The Southland Conference Tournament is happening in Katy. Katy is somewhere near me. I don’t know where, exactly. Somewhere between here and Houston, I think. Not sure how far. Might try to go.
You remember Stephen F. Austin? Beat Duke? Thomas Walkup used to play there? Thomas Walkup was the guy with the huge beard back in 2016 who narrowly missed the NIT. Ok, you remember.
Stephen F. Austin’s the Southland’s NIT hope this week, but the league’s insistence on doing a double-stepladder (that’s a type of bracket, not a term from Urban Dictionary) has the odds low. Only two chances to lose, and neither is particularly strong. Still over 40%. But not great. They don’t play until Friday. But the tournament starts tonight.
