LSU up 9-0. Gamecocks are done,

Wow. 11-0 kitties, still Top 3.

Holy **** tigahs

West Virginia pushed them to the 10th but Okie State moves on to the BDF Championship Game with a 4-3 win. Was hoping WV could at least push the Pokes to the if necessary game.

I hope the sips go to Baton Rouge.

That would be unwatchable with all the talk about those two storied programs meeting in the Regional.

Just add Roger Clements to Ben McDonald on the broadcast and let the made up stories of all the Aggie shinanagins at Olsen go full throtle.

Man, it's really not Carolina's day when crap like that happens.

I just hope we have some of this offense tomorrow.

Chad Freaking Spanberger. Holy cow.

Piggies all over the Gators. 8-0 Top 2.

7 bombs in the last 17 ab's for Spanberger. Incredible. And he isn't just hitting mistakes...he's crushing really good pitches.

all right, looks like it's been a very good day for the maroon-n-white so far:

Southern Miss won its first game and will play again tonight.

Missouri State is still alive due to weather.

St. John's won their game and advanced to Sunday.

Maryland won its first game and will play again tonight.

South Alabama won and advance to the championship game.

Florida State knocked Duke out of the ACC tournament.

South Carolina is done.

the one negative is Oklahoma State's advancing to the Big 12 title game

UCLA (30-25) finishes off Oregon and wins the series. The Bruins finish in 3rd place in the Pac-12 at 19-11...ahead of likely regional host Arizona. RPI #50. SoS #26. Non-conference SoS #18.

UCLA is in...and that trims the available at-large spots to 6

both New Mexico and New Mexico State have been eliminated from their conference tournaments. Neither will make the postseason. For a while it looked like both could be potential opponents for A&M in a Lubbock or Tucson regional

Sam Houston leading 4-2 in the 7th inning in the Southland championship game

W - Your efforts are much appreciated. As we sit right now, how do you feel the Ags chances are?

right now I think the Ags are in with about 3 or 4 spots to spare

Pretty tight but it is what it is. Just make it and see what happens. Thanks.

one note for tomorrow...Arkansas has never won the SEC tournament. Last tournament championship was in 1985 in the old SWC

Sam Houston and Coach Deggs make it back-to-back Southland tournament titles.

one thing you have to say about the Van Horn-Childress-Deggs coaching tree...they know how to win conference tournaments. I believe this makes 9 or 10 for the trio through the years.

the Bearkats are probably a 3-seed. They may be pushing the Ags out of Lubbock and further west

the sips finally get over the hump and beat TCU.

it will be Oklahoma State vs. t.u. for the Big 12 championship tomorrow.

the announcement of regional hosts is Sunday night

Arkansas and LSU both have 2 run-rule, shutout wins this tournament. Baseball is weird, so expect a 2-1 game tomorrow. We might go years without seeing such a weird SEC tournament again.

ouch, Gonzaga is on the way to being double-dipped by BYU tonight. Could make the West Coast conference a 2-bid league

North Carolina ends Miami's run in the ACC tournament. FSU and UNC will play for the title tomorrow.

Miami is squarely on the bubble at 30-27 and an 18-14 record vs. ACC opponents. RPI #40. SoS #4. The 'canes do not have a series win vs. a regional team

Southern Miss wins again to set up a big game tomorrow vs. Rice for the C-USA tournament championship

I have us as the 4th to last team in right now. Tomorrow has to come unhinged for us to be really sweating...but I'm already sweating anyway.

yep, it's amazing how many bid-stealers are still alive. I count 7 tournament championship games that could mess things up for the bubble teams:

Big 12, B1G, Sun Belt, C-USA, AAC, MVC, and Big East

Thanks for keeping us posted guys.

BYU is trashing Gonzaga 15-3 in the second game. So the Cougars will win the West Coast auto bid. Gonzaga will remain in the at-large pool.

BYU did not play a game on Sunday the entire season. Will their regional be moved up to Thursday?

Yes their regional would be Thurs-Sat. They do not play on Sundays.

with Saturday's action winding down, here's how things look with 1 day of baseball to go.

there are 27 of 33 at-large spots claimed. Leaving 6 available among these 11 teams:

#32 Maryland*
#33 South Alabama*
#34 St. John's*
#38 UConn
#40 Miami
#41 McNeese
#45 A&M
#46 LaTech
#50 Old Dominion
#51 Gonzaga
#53 San Diego

the first 3 teams are still playing in their conference tournament. South Alabama needs 1 win to earn the auto-bid. Both Maryland and St. John's have to win 2 games tomorrow for the auto-bid. A&M needs all three to win tomorrow and leave the at-large pool.

if all 11 teams remain in the pool...I think A&M, St. John's, ODU, and Gonzaga are the top 4 at-large candidates in no particular order

there are a lot of factors at work among these 11 teams.

-- St. John's, Gonzaga, and McNeese are the regular season champions of their leagues

-- the Maryland AD is on the committee

-- the committee chairman is from the West Coast conference...a plus for Gonzaga & San Diego

-- Gonzaga may be the only team within bus distance of Corvallis, Oregon

-- the NCAA is trying to spread the popularity of college baseball across the country. It would be a blow to the Northeast for both St. John's and UConn to be left out

-- C-USA was the #6 RPI conference. The league is worthy of an at-large team...a plus for ODU and LaTech

-- Miami has not missed regional play since the Nixon Administration

-- SEC! SEC! SEC!
