Kenneth Lofton Jr. makes the list for the Karl Malone Award. The C-USA preseason POY may be the best LA Tech hoopster since Malone (though Paul Millsap was pretty darn good too!).

Anyone else besides me going to the game today?
I wish. I can’t make it but I expect a very detailed post game player report on here from someone.
Same for me. Can’t make it, but want some good intel from someone.
Oh yeah, I have been waiting for some basketball.
Also, in run’s post above about the Karl Malone Award, I see that there is one CUSA nominee, one AAC nominee, and none from the Sun Belt–for those keeping score at home.
WKU freshman PG Zion Harmon on this Rothstein list:
Two make this CBS Sports “Top 101” college basketball players list - #54 Kenneth Lofton Jr. / LA Tech and #82 Taevion Kinsey / Marshall.
Grant McCasland / North Texas on this list:
UAB #8 on this list:
Jamarion Sharp of WKU on this Rothstein list:

Quite honestly, I think we should be trying for a top 100 finish this season. I think that’s a reasonable goal. Not an easy one… A reasonable one.
Kenneth Lofton Jr. / LA Tech #4 on the list of top non-Major 7 players, while Joe Golding / UTEP is touted as a coach on the rise. No C-USA teams make the cut.
Not gonna lie, this gave me chills. Shout out to the UAB marketing team.
In his preseason bracketology, Palm has LA Tech as a #12 seed vs #5 Florida State.
Our cheap ass marketing team needs to take notes.
