SB 2023: Regional Hosting or Not? NOT!

[SlickRick]

McNeese would have beaten the higher seed, so maybe not

I think mcneese beat Washington this year. Yes, beat them 3-2 in LC early season tourney.

I think mcneese beat Washington this year.

Just thought about McNeese having all turf, so I don’t think they can host

[ZoomZoom]

Some Refineryville fans aren’t happy either.

True. I think you have to have a dirt infield to host.

Quick look at Omaha.

31-15 overall.
RPI 97.
Good team ERA 1.99.
Team batting average is very average. 0.260.
Finished 2nd in the Summit League and won that tournament to get into the NCAA.
Beat wins look to be Iowa and Iowa state, but those were not tournament teams. They did beat Southeastern 3-2.

They wouldn't host if they did win their regional and either Louisiana or lspoo won the refineryville regional.

Our team is very young. We are a different team since that tournament in Florida.

Early Career "nerves"

RPI takes EVERYTHING into consideration.

I takes into consideration the "things" that make, a team a Quad, One, Two or Three ect and rewards accordingling a win or a loss etc.

Cherri Picking portions of what made the RPI, the RPI is the travesty.

It’s a moving goal post.

Well this year, we placed a big emphasis on top 10 wins. Then maybe we’ll look at head to head. Then SOS. Whatever fits our narrative this year.

Thats the whole problem with playoff committees. No consistent framework from yr to yr. But thats the NCAA for u

[roarman]

My whole issue is BR regional. Every time we play them in postseason, there’s always a controversial call that goes their way.

There is replay this year. There will not be a foul ball that is called a home run. There will not be a tag out at the plate and the runner call safe.

Let's hope so!

Just because there will be replay doesn't mean the call will be corrected if necessary. But there is at least hope it will be.

Very true. And replay can do nothing about the strike zone they will employ against us. We might have to beat the umps too.
