Our path to a Regional...

[BeardoMSU]

Suck it bitches!!! This team is Regional bound

Who are you yelling at, lol?

[BeardoMSU]

So is 14 enough or do we need the Mizzou sweep?

While you can never say 100% sure with a committee, and teams with RPIs in the 20s have gotten left out before, I think we should be totally safe at 14-16.

[EdwardDrayton]

Kudos to Zac for making the move in season and giving us this chance. Doesn't happen without his decision.

2 out of 3 should do it.

[Todd4State]

I don't think a 2 or 3 matters that much. Could get us a softer 1.

It could. It's hard to tell what the committee could do. I think Kendall Roger's projection was pretty accurate personally.

[KOdawg1]

What's awesome about this is we can enjoy sneaking back in the tournament and not have to worry about Lemonis keeping his job.

Selmon deserves all the credit in the world for making the move when he did.

I think the one thing we have going for us is I suspect (just a guess) that the committee will look at RPI less this year because of conference realignment causing some teams to play lower RPI teams in conference play- for example MSU vs Mizzou. A SEC team having a RPI of 150 is unheard almost for a SEC team but not just that there are some ACC teams with low RPI's as well.

So, what this has caused is teams that having good seasons in conference but with much lower RPI's than they typically should have. Virginia is a good example. They're 13-10 in ACC play but their RPI is 61. Duke has an outside chance of winning the ACC and their RPI is 36- which is worse than ours.

I think the committee is going to look at where teams place in their conference some and base some decisions based on that. That's why I think we're a 3 seed because if you look at where MSU is in the SEC standings we're 12-13 depending on what Kentucky does this weekend and I think the SEC is only going to get 14 teams in. So, I think if we can get to 11 or so in the league standings I think we can get a 2.

BUT to do that I don't think we can afford a loss the rest of the regular season. A&M lost 11 RPI points when they lose to Mizzou. So if we lose a game I do think we would get in still but we would almost without question be a 3 seed. If we lose two games we could be in big trouble- in others words I don't think we could get in with 13 SEC wins. And 14 with a loss to North Alabama and one loss to Mizzou might have the same effect.

I think the fear there was more our team getting hot and going on a run. If he made a SR I don't think we would have fired him. I don't think this team makes one anyway.

There is a low probability of us winning a regional. If we make one at all.

I could very easily see Kohn beating the 2/3 seed on Friday and Siary shutting down the host (Florida State?) on Saturday, putting us in the driver's seat.

I could see that. Also, if both pitch like they did this weekend Kohn isn't beating anyone and no one will beat Siary.

[Coach34]

We swing the bat pretty well with power.
Defense has become average since we played people consistently in the same spot
Pitching is decent
Wont be sent to an SEC Regional

We could certainly win a Regional

Pico needs to get some rest and be ready to go because he's wearing down towards the end of the season.

He needs to reel it in one more week and then take a break.

Hopefully Mizzou blew their load vs A&M and we get the shitty version of them this week.

I will say that this happening this weekend will make our ass take them a helluva lot more seriously now. We are still playing for a Regional spot

This. They need to return to early SEC season form when they were getting beat like 14-2 every game.

My hope as well.

Tigers can Hurt You ...

(1) it helps every Team makes the SECT, mizzou has a post season guarantee, no back against wall
(2) Helps they are not 0-27, that's painful, they got their win
(3) Helps MSU got OBVIOUSLY lucky AF versus OM
(4) Helps the MSU coaches have their immediate futures to consider
(5) Seems that TAM gave up this weekend. Shocking.
(6) Jackson Lovich (SS at Mizzou) is a baller. Just walk this monster. Got 8 hits, 7 RBI, 3 Runs, 0 Walks on TAM.
