Why would la tech be hosting?? RPI of 24 with no history or name recognition. Not in a baseball conference either.
Baseball America projects south al as the 4 seed in Ruston. Ouch. Mcneese going to Austin
I know. 4 teams in the top 30 rpi. But they aren’t normally a good conference. Cusa baseball season was kinda like sunbelt football season. Hopefully sunbelt football continues its climb and cusa baseball gets back behind the sunbelt where they belong.
And as good as the sunbelt has been in baseball in the past, I don’t ever remember the conference getting two host sites and 4 teams all 1-2 seeds. Pretty impressive or those teams success all helped each other’s success. After the top 4 cusa was bad.

You can also throw out Fairfield, moving Tech up to #18.
Besides, even if you went by RPI, there are three teams ahead of Tech that cannot host ... thus the #19 RPI is the next best available host for the last spot. Not that I think they were the last host. South Carolina was.
