The loss today eliminates Marshall from the regular season title race. Cajuns' magic number is 1.
South Alabama vs. Troy and Texas State vs. James Madison are critical for the Cajuns to have company in the NCAA tournament.
Top 25 rpi watch: #30 Mississippi, #33 Central Florida, #35 Indiana
Ole Miss - takes 1 from Florida, drops the other 2. Minimal improvement, if any. Closes regular season at home vs. Alabama.
UCF - 3-0 on the week, all 3 against Houston (19-24), closes out at Memphis (8-36). Not good.
Indiana - 3-0, all against #32 Michigan (24-18). Hoosiers finish at home against last place Michigan State. They are 2nd in the Big Ten behind Northwestern. They are likely the best chance of getting the 3rd top 25 win.
The new rpi rankings will be out tomorrow, I'll probably do an analysis of our hosting chances after I post them.
