Men Wins Needed for a 2025 At Large Bid

hardcorehusky said:
Every year, there are guys that move in and out of the lineup before Big East play. Pitchers as well. Devin Kirby did not become a factor until a month left in the season a few years ago. The pitching will be better because guys will take their opportunity. Pudivar and Ellison are going to improve. Cooke has a ceiling, we just need him to get there and he usually kicks in after about 5 starts. Abedessa, Caruso, Afthim form a great back end to the bullpen. Shaw and Hutchinson look like they have upside. After that, who else will improve and get better? And where is Ben Schild?

I believe the issue with some of the pitchers is mental. They seem scared to throw strikes and try to paint. They fall behind in the count and put these hitters in aggressive counts which makes them more scared to throw strikes and the next thing you know they are trotting to first putting there sliding mitt on. Just need to grow a set and challenge these guys early.

Winning 2 out of 3 at Miami (who was 11-3 and 9-0 at home going into the series) form the ACC doesnt make you feel like they are on the right path because they lost Sunday? We put up 30 runs on a decent ACC staff and battled back multiple times on Sunday. Honestly, to anyone watching, we were the better team the first two games by far and held right with them on Sunday.

Oh I definitely feel much better after this weekend than any other obviously and am happy with the series win.
My point before they ended up losing the series finale was just that it would feel like they are fully back if they had swept. But as others have said on this board, the pitching is a concern.

What started as a promising weekend, ended disappointing. Won on Friday and then leading in second game, but couldn’t finish it off. Then again led in 2nd game of double-header only to lose again. Now we have 2 tough games. We need at least a split.

Go Huskies!!!

Weird year so far. Few weeks ago we have a tough stretch then beat Vandy. This week another tough few games and then beat a ranked North Carolina team.
Obviously need our starters to pitch much better, but if we can that somewhat fixed we can hopefully turn the season around.

Go Huskies!!!

Trying to over the tough loss to Florida in MBB. A game we could have won. But very happy with the effort vs a real good Florida team.

We won our 4th straight baseball game, and overall our pitching has been very solid. We are actually 2 wins better than we were after 21 games last year. Hopefully we can turn it on like we did last year.

Have a tough 9 game stretch, with 7 games on the road. 7 of the 9 games are vs teams with RPI of 61 or lower. Let’s keep the momentum rolling.

Go Huskies!!!!

Not much to say about yesterday, just a good old fashioned butt whipping. Watched the game on The Wax, and thought with a 4-0 lead we were in good shape. Unfortunately the wheels fell off.
Let’s get a win over a usually tough Northeastern team.

Not giving up on At Large bid yet, but boy do we have a lot of work to do. Two huge Big East series coming up. Going to wait till then to see if the chart needs to be tweaked or possibly put to rest for this year. I really hope not.

Go Huskies!!!

I’m usually an optimistic person, but it’s tough when I see all red in the chart after 26 games into the season. Not giving up yet, but it’s looking more and more like BE Tournament will be are only route to tournament. Hopefully we are playing our best baseball by end of season.

It's been a frustrating year, there is inconsistency as it looks like 1 step forward, 2 back, then 2 steps forward 1 back. I still have hope this team consistently moves forward in April and is peaking for the Big East Tournament and beyond.

I agree with your assessment. UConn would really have to turn things around to have any sort of a chance at an at large bid to the NCAA Tourney, that is for sure.

No. Given remaining strength of schedule (lack thereof due to the Big East really slipping in baseball), last week was the week that any chance for an at large bid went away. They're now playing for the Big East regular season championship, which is still achievable, and getting ready for the post-season knowing they'll have to win the Big East tourney to get into the NCAAs.

This sounds awfully familiar to you 1 year ago

Let's hope the results are the same. I personally feel like our pre conference schedule this year was tougher than last year and we do have some really nice wins to fall back on. Having said that we do need to turn things around quick

Certainly agree with you on this. If UConn goes on a big winning track the rest of the regular season, perhaps they may get some sort of a slim chance for an at large bid. Of course this also depends on what happens with other schools who are in contention for at large bids as well.

It would be nice to go on a 22-game winning streak like 2010. That began on March 27th and consisted of 13 straight Big East victories. A guy can dream.

I remember that winning streak, it was right around that time when I really started to follow UConn baseball closely.

Would have been a horrible game to lose. But we held on. Watching the women dismantle UCLA.
