Heck! every year the SWAC has a representative in the NCAAs and that league sucks.
To be fair, last year NSU was on the bubble. I posted elsewhere that UNO, SLU, and NSU all entered the SLC tourney with fairly high RPIs but they were grouped together on one side of the bracket and proceeded to beat up on each other. Only UNO got a bid, as I recall.
NWST was never on the bubble last year. NWST had an inflated RPI because of whom they lost to, not whom they beat. The Demons were never in the at-large discussion.

It's dripping out of your ears! You are so full of shit!
NSU was as much on the bubble as any other team in that RPI range entering their conference tourney. Period. As I recall, and I may be wrong about this, they went 0-2 in the tourney and at that point were eliminated from consideration. But, not before the SLC Tourney started, which is what I said. You act like you know what the committee was thinking. Get over yourself.
Now, that is also why I have asked if Burr, based on his pedigree, was a good hire.

They were around a 51 rpi...

And was never in consideration for an at-large bid. NWST's RPI was inflated due to who they lost to, not who they beat. NWST's RPI was high simply because they lost to good teams (Tech, LSU, ULL, USM, Texas A&M, Arizona, SELA, SHSU, UNO) and beat bad teams.
NWST was 3-14 vs. Top 50 RPI teams with ZERO series wins vs. Top 50 teams (of those wins, 2 came in series losses & 1 in a split) and only 4-4 vs. 51-100. Taking 2 of 3 vs. Lamar (77 RPI) in Natchitoches was NWST's only Top 100 series win. When your best result is winning 2 of 3 at home vs. No. 77 Lamar, your resume goes straight to the trash. That resume doesn't get anyone at-large consideration no matter what their RPI is.
Anybody who says they were on the bubble has no clue what they are talking about.
Re: Baseball. Bulldogs Drop Finale in Miami
So....why did we hire Burr?
:rolleyes:
Re: Baseball. Bulldogs Drop Finale in Miami
A 51 RPI with no noteworthy wins sounds like a decent team that had no shot of making the tournament.
