Couldn't possibly have anything to do with our conference affiliation right?

Friday 5pm vs Oregon State. ESPN-3.

Looking forward to it.

We hosted the previous 2 years, including last year being a top 8 national seed.

Unless we are moving to SEC or big 12 it doesn't matter dude.

Doubt it. JMU didn't have the kind of OOC wins they had the last couple of seasons when they hosted. It sucks, but JMU plays well on the road.

The losses to uva and Mercer are what cost us I believe.

Minnesota went 54-3 and plays for the Big 10 - and they're going on the road as well, so this is not a conference thing...

Dukes tend to do well in the State of Texas!!!!

Yes. The loss to Hofstra less so.

For the sake of talking should the Cocks take down Arizona and of course we'll move on, who would host the Super?

Also once you saw longwood going somewhere we were doomed.

I also don't care how good a league is every team does not deserve to be in tourney.

I think most are 2 seed and above as well.

Honestly not even sure. 52-4 with no improvement in top tier wins wouldn't really make us more appealing than 54-3 Minnesota. It is what it is now; I'm excited to see what the Dukes can do on Friday.

What a ******* joke. Go kick some ass regardless lady dukes!

I knew it wasn't a good sign when a three loss Minnesota team was also hosed and didn't even get a seed. The gophers were one rank ahead of us with the 12th rank rpi to our 13th rank.
It also didn't help with our bad losses being REALLY bad from an rpi standpoint and we only have one win over a currently ranked team (auburn). The wheels fell off of Mizzou's bus, much to our detriment.

It is a joke that the SEC has all 13 teams in the field. Bias as clear as day.

We can play with a chip on our shoulder and Baylor should be beatable. Kent State and Oregon State are also beatable for us.

Arizona in the super regionals is certainly tough but one round at a time.

Believe since we are both 2 seeds in our region it would be by bid. That is how it works in baseball.

Utah; avg record; lost 5 of their last six, some not even close. 11 seed.

I think bigger was only one Top 25 win.

Thanks! We've been pretty good at bidding since our blunder in football and had to travel to EKU.

That argument t is a red herring.

If we played in the SEC we would certainly have plenty and would be a seed.
