WCWS Championnship UCLA vs Oklahoma

[JMV JustMyView]

did they ever say what the the deal with the possible "obstruction" call was, that led to missing the possible double play by dalton and leading to a run for crooked letters U @ oxford

They have nothing to say it was a blown call.

You need to understand, visitors have virtually zero chances of beating national seeds. Visitors have about a six percent chance of upsetting 9-16. Your best chance is to get to a super. Either way unless you're a national seed your chance is virtually zero.

Thinking I wanna get to the super. Either way you're not getting to the WCWS but at least you only need one miracle win if you host.

We made it to the WCWS in 2008 by beating LSU-BR (9 seed) in BR then traveling to Houston (8 seed) and beating them. It is possible to beat a higher seed then a national seed as we've done it before. You're right, though. The percentages are low.

We've also hit a wall in the Supers at places like UCLA (5 seed in 2010) and OU (3 seed in 16'.) However, we've also had Arizona State (4 seed) running in Tempe in 2012, but then lost 2 straight. We were painfully close against Michigan (8 seed) in 2013.

To ragin50's point, the chances are low to beat a 1 or 2 but OU and UCLA both went down in their regionals this year and had to play the If Necessary game. Not easy to beat them, but Wisconsin and Mizzou did it and they are not exactly powerhouses.

Playing the game of hoping we are paired with a manageable 6-12 seed will usually end up in disappointment. It worked out this year in our draw, but the ultimately our best chance to advance is by hosting. Even if you're a 16 seed. You can't get to the supers without winning a regional and as we've seen the past 3 years in a row, it's incredibly hard to win a regional on the road.

JMU just advanced to the super regional round. Good for them

JMU wins regional vs 16 seed Michigan. Of course now they’ve got OU, but congrats on being the only visitors to win.

JMU won the regional against #15 Michigan. They now get to travel to the west coast to face #2 UCLA.

Okay thanks though I heard 16. Many thought that they were robbed as well.

They were flat out robbed of hosting in the first place.

How'd that trip to Ole Miss work out for us? Let’s see how they do vs #6?

If ole M. only gets 2 more games it was worth it for them, even if the should have traveled to Tennessee in the first place

Bottom line, it’s always better to host.

True

As a host you can sell recruits that you’re top drawer program. And occasionally we might be a national seed. Way too much worrying about being paired with OU. This week we’re paired with vacation.
