Wait? They are blaming the loss on the weather in iowa?

Global warming, climate change, old fashion back yard whooping, it's all the same. Too much corn mash I'd say.

Their fans were generally amazed at what our forwards did to their bigs.

I think that was the most impressive part. Miller, Gant, Bryce just outworked and outplayed their big guys. I loved the fight they showed against guys that were much bigger.

"Louisiana-Laughatit is RPI-125.
Iowa is RPI-228 because of 3 RPI-325+ games/wins.

Better team won because Iowa hadn’t been tested by good competition in the first three games. It would be a different game in February. This is November"

Yeah, okay, I'm sure the Cajuns won't improve by February.

Just noticed that Warren Nolan.com has us listed as Louisiana.

Iowa has butt hurt. This was a nice win for the Cajuns. Geaux Cajuns!

Which is colder so far Cincinnati or Buffalo? Is it too late to place a bet

Wyoming will be a better test than Iowa. It is too early for RPI to mean much, but the Cowboys are at 17, Cajuns are now at 45. Wyoming has a nice win over Oregon State (28 RPI) and a solid win over S. Dakota State (122 RPI).

If we beat Wyoming, I expect our RPI to be in the 20's. It won't stay there long, as we play 3 or 4 200+ RPI schools in a row after this tournament.

Obviously I'd like to see us beat Wyoming and then get a shot at still #12 Cincy on a neutral court. As others have pointed out, we need to make hay with every neutral court appearance but playing any of these guys at home is brutal.
