BB G2 Final: Louisiana 4, Troy 8

[cajundiehard]

The regular season title would be the only metric in our favor. Quad record is 2-6 currently, 5 quad 4 losses. I for one, would not be comfortable with trusting the committee if we back into the regular season title. Only 2 series wins over teams with winning records. The committee doesn’t need a whole bunch or reasons to leave teams like us out, especially if it’s between us and a team from the sec, acc or big 12 getting in.

Series wins over teams with winning records:

Wright State
Tulane
Old Dominion
Southern Miss

Texas State is close and could end up being added to that list (currently 24-25)

Georgia Southern and South Alabama are 2 more opportunities to win series vs team w/ winning record.

IF the Cajuns can hold on to first, I have no doubt they will get a bid. The metrics will be adequate in that scenario (e.g. RPI will improve). Cajuns need to focus on winning the conference.

The first HUGE step is today. MUST salvage a game to leave with a 2 game lead and 2 weeks to go. Leave Troy tied for first (and losing tie-break), I don't like our chances.

I was talking about in conference and to this point of course. We better go win this conference and not just hang on bc I think we will be disappointed come selection time. Or I guess we could just trust the committee to do the right thing.

I'm with you. If the Cajuns tie for 1st (hang on), I hope but don't expect a bid as they would lose the tie-breaker if heads-up vs Troy and Cajuns would wind up as the #2 seed.

If the Cajuns WIN the conference and end up as the #1 seed it will be by a game or more. In this scenario, I'm not worried and I do expect a bid.

The Cajuns need to resume pitching like they have and still can. I don't buy the we-pitched-well-to-bad-hitting-teams thesis.

That pitching would have stymied most teams, good or bad. This is still college baseball.

I agree. The pitching did just fine vs two SEC teams in Houston.

No. It's currently 1.

Win Today with Troy loss = 2 game lead.

Lose Today with Troy win = tie.

You’re right…thanks. Massive game!

[Big Buds]

With Troy owning the tiebreaker.

This is also correct.

I’ve never seen more front runners in my life like some of you on this board. It’s comical. And most of you have zero clue about what it takes to deal with the ups and downs of the game of baseball. Ignorance at its finest.

It’s a fanatic sport message board. What in the living world are you expecting?

What a weak excuse.

Seems the roaches from Louisiana State are chest thumping after clinching their “Super Bowl” series this year.
