Eric Lopez Regional SB Predictions.

[JMV JustMyView]

What ever happened to anyone, anywhere, anytime?

Let’s host! It allows our fans to pack our stadium and give our girls the support they need. You can’t win a championship without beating great teams. You never know what could happen. That’s why they play the game. I don’t understand the mindset of taking the path of least resistance. You want to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best!

LET’S HOST!!

…or would you want the girls to roll over and drop a game or two to ensure they don’t host?

If we do host and Eric is correct, the Lafayette regional would be these teams.

#1 seed Cajuns
#2 seed Baylor
#3 seed Mississippi State
#4 seed Delaware

After this weekend the projections could shift again, and once the conference tournament has teams win that weren't projected to win that will throw another curveball.

D1 Softball projects us to BR with McNeese and Binghampton, paired with Tuscaloosa with Ohio State, Ohio and Central Arkansas.

I actually like this projection if we don't host. This setup presents a very real possibility of a UL-UCA super regional in Lafayette, and we are certainly capable of beating everyone in both paired regions.

If we do that we will be 7-0 the rest of the way. The problem with that only 2 games will actually help rpi wise. So really the remaining games are irrelevant. We need 1 of the 3 teams that we beat that are right under the top 25 to somehow get into the top 25. I am not sure that will happen.

Not true about the relevance. If we lose a game, our stock goes down; so to have a decent chance, we need to win them all.

Of course, going through BR may be a better long range plan. I would still love to host.

Winning these last 7 games will not improve our chances. We also will probably go 7-0 so it isn't relevance.

We've played the "favorable road path" game for what, 7 years? No thanks. It has not worked out. Not with Glasco's teams. Their mountain to climb has just been to get to a Super. They've been right there, but just out of reach so many times.

Host. Even as a 16. Gives you the best opportunity to move on. Then let the chips fall where they may after that. Just got to get past damn championship Sunday in the first round.

This.

We need to get to a Super this year. The best chance to get there is to host. If we can’t beat someone in a Super, we won’t beat them at the WCWS.

Host and move forward from there provides our best opportunity.

No such thing as a favorable road path. Upsets happen all the time. If we hit the road Glasco likes the teams road warrior mentality. Winning a regional needs to happen to take the next step. I think it can be done on the road or at home. I don't like that we are playing a 4 game below 500 team for the last three games of the year. 3 wins are nice but it will not move the needle upwards.

It would be great for our fans to host a regional but being a #16 seed would be tough and if we advance then we head to Oklahoma. Beating Oklahoma would be a tall task, not impossible, but extremely difficult. Just have to see how it plays out.

Oklahoma team era is 0.78, they are 45-1, and 62% of there games have been shut outs. I would love for the Cajuns to beat them.

We could barely hit Baylor. Why would we be able to hit Oklahoma?
