Analyzing the Bubble

I will not be surprised if we don’t get in based on the way they handled the host sites. Solid resume doesn’t always get you a bid, but so doesn’t getting swept by JMU.

Well Troy will get one. And they got swept by Georgia St…a JMU clone.

USM not hosting.

I actually felt the opposite. The fact that Coastal is still hosting says two things:
1. They still think very highly of Coastal, even with them losing twice and not making the tournament finals.
2. We beat that highly thought of team twice which tells me those wins will likely hold a lot of weight.

Guess we’ll see tomorrow. Coach Robe use to say his Memorial Day was made good or bad by the selection show, will hold true again tomorrow for all of us.

If we’re gonna play the “if we didn’t do this” game, the problems are these…

PLAYING 4 home games against BYU, PLAYING 3 home games against High Point (and losing 1, that was a KILLER), PLAYING home games against Jackson State, Grambling, and Southern.

SLU going 25-25, PLAYING Tulane at home with their 19-40 record, and La Tech going 28-31.

BYU, High Point, SLU, Tulane and La Tech having bad seasons was a killer. And the Cajuns played 10 home games against those teams. Absolute killers.

The SWAC teams are what they are. Playing 3 of them (and all at home of course) also hurt.

When you have 34, 36 and 38 win teams hosting, a 40 win team who goes 4 and 3 against the hosts should be in the field . . .

Technical, we beat them 3 times.

That's posted after yesterday's games I believe.

I agree ... if the committee becomes aware of this.
