Remember LSU has to come to Lamson Park in a few weeks. We usually always split with LSU. Who knows what will happen, but we have to pitch and hit better.
We are usually on par or better than them so regularly splitting with them was commonplace. We are nowhere near them this year. They are levels above us. As much is pains me to say they could very well run rule us again in Lafayette. It’s gonna take a few years to get back to that level.
We are not as far behind as you seem to think. Yes we have lopsided losses to Texas, Mississippi State and LSU. If you add their RPI together, it is 30. We also are 3-4 against Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama and Houston.
So 3-7 against the top 31 RPI. 10-3 vs everyone else. Our remaining Non Conference games are McNeese, LTUx2, LSU and aTm. We should go 3-2 or better in those.
In conference, only CCU has an RPI better than ours, and nobody else we play is as good as they were last year except ULM, and their current RPI is 63. I do not expect us to win every conference series this year, though I would not be shocked if we did. I do expect us to win every home series and at least 2 of our 4 road series.
We are every bit as far behind lsu and Texas as far as I’m concerned. I’m no softball expert by any means but my eyes have told me enough when watching us play against power houses. I don’t really care about record vs P4. If we actually competed against Texas lsu and Mississippi state maybe I’d agree with you a little more.
