Someone gets Old Dominion as a 2 seed that could have hosted with a single digit RPI.
I hope it's not us.
Surprised they let South Carolina host
Lot of baseball folks saying old dominion as a 1 in South Carolina regional.
That sucks for Old Dominion if true. I mean, they should've made a bid to host, but that's like us a few years ago in WBB having to travel to Portland, Oregon as the 1 seed to play Oregon as the 2 seed.
At least send them somewhere where they won't be at an obvious disadvantage
First glance: It looks like they are basically going down the RPI line except for La Tech and they only really passed over Oklahoma State. I'm can't remember if OSU put in a bid or not. I would be surprised if they didn't. I also noticed that Oklahoma State's conference record was .500 before their tourney run. So, it looks like the committee is favoring metrics that favor MSU's resume'.
I'll hold onto my prediction of MSU being the #6 National Seed this year.
It absolutely does suck for them. Most years they would have either hosted or I've seen instances where a team like Coastal Carolina hosted at a local minor league stadium- Myrtle Beach in this case. It's only because the NCAA limited bids this year announced the 20 places that could host because of COVID protocols. There was a possibility that the host sites were going to be announced during the regular season.
if ODU or any other non traditional team earns it, they should be rewarded, despite their lack of premier facilities. Let those boys get what they earned and deserve.
ODU didnt put in a bid to host. They will be the 1 at SC most likely
