coach Dennis Darnell on his recruits — "We don't have any of what people call, 'hogs,' or those who just line up and can only run straight at you. We have some athletic kids with great strength backgrounds. We want to have the strongest line in the state. We're not there yet, but we will get there."

Here's a quote from new Texas State defensive coordinator Craig Naivar on the defensive recruits — "Tylond Robertson and David Mims really stood out to us on tape. Those guys have an immediate ‘It’ factor and speed off the edge but every single one of these guys can play."
