LSU continues to burn up the tournament. So is Ole Miss. Both are fighting for one of those national seeds. Pretty fun stuff.
In the Big 10 Indiana continues to get by, which is bad for UK. If they win it and get in then that could be one less spot for us. Michigan also beat Minnesota, so that might put Sota out.
Texas Tech plays an elimination game today after getting beaten by WVU. They are a tournament team, so if someone else, other than TTU or TCU, wins the Big 12 tournament then we're once again in hotter water.
The Big West is interesting. Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State both have RPIs in the mid 40s while UC Santa Barbara has an RPI in the 20s. They don't have a tournament, but Cal State Fullerton is playing LBSU this weekend (CSF won). LBSU has to win thee next two in order to tie CSF for the conference title. However, you have to wonder how many of these Big West teams get into the the tournament.
In the American Athletic Conf. ECU (RPI 36) was eliminated yesterday. Tulane is the top team in the conference and is in the top 15 in rankings. They lost yesterday to Houston and are on the brink of being eliminated. At least Tulane is going to make the NCAA regardless of their results, but will someone else win the tournament and bump out a spot for UK? Will ECU make the tournament with their RPI?
The Mid-American is another interesting case. Kent State has a poor RPI (61), but has 42 wins on the year. That is hard to turn away. They are still in the conference tournament and in the winner's bracket, but will the committee let them in if they don't win it?
Anyway, some interesting stuff going on in the baseball world. Fun times.
