Bottom of the 7th now. To technically be on time this game would have to end at 11:45 or abouts.

Next game does not start until 12:30 with 45 minutes in between.

Game over, App wins 8-7, pretty exciting game. They are about 15 minutes behind schedule in game time, but I would suspect the clock won't start running for another 10 minutes or so, so probably more like 25-30 minutes behind schedule.

APP wins, JMU eliminated, down to 7 teams left in the tournament, 4 of which are 1-0, APP is 1-1 and Texas State and Georgia State are about to start the other elimination game.

Man, we need to win tonight, currently D1 Baseball has us as the #1 team out of the tournament with his new projections this morning. A win tonight would put us right in the running.

I think personally a win tonight and a win vs an elimination team on Friday would basically make it tough to be kept out.

Thoughts?

In other games, the propoganda has begun. aTm, the 10 seed in the SEC tournament, throws their second 1 hitter of the tournament. "Secures a spot in the NCAA tournament" was announced by one of the talking heads.

The way the committee(s) in the NCAA pick and choose criteria from year to year, I can't help but think that the only impressive weekend on our entire resume is TxSt. 2 more wins would only get us to 39. I think number of stolen bids will weigh heavily on our chances.

THIS is the problem. If we do not win the tournament, I will not make the selection show a priority. I will expect us to be kept out. After all, it was just last year the committee was "validated" by last-team-in Ole Miss winning the whole thing. Expect a SEC bottom dweller to be picked over us.

It would be hard to keep out a team that is hot and made a run in a tough conference tournament out in my opinion. This team has proven it can hang with really good teams all year. Im interested to see how we play tonight, a win would help out so much with weakening Coastal's pitching staff for the saturday game/games.
