YYYYeeessss! At 16-3 on NCAA RPI #74! After all the games have played out and our now 17-3 record, where might Louisiana land?

Daddy, as mentioned in other threads RPI is no longer as important as it once was and in another year it will matter very little. BPI, Sagarin, and Pomeroy rankings now as important as RPI. BPI especially is one to watch. Generally we rank 20 to 25 slots better with BPI than RPI. Not sure where we are there now.

Cajun out of conference had successful nights. I'll list the losers. Ole Miss, Iowa, Here's a few winners. Savanna State, Richmond, SLC Opponents, LTU, Clemson, Wyoming leads late.

Wyoming won and Ole Miss lost by 4 on the road Nicholls did not play and they lead SLC with a 6 and 1 record.

Oh no. We can't possibly rank that high. Not with our schedule. Nooooooooooo. Can't happen. Let's all call Marlin names and point a finger at him.

Sarcasm off.

[HOUCajun]

If the Cajuns finish with 4 losses and win the conference tourney are they a 12 seed?

[talktomewillis]

You never know what the committee will do. But I think there's a good chance, yes.
