Evan Miya’s (@EvanMiya) 2026 preseason ceiling and floor outcomes for the Southland Conference MBB👇
Halftime in the Piney Woods as Sam Houston goes on a run to cut the deficit to 5 at the half. SFA just 1 of their last 8 shots
Still the Jacks lead 42-37
Sam Houston has made 4 FGs (4-23 | 17%) in the first 15 minutes of this scrimmage but has managed to stay alive at the free-throw line, shooting 12-16
SFA leads 36-21
Southland Sports Report score predictions for Saturday's games:
Nicholls at Northwestern State | 41-30, Nicholls

McNeese at Incarnate Word | 38-20, UIW
Southeastern at Stephen F. Austin | 35-24, SFA
Prairie View at East Texas A&M | 26-23, PVAMU
I'm begging to just make this a regular season thing. I assume it's Sam Houston not wanting to?
Old rivalry. New chapter. 🏀🔥

It was used at Lamar in a fall ball scrimmage. This is what it looked like

So the way it has been explained to me is schools will use the ABS built within trackman.
I can confirm at Lamar they have been using it in home fall games. If a team does not have a Videoboard then umpires will get the results of the challenge but no visual will be provided.
At Lamar visual will be provided to those in attendance.
Actually very excited for this but I wonder how this is going to work?
Sources: @SouthlandSports has approved the experimental use of the ABS Challenge system for conference play in the regular season, and in the conference tournament beginning in 2027, I’m told. Schools will handle regular season costs, conference the league tourney costs. The hope is that every school participates.
