Kansas got a tough one. 1/2/3 seeds RPI ranks are 19/21/23. 4 seed is the 2nd highest ranked 4 seed at 88.
USM not much better; 12/26/25/89.
USM has a lot of NIL money. I wish we had that so we could play in these things.
USC with an rpi of 9 having to travel to Aggyville.
Reminds me of the year our rpi was top 5 and we were sent to Arizona State.
- We were #8 selection day, but Rice was #7 so they got the Houston regional. At least we were the 1 seed at Tempe.
NCAA only passed over two teams in their RPI’s this year.
In, #51 NC St & # 44 AZ St.
Out, #28 Mercer & #39 Pittsburg.
Some of the picks don’t make sense….
In some cases they took higher RPI teams even though their Quad 1 and Quad 2 records were worse than teams left out.
And then did the exact opposite on others.
“No team in the D1Baseball rankings era (since 2015) had ever gone wire-to-wire as the No. 1 team until UCLA accomplished the feat this season”
Quick fact.
Of all the Regional Hosts UCLA has the lowest fan support with barely over 1k per game.
They are missing some outstanding baseball there.
Is this sarcasm? I’ve never heard of anyone from USM ever having any money unless it was Brett Favre (allegedly) scamming the State of Mississippi.
Yes. It was sarcasm directed at everyone who blames our lack of success on a lack of money.
The way some people fret publicly you’d think we were running our athletic dept out of Fred Sanford’s garage.
Nice long read.

Odd.
The weather and students on campus seems built for nice crowds.
UCLA doesn’t play on campus. It’s close but Robinson Stadium is located across the VA Center and the I-5.
The stadium is also small with only about 1,900 actual seats.
Did they preview Milwaukee layin it on Auburn?
BEST Tournament of the Year is Regionals IMO…CRAZY things happen
#16 WVU up 5-1 on Binghamtom t5
#10 Fl St up 3-2 on St Johns t5
#13 Neb up 4-1 on S Dakota St b8
INSANE !!!
FINALS
#1 UCLA goes down to St Marys 3-2 wow
#12 ATM 7-5 over Lamar
Okie St loses to S Car Upstate 8-5
Milw takes down #4 Auburn 13-7
ECU beats Tenn 7-3 in 14
Ark-LR takes down #9 So Miss
#15 Kansas 6-3 over Northeastern
#6 Sips 19 Holy Cross
Ya know.
One thing that surprises me is that UCLA (1900 seats) and USC (2500 seats) both play in smaller venues than UH and Lamar.
Lamar up 5-3 b5 1 out Ags 2 dingers in b5
GO LAMAR!!!
Alma mater of both my parents…and I love to see aTm lose.
Another Lamar homer! They are up 4-0 top of 4
And another bomb! 5-0!
Will Davis may be decent hire
