re: How often do we play Tulane in basketball?

When you consider some of the non conf opponents we've played recently those two teams are a step up and absolutely do something for our RPI plus it's a recruiting tool. We've lost a lot of solid college basketball players to both those teams over the past 20 years most of them Nola or Laffeyette area players. Most power 5 top State teams play their upper level in state teams and it works well for them. Why shouldn't we trade Mcneese for Tulane or USL for southeastern?
