Men Wins Needed for a 2025 At Large Bid

[ucjoet]

Just over two weeks to the start of the 2025 UConn Baseball season. Always love this time of year, because with baseball starting it makes spring feel like its just around the corner. Looking forward to another strong UConn Baseball season. As I say every year, I want to thank everyone that post during the off season. I read every post and your updates are always appreciated. Also thanks in advance to the posters that update us during games. Sometimes that is the only way I am able to keep up on games.

My criteria for a post season bid has basically been the same for the last 16 years. The only addition has been the Conference RPI criteria. Over the last 2 years there have been 51 teams that have had 40 or more wins and an RPI of under 50. Of those 51 teams , 49 have made the NCAA tournament (.96%). The only 2 teams that missed out were Kent St in 2023, and Charleston in 2024. The Mid American conference (Kent St) had a conference RPI of 20, and the Coastal Atlantic (Charleston) had a conference RPI of 10. So I added a 4th criteria of Conference RPI of less than 10.

I totally understand that meeting the 4 criteria does Not guarantee a tournament bid, but I believe it gives us a good barometer to see if we are on track. Please look over chart and let me know if you have any questions. I cant wait for season to start.

GO Huskies!!!

PS. If anyone is attending the baseball event on Feb 6th, let me know. It would be nice to meet some fellow UConn Baseball Boneyarders

(1) Minimum 40 wins

Whatever I think of the metrics, and even though we’re not officially halfway through winter, it’s always great to see the first sign of spring!!!

 

[ucjoet]

Hey businesslawyer, I know you are not the biggest fan of the metrics, and I actually get it. They are very simplistic and don’t take all possible variables into account. Example being last year we only had 32 regular season wins and we got in, not close to the goal of 40 wins. I actually changed the chart goals at mid season.

The chart is for amusement purposes, that gives us one barometer on if we are on track for an NCAA bid. It keeps me engaged in the season and I hope others enjoy it.

To be clear, I appreciate the effort and you giving us something — anything — to go by. Unlike others, I have no need to get into arguments about metrics with anyone. So everyone who likes keeping track based on this — and I look at it weekly — should go on happily doing so.

Wanted to wait until we got a victory to post the first update but maybe by posting the momentum changes. Not the start we were all hoping for. Let’s leave today with a victory.

Stating the obvious, not the start we were looking for. Need to break through with a win, to hopefully turn this around. Definitely need to cut down on strikeouts.
