The Southland Conference trolled Michigan with Connor Stalions joke after McNeese upset

We saw one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season on Friday night as McNeese — led by former LSU coach Will Wade, who was fired as a result of NCAA allegations against the program — delivered a stunning upset against Juwan Howard and Michigan, which fell to 6-7 on the season with the loss.

The Southland Conference, home to the Cowboys, took to the opportunity to get a jab in at the Wolverines’ expense. The league posted an edited image on social media that featured Connor Stalions, the former Michigan football staffer at the center of the alleged sign-stealing scandal, with the caption “Not even Connor Stalions could save you.”

Wade was hit with a two-year show-cause for his involvement in the recruiting violations at LSU, and he was suspended for the first 10 games of the season. In spite of that, the Cowboys sit at 11-2 on the year with the best record in the Southland by a wide margin.

Losing a buy game at home is one thing. But having that team’s league absolutely clown you on Twitter after the fact?

That’s just brutal.
