Men Wins Needed for a 2025 At Large Bid
- Thread starter ucjoet
- Start date
At this point the teams that are most likely to make the Big East Tournament all currently have RPI's in the top 100, including UConn. So it would seem that in addition to the Northeastern game tomorrow, the Big East Tournament will have UConn involved in games against teams that have quality RPI's. Of course, there is a chance that St. John's will not be in the top 100 RPI by the time of the Big East Tournament assuming they make the Tourney, but we'll see what happens.

Now that it is the real business end of the season RPI wise, one thing not to overlook is RPI's and results of our opponents. Texas A&M just got swept at home by Missouri (3 quad ones right there boost their RPI). FAU was 62 as of yesterday and if they can improve into the top 60, our road series becomes a quad 1. Beating Northeastern would be a quad 2 unfortunately, but the RPI is more important.

Looks like St. John's will be in the Big East Tournament no matter what. The only team that could tie them is Seton Hall, and St. John's swept the series with Seton Hall this season.

Tonight could have solidified us I think. Now we have work to do. Avoid a landmine vs Maine and we can probably survive with a 2-2 BET.
Kinda disheartening the way they’ve been exposed by the only decent teams they’ve played the last 6 weeks

Is this saying that we're the only BE school with the possibility of landing an at-large bid?2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament Bracket: Projected Field Of 64 (May 14)

What last night did was remove our margin for error against Maine. We used up the one remaining loss we could have without threatening our at large qualification. A loss to Maine would make me very, very nervous. But a loss to Maine at home shouldn’t happen

If Creighton or St. John's wins the BE Tournament there is no way in hell they are letting three Big East teams in the NCAA's. Xavier sweeps Penn State and UCONN loses one to Maine and it's going to be a nerve racking Sunday into selection Monday. Xavier would have head to head and RPI on us with a better SOS. UCONN is 11-13 against Quad 1 and 2 and Xavier is 13-20. UCONN has better Quad 1 wins and dominated the BIG EAST offensively with a better conference record.. UCONN is also hotter playing over .800 baseball the second half. I think UCONN's recent tournament success has to play into it as well. Sweep Maine, win a game or 2 in the BIG EAST tournament and they should get in but if there are some crazy tournament upsets the at large pool gets harder. You know they are going to let as many power 4 teams in as they can without it looking too obvious.

I agree with this. The SEC is going to almost put the entire conference into the tournament. It's outrageous. Give them them the opportunity and they'll start lobbying for Mizzou, for God's sake!

They did just sweep the preseason #1 team. They’ll probably get in now.

They did beat us by 4 runs at a neutral site. Having said that, I don't see how some good wins can overcome both their record and their RPI.

This may be my last post of the season. We are off to Italy for 2 weeks. I’m going to do my best to continue to follow and post, but that will be dependent on WiFi, cell service and time difference. Some random thoughts below.
(1) after a very slow start, we ended with an impressive run at the end of the season. Kudos to the players and coaches
(2) with hopefully a win tomorrow, we would be very close to meeting the charts goals below ( pre BE tourney).
(3) assuming a win tomorrow ( I hope this isn’t a jinx), I think we would be in great shape for a bid with a couple of wins in BE tourney.
(4) worse case scenario is losing to Maine, losing both games in BE and St. John’s winning BE.
(5) as always, thanks to everyone of the board. Your game updates, comments and banter make the season fun.
Again, I will do my best to keep posting. Also my hope is that when I return, we will be playing in a regional.
Let’s keep winning!!!
Go Huskies!!!!
