It's been hard to watch/accept.

NCAA Tourneys
Rice: 23
Southern Miss: 14
Middle Tenn: 14 (and will now reach 10 years since the last one).

The longest such streak going back to 1980 was previously five years. Make that very hard to watch.

Southern Miss hasn't walked that many this entire month.

Literally have one of the worst pitching staffs in the country.

19 walks in a game is brutal. IMO, some of the USM fans' frustration comes from we were 20-4 at home before May. Since May 1 we have gone 1-4 at home....1/2 of our home losses came in our last 5 home games.

That's just baseball though.

The key for you guys is you will be able to set up the rotation to win both the regional and a super regional. The way the NCAA tourney is set up it benefits the teams that can pitch/have deep pitching - especially if you end up the losers bracket of the regional and then two out of three you can simply sit the weaker arms and let your horses go to work.

When I was at Tennessee we would have absolutely no qualms about throwing RA Dickey nine innings Friday (120+ pitches) and bring him back Sunday to shut the door during the postseason. If you have three or four plus arms you can make it to Omaha. And I think you guys have that.

For us I think Mags is done. He is a great coach but could never get the pitching staff in order after Skylar Meade left for Michigan St.

I expect us to go after the guy at Tennessee Tech but considering what he's done with that club he is going to draw some P5 interests too.

USM up 7-2 headed to bottom 3 at Marshall.

And to no surprise to USM fans the 2 Marshall runs were scored on 4 straight singles AFTER THERE WERE 2 OUTS and by the 6,7,8 and 9 hitters.

How's the weather in Miami today/tonight? Has it rained much today? How well/fast does the FIU field drain?

(Weather.com's "future" simulation show storms in the area until about 7:30 p.m. Eastern.)

Do locals expect today's first game in the Rice @FIU series to be played today? Or postponed?

Rice vs FIU now scheduled for a DH tomorrow but the weather outlook isn’t promising tomorrow either.

Rice likely makes it even if we don’t play this weekend so I’m indifferent.

USM has chosen the 4:00 pm game Wednesday at the CUSA-T so therefore the 4/5 seeds will play at 7:30 pm.

Thru 6, 0-0. Good pitching has continued since both starters went 4 innings. I've seen a lot of 1-2-3s.
