SLU has now pulled into a tie with Texas State for the SLC regular season championship. They also own the series tiebreaker over the Bobcats. With a rank of #40 in the Adjusted RPI, SLU is now looking good for a #3 seed at-large bid (should they need it and should they continue to play well).
I believe this will have ramifications with respect to where the Cajuns play in postseason, should the Cajuns finish their business. The most likely scenario is that both squads would have #3 seed type resumes. If the committee feels it could justify a #2 seed for the Cajuns, you could see both teams facing each other in the opening round in Oxford. Else, SLU is likely to go the Oxford . with the Cajuns going to Austin or Fort Worth (401 miles).
LSU, UL, and SLU are the only possible #2/#3 seeds in the state of Louisiana this season. If USM makes the field, they will be a #3 seed.
