Karl benson should've had a warren Nolan window open on his cell phone for the last month and refreshed it 3 times a day. Warren something.

You too, huh?

Everyday. And 3 times after the game today until it updated.

3 times a day? For me it's 3 times an hour!

A part of me feels we're better suited as a ____ed off 9 seed....what do I know.

[campo118]

It is not record vs. RPI 150 that is important. It is reducing the # of losses vs. the RPI 150+ (bad losses) that is important ... Along with (secondarily) reducing the # of games played against this weaker tier of competition.

Case in point ... you may have seen me mention on several occasions the (5) bad losses Miami has and how it hurts their bid for a national seed.

But we haven't lost to any of these teams outside of UNO and Eastern Illinois so I don't understand the obsession?

Youngstown St. (16-36) just punched their ticket. 4 seed at the Tigue? Pretty please?

It is not an obsession ... but something to watch. Eastern Illinois moving into the RPI Top 150 would reduce the number of "bad losses" for the Cajuns from 2 to 1.

At this point yes. Although LSU losing will affect the Cajuns' RPI in a small negative way ... I would rather ensure that the Cajuns finish ahead of LSU in the RPI. A Cajun loss tomorrow and a couple of LSU wins ... and that might not happen (but still could). TCU, same thing. The worst case RPI ranking I see for the Cajuns is likely #10 ... as Rice would need a lot to fall in their favor to catch the Cajuns.

If Connecticut beats Temple today, Houston is finished in the AAC Tournament (loses the tiebreaker in their Pool to Connecticut). Thus, Houston would not be able to catch the Cajuns.

Brian

Temple 9-4 winner, but you guys probably knew that.

Brian,

The game between Virginia and Florida State has no bearing on the ACC Championship game, since Georgia Tech and Maryland are locked in, but do you think the winner of this game gets the higher seed in the NCAA tournament?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Higher than what?
