Ragin' Cajuns await NCAA fate

[NewsCopy]

It could be anywhere.

But either LSU-hosted Baton Rouge or Mississippi State-hosted Starkville, Miss., seem to be the two likeliest of 16 Regional sites for UL to play in when the NCAA announces its 64-team postseason baseball field this morning.

I'll be disappointed if we are in fact sent to Baton Rouge. I feel like with a top 25 Rpi and the record we have, to be sent to BR purely for proximity reasons would be a shame.

I feel rather certain that if the Cajuns had won the Sun Belt regular season title and had an RPI of about 17-19 (bubble team for #1 seed, but a #2 seed), that the Cajuns would not be going to Baton Rouge. They would be headed to Starkville.

It really could go either way ... and will depend on where other teams need to be slotted ... as well as how well the NCAA has thought this through. We know that sometimes they do not think things through ... like the year when they placed two teams from the same conference in the same regional (not 2002). I was stunned when I saw that come up on the screen.

Looks like they'll be announcing the remaining field on ESPNU in just a few minutes (11:00 am).

That Miss St regional is a beast

They just showed the 'Belt tied for 3rd with the PAC 12 with 4 teams in the Tourney. SEC has 9, ACC with 8.
