MBB Final: Louisiana 100, UT Arlington 79

Overlooked that completely. Marlin is absolutely the coach or the year.

Have to second that.
What were the Cajuns picked to finish at the start of the season, 4th, 5th?

Best most complete performance I've witnessed by a Cajun team in a long time.

5th, behind UTA the Georgia schools and Troy.

So much for smart insightful coaches preseason polls. Looking like the only teams they might get right is second and third, and that's a long way from settled.

Or fans predictions. No one envisioned a season like this. If we play close to how we did yesterday, we will roll through the SBC tournament. What a well played game by the Cajuns.

RPI at 41 now. Surprisingly it continues to rise.

A question. I know the NCAA loves to give middle-of-the-conference P5's at-large bids, but is it still beyond the realm of possibility that if we win-out the regular season and make it to the Belt tournament finals before losing that game, that we'd get an at-large?

I would imagine at that point our RPI would be somewhere in the 30's.

Let's hope that does not happen.
32 teams gain automatic entry through winning their conference's championship. The remaining teams (36) rely on the selection committee to award them an at-large bid in the tournament. Total of 68 teams in the NCAA tourney.
It would not surprise me if they would leave us out. I would say we would have at least a shot at an at large. 30s is a pretty darn good RPI, but now with this P5 and G5 classification and so much more money involved now, I am sure they will select P5 schools.

Obviously, I want to see us win the post-season tourney with a nice winning streak and secure the highest seed possible in the Big Dance. I was just wondering at what point is the NCAA shamed into giving a conference like the Belt two bids.

Doesn't surprise me.....no one knew how good the 3 transfer players would be.

Best play in the cajundome in the last decade was Frank Bartley's "In Yo Face" dunk on
Hervey!

Left handed
