2025 NCAA Selection noon ESPN2

Second to last team in for D1. Fitt was definitely playing the role of UF and FSU AD on the committee, although I agree with him about us vs UConn.

Well I just made a quick bracket taking account for 29 autobids and the remaining hosts, In my opinion Miami is in. Started to have discussions of Miami being better than certain teams around close to the 60th team which would get us in even with Virginia, UCONN, etc getting in

Feel pretty good about my bracket I made earlier, especially with the main outlets kind of agreeing with me now.

What scares me is Kentucky and UCONN

For UCONN, they simply beat us and have a similar rpi

For Kentucky, they are basically the SEC version of Miami: 2 big series wins, similar quad 1 and rpi, but we all know “it just means more”
 
The moral of this season, like 2017, is don’t lose a bunch of midweek games if you want to save yourself some anguish. If we’d won a couple more midweek games, we wouldn’t be near the bubble.

Both teams would walk over us in a 3 game series.
Bottom line is we went 1-6 in our last seven games against not exactly stellar competition.
Why put the fans through another embarrassing weekend. Everyone has a breaking point...

Agreed.

I’m just not having the UF/FSU AD and blame the SEC Miami victim mentality….

Miami baseball sucks because of Miami. Blame the administration, not the selection committee.

Pray for Oxford. Nashville, Knoxville, or Baton Rouge is a death sentence. Texas hasn’t been playing well, but they’ll have a tough 2 seed in either UTSA or DBU. Don’t want that either.

Tennessee is garbage once you get past their top 2 arms. Someone will upset them in their regional unless they can just out mash them.

They’ll be out-pitched beyond game 2 by nearly anyone, including Miami.

Those first 2 games, want nothing to do with them.

Agreed, and add on west virginia as the two seed that becomes one of the few regionals I can see a path in.

But it’s going to be really close in 2 hours, either last team in or first out

I'd say out. canes have great (meaning strength of opponent) first half conf. losses and ok back half conf series wins combine that with midweek? canes are out.

That was a great weekend in Oxford.
I've never been hotter in my life than that weekend experiencing Mississippi HEAT.

That performance in a hostile environment seems like a lifetime ago at this point for Canes baseball. It was fun to watch though ... and dream.

Well Miami would be playing them in game 2, after they threw their 3/bullpen game. They aren’t wasting 1 or 2 on a #4 seed. So yes beating them is gonna be nearly impossible when you can’t out-pitch or out-hit them. Not to mention WVU is no slouch.
