ZERO chance Fanning is back next year… :mad: :rolleyes:

It kinda sucks being great at a mid major… you lose players and coaches left and right.

No matter what happens the rest of the season….it has been so much fun to watch…..

Congratulations to our beloved Govs mbb team

I’d bet to venture he’s not as well. Like you said though, is what it is being a Mid Major.

Thankful to what he’s brought to the program.

The entire athletic department is better off than I’ve ever seen it right now.

100% AD Gerald Harrison.

FTR, not saying APSU still can’t get the bid. It is of MY OPINION, they deserve it over a 13th SEC team (or pick the last loser a** team from a “major” conference with a losing conference record to make it in).

Florida Gulf Coast beats Jacksonville 4-2. Peaying on FGCU tonight is the first half of the route to tomorrow's title game.

Would have to beat Stetson twice tomorrow, but first things first.

If I am reading D1 correctly, I think Kentucky is SEC 13. Peay should try to get an early series with Kentucky next year or asap. Neighboring state. Kentucky opened hosting a series against Lipscomb (an ASUN team) this season. KY's RPI this year is 36th. Peay's trip to play Arizona State and beat Grand Canyon was great. Roll the dice with a midweek game with Georgia Tech. Bama is not too far. Team is very close right now. The 278 SOS is holding us back. Stetson's is 149 with 3 Q1 and 1 Q2 wins. We had a chance at the finals on Friday, but today just killed us. I'm disappointed, too. Take some high reward, low risk chances with the schedule.

Whoa, it could have been even more frustrating.
Florida Gulf Coast baseball's season came to a controversial end on Sunday night.

FGCU led Stetson 6-5 in the seventh inning when a rain delay came, which lasted over six hours. The game was never resumed, as the Atlantic Sun was forced to cancel the game and declare both teams co-tournament winners, despite FGCU being named the winner of Sunday's [first] game [between the two].

However, Stetson was declared the ASUN's automatic qualifier to the 2025 NCAA baseball tournament, as announced by Atlantic Sun Conference commissioner after the game was called.

Same for Tn Tech and the OVC. Finished 1/2 game back in the regular season but had the best overall record in the conference at 37-20. Others not really close overall. Little Rock finished 9 games back but pulled off the upset in the tourney knocking Tech out and securing the auto bid at 27-34 overall. Tech was the better product for the post-season in the conference. In the case of Little Rock's season performance, there should be a path to defer to the better all-around team in conferences that only get to send one team. The OVC had 3 teams that finished within 1/2 game of each other at the top. Two were tied at #1 regular season conference. One of those was 2 games under .500 overall, and one would have been 5-6 games behind Tech overall. Tech should have took care of business in the tourney, but the best team in that league got left out. At the least, considering Little Rock's overall, the regional could have gone to Eastern Illinois who finished .5 game ahead of Tech in conference and atleast had a 31-22 overall.

I just think one team conferences need to have an alternate pick plan for the NCAA in these instances so the leagues can get the best representative into the regionals.

OR the NCAA needs to look at alternate ways to reward smaller conferences with more than one viable team. When you take 13 of 16 teams in the SEC with the bottom 4 being .500 or worse in conference, you took 4 spots away from better deserving smaller schools and conferences that could have sent more than one team.

I counted 15 smaller conferences that could have offered an extra team. ACU was tied with Sacramento for the best in the WAC but had the better overall, and dropped 2 to Utah State in their tourney to get left out.

First, Little Rock almost took out LSU.

Second, then you take out the "importance" of conference tournaments. It's no different than in College Basketball and you have a lot of 1 bid leagues there too
