Message: [QUOTE="MarkyMark, post: 4661799, member: 12210"] They got a 2. It's a soft 2 (playing the #2 overall seed) but it's a 2 and the program should be very proud of that. The program is respected and that's a great thing. I was too pessimistic and paranoid (if I was a BC fan then.....). The committee (although admitting it has flaws) basically stayed true to RPI. Do I love going to Gainesville? No. I watched a lot of college baseball this year and Florida had the most talent of any team I've seen. The only weakness I saw with Florida is the bottom third of their order is weak. But they are loaded. Caglianone is a special player. But realistically to have any chance of getting out of this region they need to beat Tech first. Assuming that happens then variance is in Uconn's favor and it really works against Florida in a short format like this. Baseball is much easier to pull off upsets in one-off games than football, for example. If anyone remembers Uconn went down there in 2016 and played Florida well (lost a close game I believe). Stating the obvious but Uconn will NOT be intimidated this weekend. Pitching needs to hold up. Looking forward to Friday. [/QUOTE]
