The 2 juggernauts everyone was terrified to face (UCLA and GT) didn’t even make it out of their own regionals.

UGA is the best team left standing. But, we’re pretty close to them. The weekend may be a coin flip with them losing Phelps for Game 1, and us getting a healthy McPherson. In Omaha, with only 1 game every 2 days, our biggest weakness (bullpen) is not so exposed until the finals.

Not scared of them. Duke shut them down, and we built that big lead on Sunday but didn’t have the arms to finish them.

We’re a whole different club with a healthy McPherson.
Texas pitchers are better than ours. I do think we have a great chance against them but it will be a very tough matchup for us. UGA I’m less worried about than Texas but that’s just my outlook which doesn’t mean much.

This looks like it should be at least a bracket final in Omaha. Reseeding would have really helped this tournament.

Buy, solely based on the fact that GA is the best team in the country and has been all season...and if we beat them, I'd have to think that would make us favorites.

GA is the best team in the country. Has been all season. ******** raking's made it not so on paper. RPI and schedule is BS too. ACC is way overrated.

Except for that pen. It's still the same.
