Comments:

Arkansas goes 0-2. They didn’t make the SEC post-season tourney and yet they were selected for the NCAA tourney. Clearly they did not belong. I hate it that the SEC just automatically gets a gob of teams in the tourney because they’re the SEC.

Which is why I weep no tears for Florida. At least they were in the SEC tourney, but, quick, look at that list of schools that are gone and name another conference besides the SEC.

Dallas Baptist going this early may be a bit of a shock to those that follow the game, but I don’t think so. Maybe the loss to UIC is a little shocking but anyone can lose one game in baseball and that’s the dangerous part of the tourney. Lose a game and you’re exposed.

Who’s missing on that list of losers? The Big 12, although that may change quite a bit today.

I think it’s safe to say that the Aggies are out of their slump. 37 runs in two games? Uh, like, wow, dude? They’re the only ‘safe’ team in the Big 12.

Fresno State’s two wins.… coming against Long Beach State and San Diego - these aren’t exactly weenie boy teams. I know nothing about Fresno State, but this kind of stuff makes me wonder what’s going on out there in Callyfornia.

Amen to that. When you have time, check out the story I published at Rock Chalk Talk yesterday on the exact same topic.
