With the open base, I was thinking that Coach Ostrander was going to give Debarge the intentional pass. Yes, there was only one out and it would have loaded the bases. But it is Kyle Debarge ... and...

... and they did move past USM, up to #50.

Rice just walked-off a decent UTSA team in the B10th on a 1-out safety squeeze. 9-8 final. This win (just like Tulane beating Wichita State tonight) helps the Cajuns. They may move past Southern Miss...

That is not the RPI ... that is the NCAA attempting to put lipstick on the RPI by introducing the Quartile metrics. These Q metrics are arbitrary and absurd.

And that win tonight was a Q3 win for the Cajuns.

Ridiculous.

Precisely. This is a very difficult stretch of conference games. Meanwhile, the Cajuns are a very respectable 2-2 against Coastal and Southern Miss thus far. I will certainly take that.

Are you saying that it could not happen to a better group of ball players? :D

The Cajuns had their resolve tested and their leaders responded. Hats off to Herrmann for a very impressive outing on the hill against this USM team. Debo comes up clutch and the batters did their...

This is where the Cajuns need to make their move. Top of the order up ... 12 outs remaining at the plate ... Langevin is ready for the 7th ... and the Cajuns navigated the top of USM's lineup in the...

Colorado State moving into the Base RPI Top 75 through yesterday's games is the reason the Cajuns jumped one spot in the RPI rankings (yesterday to today). Of course, Colorado State can just as...

Yes, the committee would look at conference strength overall, absolutely.

Since the new 64-team tournament format commenced in 1999, only 5 of 24 Sun Belt champions (regular season conference...

Correct. This has been part of the selection criteria since I began tracking this stuff ... late 80's. All at-large teams must have winning records.

I mentioned elsewhere that both Louisiana and LSU hosted regionals in 2014 and 2016. Being 60 miles down the road from each has never been a reason why one of the schools did not host a regional. It...

Only hard to believe if you believe that the RPI is a good arbiter of strength. You can game the RPI system to have a very high RPI without actually having proved that you can beat those peer teams...
