Bracketology: LA vs TN (Orlando)

[JayWalker]

I really don't care. BUT.....Bracketalogy is 10000 times more fun when the Cajuns are part of it!!

Boy, no kidding.

I"m thinking we'll be a 14. We were a 14 the last three times we went (vs. NCSU, Louisville, Creighton.) A couple of tournament upsets could perhaps get us to 13. We'll see as the week unfolds.

I thought Louisiana was a 12 vs Tennessee.

Thanks

Correct another misconception, in 82 and 83 was an 8-Seed the lowest seed, or were there 12 then?

12

14th seed vs Tennessee in Greensboro

13th seed vs Xavier in Orlando

If the Greensboro scenario were to play out, DaBoot might actually a chance at being right about his sweet 16 predictions. Get past UT who lost their best guard to an ACL last week and I'd like our chances against Creighton or either of the play in game teams.

Think we were a 13 in 2005. Travesty was that we met Louisville, and they were under-seeded as a 4. They went on to Final Four.

Correct. I remember Pitino making comments about not only them being under seeded but also having to play us as he thought we deserved better than a 13. He gave us much respect and turned out to be correct. We gave them all they wanted and more. Just another coulda woulda shoulda in close tournament games. It’s time that we shake some schitt up around here. I’m with DaBoot. Sweet 16 let’s Geaux!!

A #13 seed probably our ceiling this year. Hope it happens.

Wow, four conferences have their tournaments in Las Vegas, and that is not counting any conferences that have completed their tournaments.

This time of year is SO MUCH MORE FUN when we are in it!

GEAUX CAJUNS!

So far, with 11 conferences decided, there are 5 champions with NET scores worse than the Cajuns. Assuming that at these levels seeding will be determined by NET score, we need 13 champions with NET scores worse than ours to secure a 13 seed [5 16th, 4 15th and 4 14th]. Right now there are 6 other auto-bids [America East, Big West, MEAC, Patriot, Southland and SWAC] guaranteed to have champions with worse NET than ours. That gives us 5 #16, 4 #15 and 2 #14, making us a lock for a 14th seed.

To get a 13th seed, we need upsets in at least two other conferences. Of the remaining conferences only two have only one team with a better NET than us, so keep your fingers crossed.
