Right now there are 6 other auto-bids [America East, Big West, MEAC, Patriot, Southland and SWAC] guaranteed to have champions with worse NET than ours. That gives us 5 #16, 4 #15 and 2 #14, making us a lock for a 14th seed.

To get a 13th seed, we need upsets in at least two other conferences. Of the remaining conferences only two have only one team with a better NET than us, so keep your fingers crossed.

Spot on.

That's some good info....

If its Tennesse, when we played them in the NCAA, Jordon's dad was on the team. That would be a nice tidbit.

True for the first meeting and a lot of people have forgotten that game. Which is understandable since it was 40 years ago LOL.

UL made it in as an At-Large, which brought Coach Paschal to tears...

That was in the heels of a beat down in Milwaukee. Shows the respect the program had back then.

…..and don’t forget some horrible calls in that game!

It’s time that we shake some ____ up around here. I’m with DaBoot. Sweet 16 let’s Geaux!!

If the refs allow Orion Green to play that day Cajuns win that one. They handcuffed him though.

Side notes…along with Tech on a 30!something year run with no tournament, did you know TSATB has only won ONE SEC tournament and auto bid in the modern age (Power conference at larges the rest). And speaking of TSATB, according to the McLeast site, WW has been offered their opening.

Yeah, they’re buying out the last coach’s final year for 165k. Those guys love LSU sloppy seconds a lot.

it would be nice if all schools with “state” in the name were in the “state” university system…. theyd be so much happier could probably even get matching uniforms

They got booted out the LSU system. In fact, every 4 year university in the state, except for UL and Tech and the HBCUs were once part of the LSU system. That’s why they all have LSU love. It’s a generational hook.

That was specifically done to stop the other schools from growing.

Ah, LSUE for a long time was EWE’s country club when he was in Crowley

Watch Bradley get an at large, AD is chairman of the selection committee. NET 74, didn’t win tournament. Guaranteed NIT.

Last I saw had us in Greensboro against Tennessee but with the other teams. I like that matchup

Sent to me from a friend-

List of who to root for/against this week:

MAC: want anyone to get bid except Toledo or Kent State

WAC: anyone but Sam Houston or Utah Valley

Ivy: Anyone but Yale

A10: anyone but VCU

MAAC: anyone but Iona

That’s our best chance for a 13
