Plus David price went to vandy, so like Tulane that means no tops like program, and it was a "real" academic scholarship?

The host earned the opportunity to decide when they play on day 1. After that the tournry is set in stone.

Still doesn't seem set in stone..... Winner bracket team being visitor in game six makes sense, as cajuns are now, but it isn't the case in all regionals

It has nothing to do with the Game #. It is about how many times each team has been the home team. If that is tied, how many times each team has been the visiting team. There are further tiebreakers … culminating with the coin toss being the final tiebreaker.

For Game 6 … both UL and Rice have been the home team once. Since Rice has been the visiting team twice and UL once, Rice is the home team for Game 6.

If there is a Game 7, UL would be the home team.

From the rulebook....

Determination of Home Team For first-round games during championship competition, the highest-seeded team shall be designated as the home team. In subsequent games, the home team shall be determined according to a formula applied by the games committee. In determining which of two teams in any game will be the home team, the games committee or the NCAA game representative shall designate the home team using the following guidelines: 1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times in that particular tournament. 2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team. 3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee or the NCAA game representative shall observe the following procedures in the order stated: a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall be the home team in the game in question; b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games; or c. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by coin flip. The higher seeded team can determine whether they will call the coin toss, or defer the call to their opponent.

Thanks! Is this an ncaa manual or the baseball rulebook, same that umps would use?

So Super Regional game 3 is always a coin flip, right?

LSU home game 1
Louisiana home game 2
coin flip game 3

[31Ragin97]

I'd bet money that it isnt

Yes. The coin flip takes place before the first game.

Our comebacks this weekend have been challenged. NC State Coog'd and Rice'd it giving up 6 & 1 (all unearned) in the btm of 8 & 9, respectively, and 1 in 10th to win 9-8 and advance to super v aTm.

I did not see a balk on the NC State pitcher in the B9th that sent the base runner to third (from second) with one out. That tying run subsequently scored on a wild pitch. Poor call.

That said, NC State definitely Coog'ed it ... leading 8-1 going into the B8th, where they yielded six runs ... eventually losing 9-8 in 10 innings. No less than six errors by NC State! Seven of the nine TCU runs were unearned.
