Yeah, I don’t think anyone believed this was a tournament team at any point thus far.
He’s assuming they win the southland. Which they are favorites right now.

It should probably be mentioned that they also have road wins at UAB & VCU and a RPI of 32.

I predicted the same thing

98.6% of the RANT predicts.......
THE SAME and they won't make the NIT either. I'll even say they won't make it past the first round of the SEC Tournament.

RPI is a pretty worthless metric < 10 games into the season. Mcneese is actually 15th, with only 5 of their 8 games even counting towards the RPI. If those bullshite games were against D1 teams, their RPI and SOS would be horrible.

While true, they also have double-digit wins AT VCU and UAB. Neither are particularly easy places to win. Especially for a program like McNeese. I don't think people outside of LC fully appreciate the level of suck that program has been for a long time. They haven't had a winning season in over 10 years. Let alone a NCAAT appearance, of which they've had two in their history as a D-1 school.
Currently, they are the (EDT) 6th highest ranked team on KenPom among all 1-bid league programs. For context the top 100 in those rankings is always dominated by power conf. and high mid-major programs because of the SOS factor. However, on that note, McNeese, even with the games you mentioned, has a much higher SOS right now than LSU (32 v. 206) which is helping them reach a (current) ranking one spot lower than LSU. The SOS discrepancy will shift as the year goes on when LSU plays an SEC schedule while McNeese plays a Southland Conf. schedule. But it is incredibly biased to discount the early success Wade is having there. He didn't walk into a stacked mid-major program with a long history of success like, for example, a....Murray St.

I hope we hire him back and right after he sends a tweet with the dollar bill gif to Dick Vitale!!

He could have at least went out on a limb and predicted that we wouldn’t make the NIT. No one believes that we would be in the NCAA tournament

Took him months to build a foundation so strong the interim coach could get them off to their best start in decades.

Here's the thing, I don't really give a frick about daily updates on a Southland conference team whose entire season will hinge on winning or not winning a tournament 4 months from now. He's not the coach here anymore and won't be anymore. Nothing Will Wade does at McNeese St is going to change what happens at LSU. People need to move the hell on. But for whatever reason this board creams their pants every time McNeese St basketball does something. It's gotten old

And only one other (besides to MSU) is at home.
I'm not trying to tell you that VCU and UAB are great teams. But they are programs that should be much better than McNeese. McNeese is the caliber of opponent VCU and UAB PAY to come play them. And it's not like McNeese just lucked up and won those games in the closing seconds. They dominated both opponents, on their home floors, for the majority of the game en route to double-digit wins.
That level of success may not continue. It's a long season. But what they have done so far is really beyond anything that program has done in quite a while.
