I agree and pretty much posted the same thing on the other thread. Maybe even only getting one win on Saturday against ECU could get us in. But then again even if that happened we would be looking at Cross not being able to pitch the 1st game of the regional due to suspension.

why is cross suspended.

Arguing balls and strikes when davey struck out. Davey and cross both got tossed.

Oh for God sake you cant say crap to these dam umpires anymore, they get their little feelings hurt. That's totally bush league by the ump, what an idiot, cant stand them.

He was out of the game when it occurred and came from inside dugout after Davey was arguing @ plate... I want to know if he got misconduct/unsportsmanlike toss or or verbal abuse/bench jockeying toss. Difference in length of suspension. Not sure it's been made public which yet...

By splitting our first 2 tourney games are win total is now at 34 and RPI at 48. Thinking more then ever that we need to get to Championship game to have a chance at an at large bid. In my mind , I believe Houston , USF and ECU are pretty much locks for NCAA's.

USF knocked off by Memphis today. Thoughts of USF Beat Writer on Tourney:

1:45pm via Twitter Web Client
Are Bulls (33-24-1) in the NCAAs? Your conjecture's as good as mine. Solid RPI & SOS, but dropped 10 of last 16. Selection show is Monday
 
33 wins is low but I think their RPI is top 25 or so. Dropping 10 of 16 shouldn't factor in though assuming they look weight the whole season evenly.

This cant hurt , unless Memphis goes on a winning streak. Obviously we need to win at minimum the next 2 games.
 
Unbelievable. My wife and I left the house to go to a wake ( unfortunately a friend of my parents passed away) with UConn down 6 - 2 and thinking season was over. After wake my wife and I stopped to get something to eat , and at that time I checked for score. Couldn't believe it when I saw the 7 - 6 final. I posted yesterday what I thought we needed to happen for us to get an at large bid. So far so good. The first 2 steps are accomplished.



So below is what I was rooting for

ECU beats Tulane ( Yes )
We beat Tulane ( Yes)
We then beat ECU twice.
 
Not sure if only 1 more win would be enough for an at large bid. But it would get us to the previous 2 years magic combo of 36 wins and an RPI of 43 or less. I still think we need to get 2 wins vs ECU, but we may have an outside chance if we only get 1 more win. At least the season if still going on with something to root for.





New Goals


Currently 35 wins - Goal 36 wins

Currently 48 RPI - Goal 43 or less
 
I am now assuming the only 2 AAC locks are Houston and ECU. That leaves the 4 teams below fighting for 2 spots ( if we assume AAC gets 4 bids).

I base the following statistics on UConn winning next 2 but losing championship game to Houston. Houston beating Memphis in next game. Tulane and USF seasons are complete. That would leave 4 AAC teams with following resumes

UConn 37 - 25 .597 RPI 38 ( guess)
Memphis 37 - 21 .637 RPI 65 ( guess)
Tulane 34 - 23 .596 RPI 42 ( current)
USF 33-25-1 .577 RPI 29 ( current)


If this does happen. UConn would have the second best winning % and second best RPI. I would be very surprised if we did not get in under these circumstances.

Again all of this is a moot point if we do not win vs ECU. But like I said above , at least we have something to root for. Go Huskies.
 
good morning, its going to be very hard to win these games as our pitching is depleted, don't know who can start the next game as all the starters have pitched.

Totally agree that it is not going to be easy, but this is all we have to root for. Not sure why, but I am optimistic that we are going to get it done. Maybe just my perception, but it seemed like we did not get many breaks during this season. Hoping they even out over next few days.

HaHa I don't think we got one break, between the bad umpiring and the bad bounces, just look at yesterday bases loaded hard hit ground ball up the middle, hits the pitchers shin and goes right to the first basemen, you cant script that any better for the other team, well I have faith and bb is a funnt game . GOOD LUCK ALL

What I am really hoping is that the committee takes into consideration that UConn because of playing in the NE has to play the most road games of any of the teams in the AAC.
 
Well Houston is stomping Memphis so that's another positive for the at large hopes. If UConn wins two today I think they're a virtual lock for the tournament unless there is some crazy stuff going on in the other conferences like a bunch of 50-10 teams losing their championship games in weak conferences.

Does the AAC tourney have a mercy rule?

So this format is double elimination up til a winner take all final?

Probably in trouble right now. Perhaps in their quest to extend the reach of college baseball they'll be lenient for UConn :confused:

Still 6 outs left. Comeback would make me feel a lot better.
 
That game was ours to win, we just didn't get it done. We had a lot of chances to bury them, we still might get in. Also I would like to say that the men did a great job and never quit, im proud of them. We showed a lot of people what UConn is all about. GO HUSKIES

I suspect this season is quite over. But as a Husky fan, I do look forward to next season, or seasons for the various UConn teams.

I also think we had our chances and could have pulled out a win. Not as optimistic as you about getting in. Hope you are correct ,but I am thinking we fall short. I think we needed at least 1 win today, and if we had beaten ECU twice I thought we were definitely in.

Again hope we get in .
