I was wondering how many of the regional winners saved their regular season starter for Saturday.

I thought it was a good move by Smoke last year I think it is a good move this year.

Off of the top of my head, I don't know them all. But I do know that the following teams did not throw their aces on Friday (some regional winners, some not, some #2 seeds) ...

LSU, Tulane, Texas, Baylor, Florida State, South Alabama, Nebraska, South Carolina, California State-Fullerton, Miami, Rice, Georgia Tech, and Auburn.

You could say that not throwing their ace backfired on only one of the teams (Georgia Tech).
