Bad NCAA rule, but as a resident of Lafayette, the meltdown here would be EPIC.

quote:

Regional
. If inclement weather limits play, every effort has been made to complete competition by Sunday and if competition
cannot be completed by Monday, the team that will advance to the super regional will be based on the following:
0 games played
Highest seed
1 game played
Highest seed
2 games played
Highest undefeated seed
3 games played
Highest undefeated seed
4 games played
Highest undefeated seed
5 games played
Highest undefeated seed
6 games played
Winner of Game 6 unless each team has one loss, therefore the teams are tied, then:
1) Head-to-head competition
2) Highest remaining seed

Winner of game 6 advances.
If head to head is equal the higher seed advances if final game cannot be played.

That is a terrible way to decide it.

Head to head score diff, then common opponent score diff should be above seeding.

With that said... MELT USL MELLLLLTTTTTT!!!

Even if this were the case, LSU still wins. (Assuming you mean common opponent in the tournament.)

LSU and ULL split their two games, but the Tigers have outscored the Cajuns 8-5 in the two games. Common opponent is McNeese, which LSU beat 10-1 will ULL beat them 6-0.

I certainly wasn't making a case for ULL, I just think generally speaking that is a terrible rule to ever be on the losing side of when there are a few more obvious option before resorting to a committee's seeding.

So is LSU now hoping to win a game by weather? Didn't you do that in football too? Dang, thought LSU was tough.

We'r on an LSU site. We can talk about our own athletic teams until we're blue in the face. You, however, are on a different team's site trying to talk shite about softball. GTFO

Bruce Mikells already wrote an opinion piece about how ULL is going to be the "victim" of the rule. Just google his name and softball
