Should be a pretty interesting weekend in C-USA baseball:

All rankings are from Warren Nolan...

FIU @ Ole Miss
FAU @ Mississippi State Tournament (2x vs. #11 MSU, 2x vs. South Dakota St.)
Western Kentucky vs. Youngstown St.
Southern Miss vs. Eastern Illinois
Charlotte vs. William & Mary
UTSA vs. UConn
ODU @ Caravelle Resort Tourney (NC St, Kent St., App. State)
UAB vs. Arkansas St
Marshall @ Florida A&M
#20 Rice vs. Arizona
Louisiana Tech @ MLB Urban Youth Invitational (Prairie View A&M, Southern, New Orleans)
Middle Tennessee vs. Indiana

Couple thoughts:

-Can't have any losses to HBCU's... Those are RPI KILLERS... With that said, Alabama State has had some decent teams recently. I think UAB plays them later in the season.
-FAU should aim to take both vs. SDSU, and one of two vs. MSU. MSU wasn't particularly good last year, so I think they might be getting a bit of an "SEC bounce" in the polls.
-UTSA and Rice need to take 2/3 at a minimum... UConn should be pretty good this year, and although Arizona isn't supposed to be great this year, home losses to them would be squandering some great RPI wins.

I believe one of those Tech games is on the MLB Network on Saturday

I bought my UTSA baseball season tickets yesterday. I'll spend the weekend in San Antonio for the opening series

FAU has a lot of question marks this year.
We have a lot of new arms, our starting catching got cancer in the offseason and is recovering, and Coach Mac is dealing with health issues and wont be making this trip.
With that said FAU always finds a way to reload and we might have the most talented middle infield in college baseball.

Our 3 game series with Arky St is at Regions Field we're our minor league team plays. Great place to watch a game.

Love college baseball. Hope cusa has a good opening weekend, setting the stage for a great year. Would love to see 3-5 teams make a regional, but more likely 2, maybe a 3 bid league.

Here's my preview of the Rice - Arizona season-opening series, which includes a bit more info on Rice for those interested....

I get to cross another minor league field off my baseball list! Always a good thing.

Looks like you're right. Tech baseball on MLB Network at 2pm. Tech Basketball on CBSSN at 5pm. should be a good day.

Do you guys ever play at Rickwood? Man, that place is incredible for any baseball fan.

It's where we started but haven't played there in years.

Good start to the season as Old Dominion just shut out #10 NC State 5-0. Congrats!
