Funny thing. Through almost all the projections until now, D1 Baseball always seemed to have UConn in a better light than Baseball America. D1 Baseball usually had UConn as a 2 seed, while Baseball America would have them as a 3 seed. Now for the final projection it is reversed.

Uconn #2 seed in Oklahoma State Regional. Oklahoma State was the #9 overall seed.

Love it. Let's go!

The fighting Ecksteins! That's a decent but highly winnable regional assuming the USF and Cincy huskies stay away.

Only complaint is a 1pm game. I think it might have been that way last year as well.

As an FYI from earlier:

 

[huskymedic]

Cincinnati gets the 4 seed in Corvallis.

 

[huskymedic]

CCSU to Fayetteville.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Arkansas has a cakewalk regional

 

[huskymedic]

Quinnipiac headed to Greenville.

No Houston or UCF. Three bids for the AAC.

Or Cincy stole a bid from either Houston or UCF. They were both listed in the Last Four Out category.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cincy making it may have directly contributed to both being left out.

IMO no way UCF deserved it, not with their conference record and home series losses to an unimpressive Auburn team and dreadful Penn State squad. UH probably deserved it but really needed to win a game in conference play.

Houston was the first team left home, while UCF was fourth. Duke, Florida State, Michigan and TCU selected over them

...said no one with any functioning brain cells.

well when i posted it I didn’t know they listed Yustin as the first team out. If Cincinnati stole a bid from a non-AAC team... do you not think the league would prefer 3 bids over 2?

Let me know how functioning brain cells process that one?

Pretty sure they said the teams were listed in alphabetical order.

Easy. It was TCU that stole Houston's bid. You could make a case that Cincinnati stole Mizzou's or maybe even UCF's bid. But then, you'd have to admit you smug sense of superiority is undeserved.
