SB 2023: Regional Hosting or Not? NOT!

[RaginScotsman]

I know there were several chances for top 25 wins. I keep going back to the UCLA loss. We had that one and let it slip. That would have been a marquee win, but it looks like even with that, Baylor would have still been ahead.

Utah winning the PAC 12 stole a spot. We may not have had it anyway by the looks of it.

So RPI and seeding when it comes to non “power” conferences is just a tease? I’m just venting. I know it’s not THE metric, but I thought it held more weight.

Texas State would have been out. I would rather have Texas State in the field than Marshall.

Yes.

Our record against Top 25 RPI did us in plain and simple. Tough schedule is great but we had to win a few more of those. But darn, I am tired of going that dump in BR.

[Tasso]

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

Like it or not, Baton Rouge has become UL’s perceived ceiling the last few years. Until UL proves them wrong, it is what it is.

It’s no coincidence McNeese landed in Washington, a team they already beat. And that bracket pair off.

I’m disgusted.

[DieHard 1280]

This bites, and they will always look for a reason to keep us and other “mid-majors” out if they can, but we left the committee way too big of an opening.

[UL_Cajuns]

Should be hosting, but Good path to the CWS. This team should be able to win the BR regional and whoever is in the super regional. Just win.

Heck Mcneese could win their regional and we could have a UL vs Mcneese Super in Laffy.

[RaginScotsman]

Okay. Trying to put the disappointment aside. My fault I guess for getting hopes up and buying into a lot of the prognostications that has us in. (95 percent of them I saw did…) The odds seem to get more stacked against teams like us year after year. No benefit of the doubt.

Moving on. Omaha is a good draw.

We’re playing better than we were in Feb and March . The tigers were trending down at the end of the season. We beat them there already.

The draw is much easier than last year as a 3 with Clemson and Auburn. Plus we’ll have our full team available. Full pitching staff.

Who’s pitching on Friday?

[Esqueleto]

Didn't even bring up the BR regional. Scared

[cajundiehard]

Maybe we have a better shot this year with the use of instant replay. �� Less likely to get screwed on a big call, IMHO. It's one thing to get the call wrong on the field... another to get it wrong on obvious video replay.
