Fifteen schools eliminated
Surprises:
Arizona – 13 ranked, subregional host
Vanderbilt, Alabama, Wake Forest – P-5 schools from warm climates
Other eliminated schools:
Army, Niagara, Bryant, LIU, UPenn – northeast schools
Grambling, So Miss, W Michigan, Oral Roberts, La Tech, Nicholls – other (mostly southern) schools from smaller conferences.
That Kansas State UConn midweek match looks really cool now as both teams are on a roll.
Exactly. I’m not sure why more of these type of arms aren’t being recruited to Storrs or transferring in. Be nice to see them capitalize on this tournament’s success and add to a potentially talented and experienced nucleus of arms.Every pitcher I have seen Florida throw in their games vs Nebraska and Oklahoma State throws 95+. They play great defense. Yet, because they can’t actually pitch or locate, their team ERA is extremely high.
Some of these guys might want to transfer to UConn and learn under MacDonald…
2-0
11 seeded teams
#3 — KanSt, UConn, WV, Ore
#4 — Evansville
The home plate ump in this game has been wildly inconsistent. I watch more college baseball than maybe anyone (including just about every UConn game this season) and this is far and away the worst I’ve seen. Even the relatively careful announcers couldn’t help saying something about it: “The floating strike zone.” Would be extremely frustrated if this was our game. Glad he’s getting his work behind the dish out of the way in this one.Neither Duke nor Oklahoma look very good right now. Hope whoever wins plays like this next game…
