I might have been wrong

[engie]

about the SEC being very down this year in baseball...

 

[57stratdawg]

Top teams certainly got their legs underneath them.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

LSU had a shaky start

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

But I'm okay with LSU losing their regional

 

[engie]

It's like that time Alcorn jumped out on us 2-0...

LSU losing that regional would be glorious. It's the easiest of the 16 by far IMO.

 

[57stratdawg]

Their regional is an absolute joke.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Wasn't it just as big a cakewalk last year?

 

[patdog]

Their regional is an absolute joke.

So not much different than their regional usually is then.

 

[EurekaDog]

It's the traditionally easy regional for LSU. (NM)

Will be interesting to see how today shakes out...

LSU locked in.
Arkansas in a winner-take-all for a regional title in Fayetteville tonight against Mizzou St.
Florida in a winner-take-all tonight in Gainesville tonight against Bethune Cookman.
Kentucky in a winner-take-all tonight in Lexington against NC State.
aTm in the driver seat tonight at/vs Houston. Have to lose twice to go home.
MSU behind the 8 ball in Hattiesburg. Have to win two today.
Auburn in a winner-take-all tonight in Tallahassee against the Seminoles.
Vandy in a winner-take-all tonight in/vs Clemson.

So, the SEC got 8 into the tournament of 64. (12.5%)
All 8 are in the final 32 and we are the only one that is still two wins away from Supers(25%).

5-6 seems a likely number to advance IMO and we are involved in the only potential all-SEC super. At this point with the bracket staggering other conferences are only guaranteed ONE spot in Omaha(CSF vs the Texas/LBSU champ). EVERY SINGLE other super regional could still potentially see an SEC team involved.

 

[patdog]

My lame, safe prediction. LSU, Ark, UF, UK, A&M advance. MSU, Aubie, & Vandy go home.

 

[Drebin]

I don't expect us to win two today vs. USM. But, the way this team has won games all year, it wouldn't be totally surprising if they did.

 

[BiscuitEater]

My lame, safe prediction. LSU, Ark, UF, UK, A&M advance. MSU, Aubie, & Vandy go home.

I think that the 'real' ACC will show up and the SEC teams will win more than they lose in those three match-ups. Thus, I see SEC teams Kentucky over NC State, Auburn over FSU and Vandy over Clemson.

See at LEAST 6 SEC teams advance. Would love for MSU/LSU matchup too.

 

[engie]

Agreed. Let's just get the first one from billingsley.

The whole air around that stadium will change when presumably Luis Mangum takes the hill with all the marbles on the line.

 

[engie]

I'm more worried about the "real" Auburn showing up there -- especially after the way they lost last night. I do agree that the other two "should" win their series though.
