Recent history in Jonesboro: It’s been feast or near famine the past four years. The Commodores were team champions in 2011 and 2012 before placing fourth in 2013 and sagging to seventh one year ago. The event typically draws many of the best teams in NCAA Bowling and this year’s field is no exception.
