I don't think we could've gotten a worse draw. Obviously you want to stay out of the losers bracket for as long as possible and getting through the first two games without a loss is going to be extremely difficult. Maybe they get hot and surprise me though. I certainly didn't think they'd end up winning four straight to win the regional last year.
What do people think about the possible pitching matchups?
I would like to see UConn start off with Fischer tomorrow and then maybe pitch him again on Sunday if we're lucky enough to get that far. (I don't know what Penders' policy on three days rest is)
Then I think we should go with Marzi in the second game and then go inning by inning from there on. A few guys have had very good outings recently.
The best case realistic scenario in my mind is that we get by USF twice and Louisville decides not to take it seriously because they're already in the tournament. That would get us to the final and we could take our chances on the other side. St. Johns is likely already in the tournament as the token At-Large Northern team, but they're not solidly in, so they'll have something to play for.
I don't want to get my hopes up, but I still like the talent on this team. Who knows, maybe they have something up their sleeve.
