Message: [QUOTE="Omahabound, post: 4981098, member: 12923"] Conference ranking matters when determining the field with an opportunity to get to the CWS. Imo, that’s all. It’s great that the BE is much improved, however, are there arms within the conf that’ll prep Uconn for the type of talent that they faced last year in NCAA. Idk about that. I haven’t seen these guys pitch but if I have to guess based upon what I’ve seen or followed, probably not, overall. It doesn’t mean there are not very good pitchers in the conference, but again, what’s the goal as a program?? Not BE dominance and getting into the dance. Get to Omaha! Go find the one or two bats/arms that’ll get em over the hump. It’s getting frustrating as a fan listening and reading about conference improvement. You were a win away from the CWS two short years ago and now the BE and the schedule are the main reasons for the drop off…grad transfers and the lack of the Prato’s Kay’s Feole’s Cate’s in recruiting and development is why Uconn has struggled to find it. You never know, a hot staff or contagious hitting and a favorable draw in the tournament with an unexpected trip to the Supers and all this is forgotten. [/QUOTE]
