About this episode
Dave Schultz discusses the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns' chances of clinching an NCAA tournament bid amid a late-season surge.
Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns surge with key wins—can they clinch an NCAA tournament bid before time runs out? Dave Schultz breaks down the Cajuns’ recent hot streak, spotlighting standout pitching from Cody Brash and Andrew Herrmann. With series victories over Arkansas State and strong midweek performances, Louisiana rises in the RPI rankings but faces pivotal matchups against Georgia State, App State, and powerhouse Coastal Carolina. Would a top-40 RPI and a solid conference finish be enough to secure their postseason dreams? Schultz also examines Southern Miss’s quest for a national seed amid inconsistent Sun Belt play, fueled by the nation’s best non-conference RPI. The conversation explores Sun Belt bubble teams like Texas State and Arkansas State, and the slim chances of a five-team NCAA Sun Belt field. Who will step up in these crucial final weeks, and could a surprise tournament run shake up expectations?
