2004-05 Ragin' Cajuns Basketball Real Time RPI

[J-Town Cajun]

According to kenpom.com the cajuns are ranked @ 47th. This poll is probley the most accurate. Here are some teams seeded lower with higher rpi's.

11 seed UAB ranked 49
12 seed George Washington ranked 54
12 seed UW-Milwakee ranked 59
12 seed New Mexico ranked 67

Like someone else noted, until we win a game in the tournament we will not get the seed more closely related to our RPI. Same thing probably happened to Louisville. They felt a 2 or at worst a 3 seed; but ended up with the 4. The problem I see with this mindset is that it makes it more difficult for the teams to "earn" that 1st round win because it puts us against a better team than we could have met as an 11 or 12. But, as Al Davis would say, "Just win baby."

I agree with you shof. I like things more cut and dry. That way no one can argue what seed they have gotten.

Also:
10 seed N.C. St. ranked 65

This is five teams ranked lower to us in the rpi, this could have moved us up to a 12 or 11 seed.

I found this to be pretty interesting....

Louisville is 27-4

Of their 4 losses, 3 have come to teams with an RPI below that of the Cajuns!!

Iowa 42
Houston 88
Memphis 119

Cajuns are 41

Also, Louisville has only beaten 4 teams with an RPI better than the Cajuns!!

Stanford 36
Florida 19
Cincinnati 22 (twice)
Charlotte 33

After finding out this information, I like our chances better than my first impression. I truly believe that the Cajuns have a legitimate shot!!

(Cajuns beat LaTech!....Tech beat Memphis!....Memphis beat Louisville in Louisville!!....Cajuns beat Louisville???)

I hope the slipper fits!!

I think the key to this game will be Chris Cameron...if he is knocking down his shots from outside it could be a very interesting game.

If that's your logic, carry it through. Cajuns beat Tech beat Memphis beat Louisville beat Charlotte beat Cajuns.

Lol.....got a point!

Don't discount that we rebounded to beat Memphis twice after they gave us our last loss of the season, both times in THEIR gym.

[JustRagin]

Wouldn't that logic mean Tech is better than the cajuns?
