BB Final: Louisiana 2, SLU 0

[MelRock]

Right now, six Sun Belt Conference teams are in the top 75 of the RPI. But yes, in my opinion, it is way too early to be looking at RPI. Just win!

The more you can have "up there" when conference play starts the more of a "lock-in" you have.

Now that the conference as grown, 6 is probably not as good as it needs to be but still better than in the past.

I know what Max is capable of, but man how long will we ride a .164 and 25 strike out guy? Let someone else sniff the field.

We did see a kid that was in the battle for third at first last night go 2 for 4 with a walk. On base 3 of 4. Put him on 3rd and Zambo back at first?

Hes was a defensive replacement last weekend as well.

He came in both times when they switched pitchers. Lefty righty thing.

Funny how everyone says that the quality of baseball in the state is so good. And you dont have to travel very far to play a quality opponent and get your butt kicked. But i have not seen a team we play consistently that helps our rpi other than LSU.

Southeastern is a 35+ win team almost every year

And? How does that help our RPI. A good team…yes. Dont mean they have a good RPI.

Winning percentage is how rpi is calculated.

Can we get Gonegolfin to explain rpi and sticky it at the beginning of every baseball season?

Louisiana teams this year have bad to terrible RPI. Only LSU and UL are in top 100

This weekend is USA > 220 RPI.....just 1 loss to them will drop our RPI bigly. Need to sweep.

If we played 3 games against USA and 3 games against LSU, both on the road, it doesn’t not matter who we won or lost to. 4-2 in those games is the same RPI regardless of who the wins were against.

Does it matter to the committee? Yes, it’s a factor. But who the wins and losses are against has zero affect on the RPI value or ranking.

Edit: even a single loss to St. Peter’s wouldn’t have mattered. Playing them 3 times is what hurt.
