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.
