ForeverADog Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 If we win conference and our tourney I think we will be at least 14 maybe a 13. But I hate thinking that far ahead.
Ruckdad Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 13 is probably stretching it - but I can see a 14 seed, more likely a 15 though. Biggest thing is - just win baby!
bigsoftballfan Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 This is cool. It would be great to be a 13 or 14. GO BIG RED!

ForeverADog Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Our rpi down to 61 after two SLC games.
badndn Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 Not sure how they figure this?? UTA hasn't lost and they move from a 15 seed to a 16 seed?
ForeverADog Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 The confrence is so bad that their rpi is dropping like crazy. Even though they continue to win.
AshlyHasBeen Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Posted January 23, 2012 Even after a slow start Lamar's RPI is 105 thanks to non-conference. UTA is currently 150.

UTA is currently 150.[/quote]Exactly. The toughest part of the conference schedule is over so LU should win all their remaining games. Lamar is still in the running for a good bracketbuster game that could boost their RPI even better. Although UTA is a little better right now, Lamar has the better RPI which translates into a better seeding in the NCAA tourney. At this point I bet the best the SLC can do is a 15 seed.
badndn Posted January 23, 2012 Report Posted January 23, 2012 All that makes sense, sorta. I agree the best the SLC will do is a 15. UTA as a 14 could beat a 3 if they shoot like they did at the Montange, but history shows you gotta shoot lightsout to beat a 2 and a 1 has never been beaten in rd 1.
AshlyHasBeen Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 Updated. Including Oral Roberts since they will be joining the SLC.
AshlyHasBeen Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 With UTA being knocked out Lamar will be seen in Bracketology tomorrow!
badndn Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Based on RPI - Im Guessing the 16 seeds will be:SWAC ChampAmerican East ChampMEAC Champ other than Norfolk StateWestern KentuckyIf Mcneese wins then they would replace either the AE Champ or Norfolk as a 16.If LU Wins I would suspect a borderline 15 seed. Depends on if Norfolk wins the MEAC or not.
NorthoftheBorder Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 One Bracketology I saw this morning has LU a 16th seed facing Syracuse in Pittsburgh! Ugggghhh!

Ugggghhh![/quote]That would mean that LU would be the 67th seed! Behind either a SWAC team or a 15-18 W. Kentucky.[/quote]It's har for me to believe that LU couldn't beat either of those two teams. Don't know much about "Cuse" but would rather play them than Kentucky or NC as CBS sports is projecting the SLC champion to play.
ForeverADog Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Keep in mind there are 6 total 16 seeds. I don't think Lamar will get a play in game but it will be hard to get a 15 seed.
AshlyHasBeen Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Lamar is projected as a play-in game vs Mississippi Valley St. The winner will get Kansas.

That is a real slap in the face of a 23-11 team with the caliber of competition LU has played.
coachacola Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 There are dozens out there: http://bracketproject.50webs.com/matrix.htm
badndn Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 The play in games should be for non-AQs since they went to 68 teams![quote name="ForeverADog" post="1195050" timestamp="1331321113"]Keep in mind there are 6 total 16 seeds. I don't think Lamar will get a play in game but it will be hard to get a 15 seed. [/quote]Not so. Last year only two of the 4 play in games were for the 16 seed. One of the others was VCU/USC as an 11 Seed! WOW. VCU had a play in and made it to the final four.
