Looks like. 4 seed New Orleans won the series vs Lamar and that is only 2 teams at 13-11

Lamar took 2 games in the opening series of conference from UNO.  I get confused with all the times I have looked at things as well.  Really doesn't matter as the 3 and 4 seeds play in the first round. 

Hang in there Spider, I know today's outcomes almost made you smile. You can still complain about the season overall and keep things normal in here.  😀

McNeese, AMCC, and Northwestern are now all 12-12.  They are all 3-3 in the 3way head to head.  No idea what the SLC next step is in the tiebreaker. 

This is big as 1 of the 3 will be "in the tournament" and the other 2 will face off in the 1 game play in on Tuesday.

LOL oh the ups and downs. If Southeastern and UIW would win Lamar would be in a tie with New Orleans for 3rd and we own the tiebreaker with them... and Southeastern has tied now 6-6.

Looks like this is exactly what is about to happen. UIW adding to lead in top of 9th. 

Lions win!!  See you all at some point Wednesday in Lake Charles.  Now, just hold for exact seed and game times.  

Lions tie it in ninth!  Still batting with 2 on and 1 out. 

Southeastern threatening in the bottom of 9th. 

Go UIW!  Quite sure ya'll are following the games. UiW only one leading at the moment that can help the Cards. 

Snakehead, you gave more effort on the tiebreakers than me, well done. 

Should be scoreboard watching soon.  

Anyone with a prediction?  

I'm saying a Lamar win and 1 team losing (not bold enough to predict the team) they are tied with giving Lamar a top 5 seed.  Based on Lamar's record against teams they likely tie (not studying it closely), they end up as the 5 seed if only 1 of the other tied teams does take a loss. 

In this conference, this year, not sure anything but the 1 seed gives much of an advantage.

Another nice win for Lamar. Now hopefully a seeep tomorrow to be 13-11 and at least move ahead of McNeese. The only one above 7th that they took series is Northwestern, so I don’t know if that would put Lamar 6th or better 

Was posting at the same time as you.  Win and need one of the other 3 they are tied with to lose. That's the best scenario.  Will it happen????

The IF has happened.  4 way tie for 3rd. Snakehead mentioned there could be a 5 way tie.  Not about to attempt to figure it all out, but Lamar's record against the other 4 is 5-7.  Not sure how that would play out against the others in a tiebreaker situation  Main goal is win tomorrow and there is a good chance they avoid the play-in game. 

Winner.  Now scoreboard watch the last 2 games still playing tonight.

Yes, and then if those 4 tied teams all win tomorrow it would be a five way tie including UIW. So I'll be waiting for your presentation of all the tiebreaker possibilities later tonight.

Think I'll pass on that "challenge."

If and I mean a big IF...if all scores in the conference remain with the team leading right now.... 4 way tie for 3rd and UIW 1 game ahead going in to tomorrow.   Again, a big if. 

After last night, it appears UIW is the team to support if you're a Lamar fan.  There are other scenarios that could get them out of the play-in game, but a sweep by Lamar and UIW and AMC splitting the final 2 games does it. 

Quite sure those of you that follow this thread know I mention a sweep for Lamar because it ensures you also move past McNeese in the standings. 

Differrnt note, if McNeese were to lose in the play-in game there will be a very low attendance total for the tournament.   With McNeese holding hosting rights for several years a one site format is set, but truly wish the conference could return to last years set up for the tournament.  The McNeese vs Southeastern 3 game series for the championship drew really good crowds last year. 

Nice win tonight.

They need to win all 3 to avoid being 12-12 and tied with McNeese. A play in game vs them in Lake Charles would not be good. I do not see them being above 6th or 7th. They just don’t have the pitching. Do not be surprised if they go 1-2 vs HCU

Heck, they may get swept. However, if you want to see some bad numbers, check out the ERA'S for the Huskies.  Team ERA is over 8 and ranks 275 out of 295.   

Drop to D2, essentially all sports have to drop NCAA will not allow a single sport drop. 

A school is allowed to be a lower division and have 1 male and 1 female play up a level, but not 1 sport down. DBU baseball and several ice hockey programs come to mind. 

The idea of Lamar dropping is a moot point.  

LU has a decent shot at avoiding being in the play-in game. However, there is still a chance they could be sitting at home if swept by HCU.  

Several interesting scenarios and a strong chance of a tie breaker determining play-in game or being out right in the tournament.  If I'm reading things correctly, Lamar wants to avoid tie breakers with McNeese and Corpus, but holds the head to head with UNO.

3 way ties.. I have an idea about, but more than I care to write. 

Scoreboard watch today and then play what if with the HCU series for Lamar and who plays who in the final weekend. 

Interesting note...if they don't move sites or cancel today, HCU will have played 11 games at "home" this season (believe I calculated correctly).  Very few games scheduled at home to begin the season and several were moved to Sugarland and Rice due to weather. 

We differ on one thing here.  I think she should be kept. Regardless of your thoughts on Bruder...it was a no win situation to come in after her tenure and the first few years were going to be bad.  Schools definitely used it in recruiting situations and it's taken time, but improvement is showing.  

Don't see either being sent packing and would suspect the softball coach to be on even better "footing" than Davis.  The overall record may be lacking, but would be very surprised with a 4th place conference finish and final 3 in the tournament.  We will see, but highly doubtful.

I'll add this with no knowledge of the AD or Lamars expectations for softball...a program that competes in conference (did so this year), is clean, and is non-revenue producing seldom loses coaches.  

Today's win guarantees a .500 record in conference play and in the tournament.
