When every game feels like a must win, what a great comeback to get the victory. A win tomorrow gets us 2 sweeps in a row. I’m heading to the game on Tuesday, and would love watching them going for there 22nd win.

Go Huskies!!!

After the sweep of Seton Hall this weekend, UConn baseball is now tied with Xavier for 1st place in the Big East standings. Not bad at all! Of course, Xavier took the series with UConn at the beginning of Big East play.
 
Another much needed sweep. This season is reminding me a lot of last season. Slow start, then went on a streak. Last year after 38 games we were 20-18, so we are 1 victory ahead of last year’s record.

The conference RPI bothers me in that we are currently 12th, compared to last year being at 7. Of our last 17 games, only 5 games are vs teams with an RPI of under 100. Also 8 of the games are vs teams with RPI of 195 to 270.

The only thing we can keep on doing is to win the next game. It worked out last year, let’s see if we can do it again.

Go Huskies!!!

What are the chances we drop the Army game on Wednesday? I doubt we cancel the UMass game because it’s at Dunkin but the weather is iffy.

Every time I want to give up on this team, then about this time of year they turn it on. I just don't know however. The pitching this year is such a mess, way too many free passes and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. If you asked me if they deserve to make the tourney I would say no, but then again I probably have said that the last few years and then I find myself in some southern college town in early June watching a team very much worthy of being in post season baseball. The RPI numbers this year have me confused. To me they have played a much tougher schedule this year then last, plus have great victories over Vandy and UNC and 2 out of 3 on the road at Miami. Vandy just swept Georgia this weekend and Miami has taken the first 2 from Ga Tech so maybe that gives us a bump? I guess its the Big East that is bringing us down, but is it that much worse then any other year? I guess so. I would say the future looks so bright with Freshmen Lane and Rispoli and many other key contributors being under classmen, but in today's portal world you never know. I know I'll keep cheering them on, know I'll get frustrated, but hopefully we can figure this pitching thing out and just maybe we will be playing into June again.

Big East has some awful awful teams.

The Big East is certainly not a great baseball conference, but I do not think it is absolutely horrible either, at least in comparison to conferences that are below it in the RPI. Still it is quite possible that it will not get any at large bids to the NCAA Tourney, but we will see what happens. The Big East has 4 teams that are in the Top 100 in RPI, and 3 teams right now that are over 200 in the RPI range, and that last part certainly isn't good.

I see RPI 45 and only up one spot despite a sweep of SH, Vandy sweeping UGA, Miami sweeping Ga Tech and UNC now in the top 10. Not looking very good for us to move up if that didn't help much.

I think (i could be wrong) but it also depends on who drops. (Lower than us to then higher than us)

This weekend is the last chance we’ll have to make a serious move up.

Did what we needed to do vs UMass and Army to get our 10th straight win. Now a huge series vs St. John’s. Hoping Pudvar is available.

Chris Jones said during the game broadcast today that he expects that Pudvar will start the game on Friday.
 
Reality check. It is doubtful that we will be considered for an at-large berth. This weekend's series with St. John's is crucial for BE tourney positioning. Take 2 of 3, move into the #1 or #2 slot. A sweep might (emphasis on "might") put us in position for at-large consideration, but our likely path to the NCAA tourney is through the BE tourney winner's automatic bid.

Should we sneak into a #4 at-large seed, I doubt any #1 would be thrilled to face us.
 
I agree that we need a LOT of work to do for an At Large bid, but we were basically in same position last year. So I’m not giving up hope. I believe there were two projections that were posted earlier. We were first 4 out in one, and included in the field in the other. So we are on the bubble.

Stating the obvious, these next approximately 20 games are going to determine our season. Figure we need a Minimum of a 13-7 record in those 20 games. That would get us to 36 - 24. Depending on our RPI, we can sneak in.

Go Huskies!!!

Does anyone know if there are plans to ever move the BET out of Cincy? Just feels like DDP would be an awesome option.

Unfortunately, the economics of this will keep it here for as long as Prasco wants to host. I dont remember the specifics but the costs are like ridiculously low to the Big East and i think admissions and concessions are even free there. Its on the sight of a science/pharmaceutical company and they give tickets to all their employees and have a kids fun area around it so its well attended in addition to just the teams families.

I somewhat agree. Im really surprised at the at large consideration we received this week.
