They basically did that. So neither Virginia nor DBU were in the 20. That being the case, the NCAA had to pick a place in the 20, a neutral site. They chose USC.

Great game last night by the UVA pitcher. No hitter into the 8th yet they lose to MSU.
Tough loss.
Speaking of seeds, why was UVA the home team when MSU was the higher seeded team and it was a winner’s bracket game? Why have seeds if ya can’t be the home team? 🤷♂️
I don’t care what you think of Covid, but I feel horrible for N.C State.
Seems to me this is on NC St for not properly protecting their team.
I feel bad for NC State. I also don't think we need to be testing any asymptomatic individuals.
HOWEVER, everyone knew the protocols going into the event. That is a risk they took. When the baseball season started in February, they were going through even more strict protocols on a weekly basis. This was not a surprise to anybody involved. Just get the vaccine and you don't have to be tested.

Hate it for them too but hate it even more that they have a doofus making dumb choices. This should be a warning to college football/basketball teams BTW.
I'd say you're right. FCS played football games this Spring but each week 12-15 games were cancelled/rescheduled due to Covid. Things have changed for the better but the threat remains...should be OK if the established protocols are followed.
Still think NC St was slip-shod in their enforcement of existing protocols bringing this on themselves. Of all the teams in a Regional/Super Regional/CWS....NC St was the only one to run into this problem. Unfortunate for players but they need to look at their "leaders."
Protacal was if you were not vaccinated you had to be tested. If you were vaccinated you just had to go through the self check symptoms reporting procedure. Two kids not vaccinated had their tests come back positive, this was part of the mess that had them playing with 13 players on Friday. So when the two kids tested positive it triggered the next level protocols for testing the whole team regardless if you were vaccinated or not. It’s when these test came back it revealed that 4 additional players who were vaccinated tested positive. What I have not seem reported was how many additional players tested positive beyond these 4 who were vaccinated.
Unvaccinated people tested positive first, which led to the whole team getting tested.
If they all had the vaccine, there would have been NO tests at all.
Let’s not pretend that there are no possible risks from taking the vaccine. If I was young I surely wouldn’t have taken it, sports be damned.
Well then you might have cost your team the CWS. It is your right and your body, but other people have rights too and I am sure NC State wishes everyone on the team had gotten vaccinated. No other team in a 64 team field had this problem so it is not an impossible standard to meet.
I don't like it. I enjoyed them having no titles. Lol
Proves once again the old baseball adage that you have to throw strikes and make routine plays to win. Vandy did neither the last 2 games. Oh, and of course hit the ball. Noticed that Miss St's first 5 hitters were in double figures with HRs.
Seems like I read or saw where Miss State has several JUCO guys that are some of their biggest contributors.
