Stating the obvious, but really nice to win 2 games yesterday and get into winners bracket . Great job from Feole in first game and Cate in 2nd. Also Pratto has been unbelievable.

Need 1 more win to finish all in green below. Thinking we need to win AAC tourney to have full confidence we will host a regional. But may do so anyways if we get to championship game.

Going to try to listen at work today.

Go Huskies

(Think he missed the piece about USF reportedly not submitting bid to host)

Favorable results tonight in other games, in that NCST lost and Auburn lost. As they are two teams that are on the fringe of hosting.

Great win yesterday. Not much I can add, that others haven't already posted. But man this team is resilient. Love them.

This will be the second to last chart update for this year. You may have noticed that I usually don't update chart after a loss ( superstitious). But win or lose I will post the final chart after today's game .

Win or lose, we will end in "all green" this year. Believe this will be an all-time first.

Lets go win one more and most likely guarantee hosting a regional.

Thanks for all your hard work. This was a great way to keep the season in perspective.

Ten years ago I never thought I'd be watching NCAA baseball selection shows on Memorial Day. Now it is becoming part of my normal holiday routine.

Latest RPI rankings have ECU at 12 and UConn at 16. Keeping the Huskies at 16 would have to be good news for a potential Norwich host bid.

Wonder if we host would the committee put Hartford as the #4 seed in our region

 

[HawkHusky]

I think it's safe to say we'll see UCONN on Selection Monday.

I think it's safe to say we'll see UCONN on Selection Monday.

Would rather here their name called to host on Sunday night!

Yes we would likely see some combination of Hartford, St John's, Columbia, Army, LIU Brooklyn, Northeastern. In addition to a team that would likely be shipped in.

I prefer to call it Matchup Monday. It rolls off the tongue better, IMO.

But would you prefer to "hear" it? That's the question.

Well everyone, below is last chart update of the year. If we were told at beginning of year that we would be in AAC championship game with very high hopes of hosting a regional, and doing this ( for a long stretch) without our best pitcher ( Cate), we would have all signed up for it.

Great season so far, and we have much more to accomplish. As I stated above we ended year "all green" , for the first time in this charts history.

Thanks to all that really keep this board going, with constant updates on games and other info. Don't want to mention names( because I will forget someone), but you guys are the backbone of the baseball board. Greatly enjoy following team thru your posts.

I will continue to follow and post this year, but the first time "all green" chart is retired for the year.

GO Huskies !!!!

Heck, at the beginning of the year I would have been quite satisfied if UConn made the tournament, despite all the predictions of dark horse for Omaha over the winter. It's the baby steps thing for me. It wasn't as if the Huskies were regularly getting at large bids to the NCAA tourney over the years. For this team to be on the brink of getting a host seed despite Cate missing almost all of the AAC season, as well as going through the other pitching injuries the team had, well, I still find it to be an amazing accomplishment. So far this has been a tremendously successful season.

Postseason Snapshot: May 26 | D1Baseball.com


>>Hosts

SECURE TEAMS: Florida, Oregon State, Arkansas, Stanford, Ole Miss, Georgia, Clemson, North Carolina, Florida State, Stetson, Texas Tech, Minnesota

ON THE BUBBLE (IN): East Carolina, Texas, UConn, Auburn

ON THE BUBBLE (OUT): NC State, Coastal Carolina, Duke, Louisville

One change from yesterday: UConn replaces NC State as a host.

The Huskies climbed to No. 16 in the RPI after reaching the AAC tournament championship game, where it is currently playing ECU. At this point, we think both AAC finalists are on track to host, regardless of today’s outcome. UConn gives the field some geographic diversity, but that’s not the only reason it gets the edge over NC State, Coastal Carolina and Duke. Even if UConn loses today, it shouldn’t fall farther than No. 17 in the RPI, and Northern teams with that kind of RPI generally wind up hosting, assuming they performed well in conference. UConn is also 11-10 vs. the top 50, which is actually better than both NC State (9-8) and Duke (6-7), who have enormous geographic advantages over UConn when it comes to midweek scheduling, in particular.<<

D1Baseball has UCF as the last team getting at an large bid, which would mean the AAC gets 5 teams into the tourney.

Postseason Snapshot: May 26 | D1Baseball.com

>>64. UCF

The fact the Knights were winless in their conference tournament certainly plays a role here, but they still have better metrics than some of the other contenders out there. UCF has an RPI of 42 (which is down six spots from Sunday), along with a 10-15 mark vs. RPI Top 50 and a 22-19 record vs. RPI Top 100. The Top 100 mark is definitely respectable. Greg Lovelady’s club will be sweating it out on Monday.<<

So far, from the Northeast part of the country Army, Hartford, LIU Brooklyn, Canisius, and Columbia have earned auto bids. St. John’s is in the BE final today v Seton Hall, and will qualify either way (winning BE or at-large). Northeastern should get an at-large, but who the hell knows with the committee. Their RPI is 35, but got knocked out of their tourney before the final by Wagner. They should be hoping for all the favorites to win their conference tourneys today. Bryant spit the bit in their tourney, so their season is over.

Would be great if we had an all NE region of 1 UConn, 2 SJU, 3 Northeastern, 4 Hartford/LIU/Canisius. Long shot, but a boy can dream.
