It plays in the SEC tourney, but it's not like that matters much one way or another. The CWS is too spaced out these days for depth to really factor. UCLA had an average 3rd starter and a bad midweek guy. And 2 pretty good middle relievers that threw about 40 innings each.
For reference, their closer threw as many innings that year as Austin Sexton threw for us this year...
So, I guess it takes more than 2 starters, huh?
