We know how you feel. You caught lightning in a bottle. You got on a fantastic run and you WAAAAAAAY outpaced your reasonably expected outcome this year. You had a fantastic year, but you ran out of gas at the end. Now here's the tough part: You are probably going to suck nutsack next year. Like complete dogshit bad. Sorry. The baseball gods have spoken.

Yep, similar situation to ours in 2013. Of course, they were within a base hit in the bottom of the 9th in game 3 of winning whereas we were never really in it with UCLA. But, AZ has other baseball NCs to hang their hat on, we unfortunately don't.

Very similar. They came from a little further back as we were #14 in the poll leading up to our run. AZ was NR. They played a mind boggling 15 games in the NCAAT. We played 11 in 2013.

I guess the same could be said for coastal too. They were #15 in the pre tourney poll. Their lack of a 'pedigree' made their run much more amazing.

Yea, happy for Coastal Caroline. For a school like that, winning a NC is something they will cherish forever. Hopefully one day it happens for us.
