[Hidden Content] four in: UCLA, Southeastern Louisiana, St. John's, MiamiFirst four out: Connecticut, Gonzaga, Maryland, South CarolinaNext four out: Old Dominion, Mississippi, McNeese State, Louisiana Tech
It's good for 10 years so you might as well get it. Cabo and Cancun are cheap and only a 2 hour flight. We did Cabo last September All Inclusive for 5 nights for 2 of us was $1600. I can't rent a hotel in Beaumont and eat and drink all day for 5 nights for that cheap.
Seems like more teams are throwing off the 1st game this year than I can ever remember and saving their best pitcher for game 2.
Numbers wise, it seems that Vidrine has been PNG's best pitcher this year and he hasn't started a game 1 yet. It will be an interesting chess match between the 2 coaches.
Okie Lt won the Big 12 Tourney. Rice came back and won to advance to the postseason.
Pairings will be announced Monday at 11am
Bubble watch
3 at-large spots among these teams:#34 Maryland#37 St. John's #38 UConn#41 Miami#42 McNeese#46 A&M#47 LaTech#50 Gonzaga#51 Old Dominionthe final RPI's for the committee will be available in a few hours
Here are a few post from people that follow this stuff pretty closely....
with Saturday's action winding down, here's how things look with 1 day of baseball to go.there are 27 of 33 at-large spots claimed. Leaving 6available among these 11 teams:#32 Maryland*#33 South Alabama* #34 St. John's* #38 UConn#40 Miami#41 McNeese#45 A&M#46 LaTech#50 Old Dominion#51 Gonzaga#53 San Diegothe first 3 teams are still playing in their conference tournament. South Alabama needs 1 win to earn the auto-bid. Both Maryland and St. John's have to win 2 games tomorrow for the auto-bid. A&M needs all three to win tomorrow and leave the at-large pool.if all 11 teams remain in the pool...I think A&M, St. John's, ODU, and Gonzaga are the top 4 at-large candidates in no particular order
----------------------------
there are a lot of factors at work among these 11 teams.-- St. John's, Gonzaga, and McNeese are the regular season champions of their leagues-- the Maryland AD is on the committee-- the committee chairman is from the West Coast conference...a plus for Gonzaga & San Diego-- Gonzaga may be the only team within bus distance of Corvallis, Oregon-- the NCAA is trying to spread the popularity of college baseball across the country. It would be a blow to the Northeast for both St. John's and UConn to be left out-- C-USA was the #6 RPI conference. The league is worthy of an at-large team...a plus for ODU and LaTech-- Miami has not missed regional play since the Nixon Administration
Lost to UNC. Miami is on the bubble along with A&M. Selection show on Sunday should be interesting.
Texas with a big win over TCU and will play Okie Lt for the Big 12 Championship
