[QUOTE=metro;233424]bat signal for X49er!

Maybe we’ll start Mills this time if we play them!!! :thumbsup:

We’ll be in Chapel Hill or Columbia, most likely. Just depends on who the other automatic berths in the area conferences are should we get the A-10 berth also. Charlottesville and Tallahasee are also good possibilities.

We win three games this weekend and jumped an amazing 2 spots in the RPI (#72). Ughhhhhhhhh!!! We are definitely playing for the automatic, but as we saw last season that will not be a sure thing. We didn’t exactly wear out Rhode Island, either, and that worries me. Getting the bye for the A-10 Tourney may come down to the last weekend at Richmond, the only other A-10 team in the Top 100.

don’t worry about “wearing out” URI enough. We swept them and according to what I was told, that is not an easy place to win. They play hard and the weather is frigid. We still are one of the NCAA leaders in terms of avg victory margin. Offense has ebbs and flows where pitching and defense tend to be more constant. Don’t be surprised if we scord 40 runs the next 4 games.

I still think Hibbs wanted to hide Mills from UNC so they wouldnt see his stuff- for the possible regional site at UNC. Just a hunch.

Ahhh… now, that’s the first explanation I’ve heard for not starting him that actually makes sense.

Yeah, it’s chicken and the egg at this point. Hard to tell how good we really are because we aren’t playing anyone worth a darn on a consistant basis. Chapel Hill was a good test, and Wake and VT will be also, but they are three games out of our last 23. Hard to get a gauge off of those, especially when we aren’t throwing our best pitchers.

Could be.

That’s the wisest comment of the day! I’d much rather almost beat the Tarholes in the regular season and then hit a top of the 9th homer on them in the NCAAs

11

The time for revenge will come.

12

if our football team plays in the SoCon, can we allow our baseball team to do the same?

My goodness the a10 is atrocious.

13

A 4 seed as an automatic bid is rough…I knew the A-10 was not good at baseball, but I didn’t think it was this bad.

14

I count 7 teams in the field of 64 from the ‘old CUSA’. That includes Louisville, USF and Charlotte. Damn that conference was good!

15

I didnt read the thread so maybe somebody already posted this, but maybe this bracket system was why we didn’t send our best guy against UNC. If we are gonna be stuck in a regional with them at their home, then that game was a pretty good chance to size them up and see what it takes to beat them.

16

Wake Forrest a 3 seed???

I am pretty sure metro offered this explanation in one of the other threads back when the game took place.

So who’s going to Cali?

20

That would be worse than having to play in Chapel Hill. Three west coast teams and us. They all ride a bus and we have a 6 hour flight. We would be the only ones with jet lag. I guess it beats not qualifying, though. :unsure: :thumbsup: :huh:
