Regional?

[jjlouv]

I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks about this... Of course my opinion will be bias, but I gotta believe that with the third best record in the entire NCAA, and the #2 out of conference RPI, a regional is just about a guarantee! A sweep of the SB tourney should wrap up a national seed, any thoughts??

Yes, there are thoughts. Please see one of the, probably 500, posts on this topic.

I agree. I don't totally understand how the regional spots are picked but it would be ashame if this team does not get to host.

GoneGolfin DOES totally understand the process. Search through his posts and you will learn what has to happen for the Lady Cajuns to host. See you at Lamson Park!!!

I just can't see a scenario where we don't host... Can't wait!

This will test Scott Farmers ability to influence, even when not in the room.

Just facilities should give UL extra consideration.

I can't count how many times in the past lack of "facilities" were given as an excuse for not hosting.

Time for a double reward.

Quality of facilities will not provide any extra consideration. All that is required is that you meet the minimum hosting requirements.

Lack of facilities was not a reason for not hosting in the past. Performance on the field as judged by the selection committee (meaning RPI) was the reason. Also a past consideration for a few teams on the bubble of a #1 seed ... a few charity host spots went to #2/#3 seeds. That supposedly will not be the case this season.

Turns out it was the that the facilities were not adequate by NCAA standards in the recent past. It was not that they were not nice enough. Cal Berkley is scrambling to put together a temporary upgrade so they don't have to be the number one national seed on the road, and a national seed on the road for the second time in two years according to ESPNU today.

We have met the minimum facilities and a lot more, but now I think it is a lot more about being considered good enough.

The only case for not having the facilities was when the old press box was torn down and the new lamson park was going up during the 2010 season.

Other than that, Brian is right.

Had the Cajuns been worthy of a #1 seed in 2010, they could have easily constructed a temporary press box (as Cal is doing this week or next). The Cajuns had an RPI rank of 29 at selection time in 2010. That will not merit a host site in the South.

After hosting in 2002 a former AD stated (I think 2005) UL was overlooked due to facilities.
