Re: NCAA Tournament

Cal State Fullerton and Pepperdine are 2 schools that have won College World Series that do not have football teams. The vast majority of good baseball programs also play football. Wofford, which is making its 2nd appearance in the playoffs, plays scholarship football with a smaller enrollment and e...

Re: NCAA Tournament

Evansville is pounding VCU.

Evansville’s RPI is 67. They are a private school with 2,200ish undergrads and an endowment of $93,000,000.

We need to send someone to figure out how they have such a good team.

Re: JMU player

JMU played well, but came up a little short today in the NCAA Tournament.

They can turn it around tomorrow.

JMU is a good school in a scenic and historic part of the country. A great place for grandparents to visit.

NCAA Tournament

Wofford led LSU most of the game, but lost 4-3 after a walk off home run in the 9th. Wofford played 7 games in 5 days to win the SoCon Tournament, so their best 2 pitchers could not start. Their starter went 5 innings and left with a 2-0 lead. Wofford will play either Long Island U or UNC-Chapel Hil...

Re: Good Day For a Wildcat

Making All Rookie Team while playing for the 9th place team in the 15th ranked conference is not going to cause suitors to send you offers.

We were bad this year. We should be better next year, because we should be in the top 4 of the A10 most years.

Re: Good Day For a Wildcat

Brett Boretti’s Columbia Lions won the Ivy League’s regular season. They did not win the conference tournament and will not make the NCAA tourney. One has to wonder if all of that crap going on at Columbia distracted his team. When the campus was locked down for a few days I wonder if they were eve...

Re: Good Day For a Wildcat

There's an article on ESPN that says 5 ACC teams, but not Duke, will host NCAA Regionals. 5 SEC schools will host Regionals, too.

ECU is hosting a Regional, so Cobb's prediction was correct.

No word where Kansas State is being sent. They should be a 3 seed.

Good Day For a Wildcat

Chris Pollard's (DU '96) Duke Blue Devils defeated FSU 16-4 in the ACC Championship this afternoon in Charlotte. Duke was ranked 17th in Warren Nolan's RPI. Winning the ACC title over the 8th ranked Seminoles should boost Duke into the top 16 and allow them to host a Regional. UNC and Wake should ho...

Re: Hoyt Wilhelm

His SABR biography says he chose between turning pro and going to Davidson University, but he didn't pitch in organized baseball until 1942 with the Mooresville Moors. Maybe he pitched in semi-pro baseball from '39-'41. The Moors played in the ballpark in south Mooresville where the collegiate summe...
