With six games remaining in the season, the ULM men’s basketball team soon begins the ultimate test of toughness and character. The Warhawks have been the Sun Belt oddity through the first 12 games in conference action. ULM is the only team in the Sun Belt with a losing record overall (11-14) but a winning conference record (7-5). Even after a loss on Saturday, ULM still has the third-best record in the Sun Belt.
The four games after this Thursday’s meeting with Appalachian State will show how resilient the Warhawks truly are. They have back-to-back-to-back bus rides to Southern Miss, ULL and South Alabama before returning home to face Troy.
