coachacola Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 The SLC is really bad so LU has a chance! #163 ACU #178 SFA #234 LU #236 Nicholls #241 Central Arkansas #270 SELA #277 UNO #285 HBU #290 SHSU ... and the rest https://www.masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Look for LU to move up several spots in next weeks rankings after the Houston game. Houston will lift the LU ranking whether LU does the expected and Houston wins or LU pulls a tremendous upset. Just the way Massey works.

coachacola Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Let's see how the SLC is doing this week... #150 ACU (9-1, they have played a weak schedule) #193 SFA (5-3, no longer the dominate team) #228 LU (4-5, should be 6-3 but can't close games) #236 Nicholls #240 UNO #250 Central Arkansas #272 TAMU-CC #270 HBU #281 SELA #295 SHSU (3-7, getting close to the dreaded 300 zone) and finally McNeese, IWU and NW State are just plain awful! https://www.masseyratings.com/cb/compare.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Not sure those three schools are as bad as the rankings indicate. They have all played some teams from the mid ranked conferences, but just don't have a quality win. The overall ranking for the SLC is 29 out of 32. While none of them is likely to be a contender in conference I still expect them to potentially be competitive and a school that LU could loose to fairly easily especially if it's at their place.

Skinny1 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Latest women's RPI rankings: Lamar 57 SFA 67 SFA beats Lamar, but Lamar goes around them in the rankings. This is the highest Lamar has been ranked this season in the RPI Poll. On the men's side, Lamar is now ranked 222. That is an improvement of 80 spots in 3 weeks. They also predict the conference tournament champion with Cards having 3rd best chance at 9%. ACU has a 38% chance and SHSU has a 35% chance.

Skinny1 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Latest RPI rankings: Women: Lamar 59 SFA 78 What is hurting our rankings is the SLC teams play 3-4 non-div 1 teams. By far the highest average amount Div1 conferences and the RPI rankings do not recognize those wins. And the NCAA uses the RPI rankings in their tournament selection/ seeding. Lamar played 4 non-div1 schools, no one ranked ahead them played more than 1. As far as the guys: SHSU 147 ACU 186 Lamar 219 According to RPI, no matter who wins the conference tournament, that team will be ranked last in the field and play one of the 4 play in games. Same problem as the women, schedule is too weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same problem as the women, schedule is too weak." Great observation, I hope Marco Born and other conference ADs recognize the problem and push to upgrade the schedules. Lamar can help itself but the whole conference needs to upgrade for it to do any good come NCAA selection time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baller Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 If the women win the conference and have an RPI better than 75 I believe they will not be in the play in game.Remember they hold a tier 1 win over a top 25 team Texas A&M on the road and currently have an RPI of 59 which is high for teams in the lower half of the conferences with automatic bids.The men will probably be in a play in game.

geezer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) It's good to see LU in the top two hundred. Of course would like to be much lower and the bottom of the SLC around the two hundred mark. Edited March 12, 2019 by geezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Here's the how the top SLC teams did against only D1 opponents: ACU 21-6 SHSU 18-10 LU 15-12 SELA 14-15 UNO 13-12 TAMU-CC 10-17 HBU 10-17 UCA 10-18 Going into the SLC tourney LU is on a 8 game winning streak and have won 11 out of their last 13 games. Massey give LU a 65% chance of beating HBU, 87-83. If LU wins the tourney they'll be 18-12 against D1 opponents going into the NCAA play-in round and will have a 11 game winning streak.

Skinny1 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) In the Women’s Basketball RPI rankings Lamar is up to #48 this week. SFA moves up to #73. Rest of the conference is mired in the hinterlands. Also the ESPN bracketology for the Women shows Lamar, if they win the SLC Tournament as a #13 seed playing Iowa State in the first round. The CBS prediction shows Lamar as a 14 seed playing Oregon State. Edited March 13, 2019 by Skinny1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
