Baseball is so unpredictable (as is this team). Hopefully, this team is at full strength heading into the AAC tourney. With so many home games left on the schedule, they control their own destiny. They have to take advantage of playing at home. They just need to play above .500 the rest of the way. Beat the teams you should, HC, RI, SHU, and Northeastern. Take at least 2 of three from Tulane and Memphis. Don’t get swept by Houston and ECU. IMO, worst case scenario, they can go 9-8 the rest of the way. Anything below that means they’re losing to teams they shouldn’t. My hope is 11-6, play well against Houston and ECU even if they lose 2 of 3 in those series. Now, if they get healthy, play well, and can go 13-4 down the stretch (winning 2 of 3 against Houston and ECU), then a 35-16-1 record looks....

Hopefully a 2 seed io the Clemson Pod. I'll be there.

The fact that they are doing this with out Kate coupled with other injuries bodes well. They are swinging the bats very well. Shaking off the early Northeast cobwebs it seems. Got to sweep Tulane and win one of the ECU Houston weekends.

Thinking UConn (2-1), ECU (3-0), UCF (2-1), USF (2-1), and Cincy (2-1).

I have no idea how UH keeps winning with that offense but I wouldn't be surprised to see them get exposed. Kansas is awful on the road and the cats should win the Perez game and split the other two. I also think Memphis will eventually start winning conference games...I mean, they have to at some point, right?

Also, I don't expect to sweep a Tulane team that just beat LSU with all of our injuries. We should win the Feole game but past that, all bets are off.

If we don't get anyone back, a 3-2 week is okay. If we were healthy I would expect to wreck these teams but alas

I wouldn’t read too much into Tulane’s win over LSU. I think it’s been 3 years since LSU has beat them and LSU was in the championship last year.

I can't imagine why anyone would be rooting for a #2 seed with a team that is top 16 RPI and playing as well as we have been playing. The goal has to be to get a #1 seed somewhere.

I was just thinking- are home games really home games at this point for this team? They have been road warriors for so long that home is like another road game right now. They literally have no routine for a home game and between games at the Dunk and J.O., it will take time to develop a rhythm.

They would have to host? I don't see it. JO can't handle it.

Norwich where they hosted in 2010.

1. As someone else said, Norwich.

2. You can be a #1 seed and not host. UConn hosted as a #2 seed one year, which meant the #1 seed was on the road.

Maybe New Britain?

Well done, Troy! The senior helped lead the Huskies to a series win at Cincinnati and a 3-1 week overall. The CF secured three multi-hit games, batting .412 with eight hits, seven RBIs, four runs scored, three doubles and hit his 5th dinger of the year! #UConnNation

Padgett is a monster. He wore the NECBL out a few years ago.
