Polls arent factored into selections

This may be the case, but it still a ____ty way to end the season for our girls.

Agree. When you have two Top 20 teams facing off in a heated matchup, a game can definitely go either way. 2 out of 3 is fair.

LSU beats us again today, I'm satisfied that we at least got three shots at them.

That is easy. Polls have nothing to do with NCAA seedings. LSU had a stronger RPI than the Cajuns which is a large part of their decision making (although very flawed). Cajuns RPI ended up at #17.

Updated their article:

UPDATE: This morning on ESPN1420’s Thinking Out Loud, Steve Peloquin said an NCAA rep in Baton Rouge informed him today’s game between the Cajuns and Tigers must be complete by 11:00pm.
According to the rep, unlike the previous days of the Regional when first pitch was required to take place prior to 11:00 pm, today the game is required to be finished by then.
However, this is a direct contradiction to the NCAA rule which only states a contest must begin before 11:00pm. The NCAA hasn’t been known to legislate end times, only start times.

" Unlike the previous days of the Regional when first pitch was required to take place prior to 11:00 pm, today the game is required to be finished by then, per NCAA rule."

Prather has updated his article noting the NCAA rule does not align with what was told to Scott.

The S&M, cynical side of me wants to see the game rained out and have us get screwed. Though I want our Lady Cajuns to win badly, at least it removes the risk of being ridiculed over a potential tough loss...do I need to seek medical help?

Did Scott update this? Looks like the verbiage I texted him. :-)

Lifting the tarp at Tiger Park. It looks like we will indeed begin at 1:04 pm
