NSU not worried with Southland's divisional dominance
By Jeff Matthews • jmatthews@thetowntalk.com • May 17, 2008

West is best in the Southland Conference. At least, it has been.


In the two years since the SLC split into divisions, the West has clearly had the upper hand.

In the four divisional sports -- baseball, men's and women's basketball and volleyball -- eight overall championships have been decided the last two years. Six have gone to West teams, with two shared between East and West teams. West teams have won all seven postseason tournaments in those sports (the 2008 baseball tournament is next week)...

Of course, UCA is in transition and these sprots are certainly among those with the largest adjustment to D1.........SLC/East gets stronger as UCA completes the transition in these sports.......still a ways to go for UCA but making progress or at least geared up to go (e.g., Matt Daniel's new SugarBears).....West should always have a recruiting edge with Teaxas high schools...then again, smart money at ESPN this season was for NL/Central to be worst division in MLB......not hardly...probably means coaches and players can make a difference.....
