Way to grind one out they had to have today
If following the "at large bid" details correctly, win every game rest of regular season would be 41-18 for regular season and win 24 of 25 to end season. RPI in low 30's, no quad 4 loses and winning record in quad 2 (more quad 1 wins than 8 teams ranked ahead of UConn). Seems pretty solid to me, but then I'm a pretty casual baseball fan and pretty easy to convince myself when want something to be true.In all candor, even if we were to win every remaining game until the conference tournament, fall short there but perform as well as logically possible without winning the tournament, I'm not sure someone would be able to convince me that we warrant an at large bid.
We need to win as many games as we can for seeding in the BE tournament, then take home that trophy.
I think if they win out the regular season they will be in the NCAAs. Frankly, I think one more loss and they’re still probably o.k., but I won’t be comfortable if they go 0-2 in the Big East Tourney. The last seven games are all at home, and six are against very poor teams. Doesn’t mean they can’t lose one of those — it’s baseball — but if they keep playing well they’re in good shape.If following the "at large bid" details correctly, win every game rest of regular season would be 41-18 for regular season and win 24 of 25 to end season.

I'm guessing they will use Cooke against Butler, but limit the pitch count hopefully using him Friday or Saturday so they can start him against NortheasternAny chance with no week games this week, and manageable home series vs Butler/Maine left, that we line some of our best pitching up to be able to face Northeastern? That win can get us in.
Wins over Vanderbilt, UNC and 2 against Miami will weigh heavily in our favor.I think if they win out the regular season they will be in the NCAAs.

I imagine that Oklahoma wouldn't be all that thrilled to see us.That would be tough. Travel across the country and face a 1st round draft pick 1st game.![]()
Yeah, and their fans must be getting tired of seeing us in the postseason…first baseball regionals last year, then the first round of March Madness this yearI imagine that Oklahoma wouldn't be all that thrilled to see us.
Depends what Cooke you get. The staff is playing to win that specific midweek. Whatever it takes.It would be nice if Cooke can be the starting pitcher against Northeastern, but we will have to see how things go in the series against Butler. Of course, Butler is a contender for being the worst baseball team in the Big East, but whether or not Cooke gets to start against Northeastern will depend on how the series against Butler goes and whether the coaching staff find they need to use him in order to win those games.
With the way UConn has been playing and winning so many games of late, I'm thinking UConn has a pretty good chance of making the NCAA Tournament assuming they keep on winning much more than they lose.

Obviously they want to beat Northeastern, but if you had to lose 1 game out of these last 7 that is the one that would do the least damage to their RPI.Depends what Cooke you get. The staff is playing to win that specific midweek. Whatever it takes.
From an RPI standpoint, I don’t think it matters. I think if you go 6-1 against a particular schedule, it doesn’t matter where the one loss is. Beating Northeastern would be a boost helping us to overcome a loss to Butler or Maine, while losing to Northeastern won’t have a terrible effect but then we get nothing positive from the other 6 wins. But if I’m wrong someone can correct me.Obviously they want to beat Northeastern, but if you had to lose 1 game out of these last 7 that is the one that would do the least damage to their RPI.
I do think a NE win could have weight when seeding comes. It strengthens our resume.From an RPI standpoint, I don’t think it matters.

Whether the Committee cares more about a strong win or a horrible loss, who knows.
