Either way, goodness those times gotta be hard on an east coast time zone individual haha

Agree. And they never should have moved the Big 12 to Arizona. Bricktown Ballpark put on a great event and it's a fair central location.

Exactly. I fell asleep about 1:15 am eastern watching WVU play Arizona State out in Arizona. That had to be some sort of nominal advantage for Arizona State. WVU won.

North Carolina has 20 hits in 6 innings.

I think that is good.

With our pen, and the NCAA “affection” for UT, I may as well try to get tickets for me and CarolinaSon at the ‘Bosh for Sunday or Monday; that feels like where we are headed.

Auburn moves up and a Florida takes their spot at 8

I don’t think NC State deserves a spot but with coach retiring they need only an pulse to qualify.

I believe 3 of 4 first for our deserve a spot more than a Kentucky, especially Mercer.

In fact, Kentucky and NC State need to stay home

 

[fryeguy93]

Kentucky, are you watching

 

[fryeguy93]

I doubt the Horizon will get two bids

 

[fryeguy93]

Another stolen bid

Any of the first 4 out could replace KY.

If game-canceling KenSucky goes to a regional, they need to have bought tickets.

 

[Orange.]

Are they still showing Oregon as hosting at #16? They canceled two May games and need to be dropped a spot or two.

In the Sunbelt, USM beat Troy on Friday and Troy beat USM on Saturday. The two play today (Sunday), and the winner faces Louisiana (ULL) in the championship game.

Troy is a first-four-out team and is playing to steal a bid. USM and ULL are in.

Region hosts released tonight at 8:30.

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Anybody else think this CWS winner will not be an SEC team? GT is my pick.

 

[TheBigOne10]

USM would be a tough draw because they have great pitching. Not sure how because it seems like he’s been in college for 19 years, but I think Oldham is still on their staff.

3 of the top 4 seeds won’t be SEC teams, so yeah there is a good chance it’s someone outside the SEC winning it.

GT and UNC both hit consistently through their lineup, and both have solid pitching staffs. D. Loy barely sniffed the field the latter part of the season for GT, and he would have been a mainstay in TN's pen.

Both those teams are good. I don't know anything about UCLA other than their record.

UGA is capable, and Florida is on a run right now, but if GT or UNC get to Omaha, I think they may have the depth to make it happen.

 

[Orange.]

No bid steal for Troy. Lost this morning. USM also handling ULL now.

Oldham was on the ‘23 and ‘24 teams we played, but was drafted by the Twins in ‘24 and has stayed injured in minor league ball.

Thanks, thought I’d heard his name come up in one of their highlights I watched from this season. I did just remember Thomas Crabtree transferred there from Tennessee.

I had to look it up.

He did. I don’t know how he’s doing. I’m gonna see if I can find an article on their pitching.

Edit: Meh, I just wait until the series. I’m sure they’ll discuss it.

 

[knoxvol52]

UCLA is awful lucky or awfully clutch, every game they look left for dead and then here they come..


UCLA wins Big Ten Championship with a bases loaded hit by pitch in bottom of 11th..

 

[StarRaider]

swine about to get run ruled by the leghumpers

 

[fryeguy93]

 

[fryeguy93]

Neither Kentucky nor NC State have any business in the tourney

 

[Orange.]

Anybody but KenSucky. NC State can suck it, too.

 

[Tnphil]

JMO.....But UGA and Georgia Tech will be hard to beat.
