Log5 Part 4: Get to know Arkansas State
by Ken Pomeroy on Monday, March 5, 2012
This is part four of the log5 conference tournament previews. Yesterday, Arkansas State ripped the heart out of LaRon Dendy and Middle Tennessee in the Sun Belt quarterfinals, 64-61. The ninth-seeded Red Wolves appearance in the semifinals was given a 5.3% chance of happening before Sun Belt festivities started, a new standard for improbability during tournament season. The 3, 5, 7, and 9 seeds are in the Sun Belt semis, so there’s the potential for lower chances to be realized yet.
Here’s another dump of log5’s for tournaments beginning this week. I’ll pick up the stragglers tomorrow.
