2023 NCAA Regionals Thread

[Horny Bull 2766]

Host sites are about to be announced via twitter. 

[Levi 2588]

[chase25 2048]

Auburn hosting a regional is just sad

[Horny Bull 2766]

Auburn

LSU

Virginia

Clemson

South Carolina

Coastal Carolina

Miami

Arkansas

Florida

Kentucky

Vanderbilt

Stanford

Oklahoma State

Indiana State

Alabama

Wake Forest

 

Those are your hosts. We will find out our fate tomorrow morning.

[kingkoopa6 8376]

8. Is this deserved ? Seems like a lot 

[Hookem2147 21345]

Indiana State hosting is an absolute joke. 2 Q1 wins. Two.

South Carolina is also very questionable. They haven’t even been a top 25 caliber team the last month.

[MirrOlure 14802]

So they’ll put us and Aggy in the Stanford or ISU regional. Awesome

Pack up all your dishes
Make note of all good wishes
And say goodbye to the landlord for me
That son of bitch has always bored me

Throw out them L.A. papers
That mouldy box of Vanilla Wafers
Adios, to all this concrete
Gonna get me some dirt road back streets.

 

I can just get off of this L.A. freeway
Without gettin' killed or caught
Down that road in a cloud of smoke
To some land I ain't bought, bought, bought….

I think if they’re willing to give Auburn and SC a hosting spot then it’s not out of question they give Aggie a 2 seed somewhere.

Remember how every year the committee claims they really don't rely on RPI very much?

BA has ISU ranked #25

D1B has them unranked.

Coaches' poll has them unranked.

RPI?  #9.   NINE.

And they have been the one team in the RPI that has smelled funny all year (I pointed it out in the NCAA thread):

[NeverMarryAStripper 21912]

I’d probably go if they sent us to Arkie or LSU.

That's fucking ridiculous. Both how much RPI weighs in and 8 hosts from on conference.

[Hookem2147 21345]

I’ll call my shot now. Texas to the Stanford regional with Fullerton as the 3 and San Jose State as the 4.

Probably means we are headed to Miami or Auburn.

I want Stanford because it's easy for me to get to.  Any regional with Washington would be my second choice. 

[msucolt45 4063]

Anyone know when they drop the regional placements/schedules?

Hook’em!!!

11 AM CENTRAL TEXAS TIME

But they drag it out for 20 minutes... so..

[BrazilHorn 6624]

I’m pulling for Texas to LSU as I’ll be in BR Friday night. 

[Rockethorn1978 6101]

I think we’re a lock for lsu or arky.

What a shitty season. Maybe we will get hot and make a run or still be shitty away from the disch. I have low expectations.

Based on….?

[zlavydra 2123]

Hoping for Auburn, based on nothing more than a 2 hour and 15 minute drive from home.

Geography 

Unless aggy is in the field and they want us paired with them for a 2/3 matchup. Then we could be headed to california or the Carolinas.

When's the last time there were no host sites in the state of Texas?

The committee putting a blue blood like Texas somewhere close? It’s done literally all the time.

For the first time since 1999, when the 64-team bracket was created for the national tournament, there won’t be a regional host from Texas.

It's remarkable how shitty college baseball in this state has gotten.

Selection show starting now on ESPN2.

2013, I think. 

[HenryJames 66135]

Are we the top seed?

[zlavydra 2123]

Can Maryland compete with Wake?

[Homercles 10206]

I get that the SEC fans and money are heavily invested in baseball, and they win a lot of nattys…but damn, half the hosts being SEC certainly ensures they have a higher chance of making it to Omaha.  Self-fulfilling

Is it? Not the remarkable part but the shitty part.

Let’s hope that continues when we join the sec.

[Horn80 6131]

Wow.  Didn’t see Coral Gables regional coming.  Like our chances there.

[Horny Bull 2766]

A&M shipped out west. 

[Underdog 28754]

Hope the Green Wave can handle the travel expenses. 

[Had Enough 2083]

Wow.  Didn’t see Coral Gables regional coming.  Like our chances there.

You didn’t read Baseball America? They got Texas and Maine right.

[Horny Bull 2766]

West Virginia sent to Kentucky.

[Horn80 6131]

No, I didn’t.  Figured they probably send Texas out west to Stanford.

Baylor, Rice, and Houston have gone to shit.  

UT, Tech, aggy aren't as good as they used to be.  Shit, even the SWAC teams who would sometime pull a regional upset are horrible.

[Cairn Horn88 8277]

So, if Horns win the Miami regional, where do we go for Supers....or is it possible for us to back into a super host site?

[zlavydra 2123]

ULL is 47th in RPI
