BB Final: Louisiana 6, Wright State 7

Could you please elaborate on why comparing win percentages between two coaches is not akin to comparing apples to apples, and suggest a more appropriate comparison?

I don’t know. Maybe because who each has played, relative to how good the opponents are on the national scale, are different. Maybe because in baseball, playing a certain team can widely vary in how good they are on that day depending on what pitchers they use. Which is the answer to the other point about why baseball plays series.

Winning 2 of 3 all year in baseball (against a quality schedule) gets you a regional at large bid. Winning 2 of 3 all year against the schedules UL basketball plays, gets you a bye in the conference tournament

I know both of you are smarter than this, and are likely just doing some trolling here.

There are less D1 baseball teams than basketball teams yet the standard for postseason is still 64.
Anyone except RP posters might come to the conclusion that Making postseason in baseball is easier. And RP posters would as well if we had a different basketball coach.

Well the SBC baseball will be a top 5 baseball league and have 4 maybe 5 teams make regionals. Two of those may be national seeds.

While SBC basketball is in the bottom half of D1 basketball.

There are 300 baseball teams and 350 basketball teams. So in theory, your point is true.

But in actuality, are any of those 51 extra teams even relevant to the conversation about making the field of 64?

A few days of hot shooting from 3 can get a terrible basketball team into the tourney. It happens nearly every season.

Bad teams being able to win 5 or 6 baseball games in 5 or 6 days is MUCH less likely. It’s very rare, although Tulane last year would be an example.

I don’t understand the point of this conversation if I’m being honest. So I’ll step away and get ready for today’s baseball game. It’s a big one. Geaux Cajuns.

See also if 4 or 5 from sbc were given spots each year in hoops marlin may not have ever missed.

The point is game 3 of the season between two teams without a winning record is not a big one

Spots aren’t given they are earned.

WTF has a Marlin led team done to earn an at large spot?

I’ll wait

Lots of yapping about nothing. That was as good of an opening weekend baseball series as I’ve seen in a long time. Great play from both teams and we came out on top 2/3.

I’m excited to watch this pitching staff this year from top to bottom.

also while we are at it… a win in postseason baseball regional is not the same as a win in march madness basketball, since you could still lose the same round…. if that were the case, the basketball coach should be able to say, hey i never lost 2 ncaa postseason games in same year
