The structure of the NCAA Baseball Tournament is a bit different from the more familiar hoops variant, so here are a few takeaways on that front ...

•The field includes 31 automatic bids via conference championships and 33 at-large entrants. The first round of play is known as the regional, and it's a round-robin, double-elimination format. Each of the 16 one-seeds hosts its respective regional, when possible.

•The winner of each regional advances to the super regional, which are represented by the blank brackets above. The super regional is a best-of-three series format.

•The winner of each super regional -- eight teams in all -- advances to the College World Series in Omaha, which starts June 13.

•The College World Series is a double-elimination format until the final two teams are left standing. At that point, it's a best-of-three series to determine the national champion.

•The field of 64 also includes eight national seeds. Here they are, ranked in order ...

1. UCLA (42-14)
2. LSU (48-10)
3. Louisville (43-16)
4. Florida (43-16)
5. Miami-FL (44-14)
6. Illinois (47-8-1)
7. TCU (43-11)
8. Missouri State (45-10)

If a national seed wins its region, then it hosts the super regional. Otherwise, the sites of the super regionals will be announced on June 1, after the regional round concludes.

It's disrespectful to the Big East to put the conference champ as a four seed. It's the lowest seed possible. The good news is that OSU is not a powerhouse one seed. Arkansas is a from a great conference but is very beatable. We could win this regional easily. Also, I see Oregon winning their regional and the we lost a pretty close series to them in Eugene at the start of the year before the team started to click.

We've won 15 in a row and 19 out of 20.

There are 64 teams in the tournament.
Seeds 49 thru 64 get a 4 seed.
SJU has an RPI of 67.
Got it?

I read that Missouri State can't host a Super Regional based on a scheduling conflict so if we were to win our regional and they also win their regiona; (they're one of the top 8 seeds) we would host the Super Regional.

Texas is #86 in the RPI and barely over .500 but they are a three seed.

 

[bamafan]

Read a college baseball poll where SJU moved up to #21 after BE T so to be a 4 seed doesn't seem kosher. But whatever, you need to win games wherever you are seeded.

[TX Redman]

Weekend weather forecast for Oklahoma is for rain, more rain, tornadoes, rain, wind, rain, snakes, rain.

I am not kidding about the snakes. With all the flooding down here, the snakes have been heading for higher ground.

 

[TX Redman]

Down by a run (3-2) end of 3.

 

[TX Redman]

We have loaded the bases with 2 out!

K.

Down 4-3, mid 7th

 

[TX Redman]

Tied game! Heading into bottom of the 9th. Hold 'em!

Crap, OSU have loaded the bases, no outs

Lost 5-4. Up next Oral Roberts, 1pm tomorrow. Must win game.

In the bottom of the 9th there was a OSU hitter hit by a pitch, in the face.
But it may have been a foul ball (he was trying to bunt), and at the very least he offered at the pitch.
Should have been a strike.

THat put two men on with no out. And having hit the batter in the face clearly rattled our pitcher, a side armer with a lot of movement who probably isnt ideally suited for pitching with men on base like that.
Too much movement on his pitches to trust him in a spot where you cant walk anybody.
