Nice gutsy extra inning win away at Northeastern. Pitching again was very good, our bats seem to be in a bit of a slump. Really think we will get our offense back, it is a long season and these days are expected. Every line item below is significantly in green, except RPI. Lets get a win tomorrow vs Yale.

Go Huskies !!!

16- 5 / .762% ........ 11 - 10 / .524% - Out of Conference

8 - 1 / .889 ......... 15 - 6 / .714 - Big East regular season

I have a quick but important question:

Do we need to view the BE this season as a one bid league?

I have a quick but important question:

Do we need to view the BE this season as a one bid league?

I would @ this point…

-> Likely one-bid leagues (potential at-large teams in parentheses):

Atlantic 10 (Davidson)
Big East (Connecticut)
Big South (Campbell)
Big West (UC Santa Barbara)
Colonial (College of Charleston)
Ivy (Pennsylvania, Columbia)
MAC (Central Michigan)
Missouri Valley (Dallas Baptist)
Mountain West (UNLV)
Ohio Valley (Southeast Missouri, Belmont)
WAC (Grand Canyon)

Out of this group of teams, Dallas Baptist (No. 2 RPI) and Grand Canyon (No. 29) look like surefire at-large teams, barring collapses down the stretch.

UConn (No. 59) and UCSB (No. 49) are the next likeliest at-large teams should they fail to win automatic bids, though that should be a moot point in Santa Barbara’s case because it leads the Big West by 3.5 games, and that league’s automatic bid goes to the regular-season champion. The OVC also has two viable at-large candidates in SEMO (No. 53) and Belmont (No. 56), and whichever team wins the regular-season title could have a realistic chance to be an at-large team, assuming its RPI can stay in that range. Penn (41) and Columbia (67) also have chances for at-large bids, but their RPI rankings don’t seem likely to remain in at-large territory. <-

Since the break up of the old Big East conference after the 2013 season, there has been one season where the Big East got an at large bid to the NCAA baseball tourney. That was 2017 when St. John's got an at large bid.

Was out to dinner last night, and left table 4-5 times to uses men's room. Was trying to keep up with game and also see if my Packers would finally chose a WR. Happy to say that we get a comeback victory in extra innings, and the Pack moves up to take Christian Watson at WR. Good night for me.

We win another opening game of a series. We now have the second most wins (35), 2nd best winning % (.814) and the 2nd best road record (20-5) in college baseball. All behind Tennessee, which is number 1 in all categories. As we all keep on saying, all we can do is keep on winning games.

Go Huskies !!!

-> Matt: What’s UConn gotta do to get some respect?
Kendall Rogers: Matt — Connecticut is ranked in our Top 15 because we believe in the Huskies. With that said, the Huskies, from an RPI standpoint, have played an atrocious schedule thanks to a terrible Big East Conference this year. I would say a Top 15 ranking is pretty sufficient respect at this point, if I’m being honest.

Captain Crunch: Is the American Athletic Conference going to be a 1 Bid League?
Kendall Rogers: Cap — As of right now, it certainly looks like that will be the case. But keep an eye on Houston — the Cougars are up to 76 in the RPI (still a long way to go) and are just one game out of first place. I would throw Tulane still in the mix, too.

Alex from Atascocita: The AAC, with 3 weekends of conference play to go, still is up for grabs. ECU has a 1 game lead over Houston and UCF (although it is effectively a 2 game lead due to ECU’s sweep over UCF) and Tulane is now 2 back. Do you see ECU holding on to 1st (final weekend of season ECU hosts Houston)? If ECU can win regular season title but NOT the tournament title, can they get in?
Aaron Fitt: Yeah, tight race this year. In a normal year, the AAC regular-season champion feels like a lock at-large team, but this year I’m not so sure; ECU is just No. 52 in the RPI, and if they finish outside the top 50, even a regular-season title might not get them in. Houston is 76 and UCF is 97, so those teams are even less likely to get at-large spots if they can finish atop the standings. Just an odd year for the American. A down year. <-

ARGH.

The Big East being bad isn’t why our RPI is so shirt-filled.

It’s the non-cons on our schedule being so bad.

Nobody seems to really understand how RPI works.

Well I’d obviously be happy to be in the postseason I prefer to avoid the Tennessee regional. They have a heck of a team this year.
They should be the #1 overall seed. I’d be furious if I were them and had UConn and NC State to contend with in region play
