Painful to watch our hitters "try" to hit curve balls. 2nd time thru order and no one adapting.

Our boys are playing another dangerous game late in the season.

I am having flashbacks of the Jackson State pitcher shutting out the Cajuns in the first game of the 2014 regional.

A win tonight over Jackson State would provide the Cajuns a modest bump in RPI of .00147 ... enough to move up one spot in the RPI rankings (as they stand now and all other things being equal).

This is an example of a low risk/modest reward from the RPI perspective. Despite Jackson State having an RPI ranking of 269 (out of 305 schools), their 26-16 record actually increases the Cajuns' SOS (slightly) by .00026. Couple this with a win and you have a modest bump in RPI. If it were a road win, the RPI jump would be an additional .00106 ... for a total of .00253.

This is also an example where playing a team like #269 Jackson State helps your RPI more than playing certain teams ranked 100 spots higher ... or more.

Hopefully we keep having the Tigers on the schedule. Dan mentioned aside from last year we hadn’t seen them since 2015. If I heard correctly, since their coach arrived in ‘07 they’ve had a winning record every year. That’s a pretty solid bet each year that they won’t hurt you.
