NCAA baseball tournament

[Joe Hoya]

Starts this weekend. Double elimination each round. First round is 16 regionals of 4 teams each.



Long Beach is a regional host, and 2-seed UCLA and 3-seed Pepperdine are in that bracket. UCLA-Pepperdine is at 3pm on Friday. (Pepperdine knocked UCLA out of the NCAAs last year in Malibu.)

San Diego is a regional host (though the games will be played at SDSU), and 2-seed CS Fullerton and 4-seed Fresno State are in their bracket.

Pac-10 champ ASU hosts as well, with Big West champ UC Riverside as the 2-seed.

Other notables:
Arizona is the 2-seed in Wichita State's regional.
UC Irvine is the 2-seed in Texas's regional

Im guessing there wont be much, if any, television coverage of the tournament again this year. Until the CWS that is. Cant find any college baseball on ESPN, but I bet I can find re-run after re-run of the 2005 World Series of Poker.

Bear Down Arizona!!

I'm sure ESPNU and CSTV will cover a lot of games this weekend. ESPN (or ESPN2 at least) usually shows some of the super regionals--I vaguely remember seeing CSUF games the last few years. The CSUF and USD first round games on Friday are scheduled for ESPNU according to ESPN.com.

I'll probably head over to Long Beach on Saturday... and Sunday, if UCLA is still alive. Last time I was at Blair Field, I saw your boys beat Long Beach State in the Supers even with Jered Weaver starting.

[GALLY]

Here are my picks for each bracket:

Vandy
Rutgers
Long Beach St
Cal St Fullerton
Arizona St
So Miss
Oral Roberts
Texas
Rice
Lousiana Lafayette
Miami
Creighton
Florida St
Clemson
South Carolina
North Carolina

I am hoping that Nebraska gets eliminated because I will be in Omaha this year and I still need a few tickets....

I know Rutgers made it, that's about all I know.

They are in the Virginia regional as the #2 seed with a record of 41-19. The others in that regional are:

#1 Virginia (43-14)
#3 Oregon St (38-17)
#4 Lafayette (33-18)

I am picking Rutgers to come out of that regional....

Thanks. I saw you picked them, I don't think I've ever watched a college baseball game. If they're a #2 I guess they have a shot.

My crappy cable only gets ESPN, ESPN2 and Classic... so I guess thats why I never get any college baseball coverage out here.

Long Beach regional tomorrow
LB State vs. Pepperdine, 3pm (elimination game)
UCLA vs. UIC, 7pm

[GALLY]

San Diego is done. I guess their #8 overall seed wasn't accurate.......

[lahockeyrocks24]

Go Sun Devils!!!

[Joe Hoya]

UCLA, UC Irvine, CS Fullerton, Arizona, and ASU are all one win away from the Super Regionals after going 2-0 so far.

Going down to Long Beach tonight for the 6pm UCLA game vs. the LBSU-UIC winner.

[GALLY]

Well, I went 6-10 in my regional predictions. Not very good but at least Nebraska and Creighton were eliminated making it better to get the tickets to Session #2 & #4 that I need next week in Omaha.

Here are my predictions for the Super Regionals (hopefully I can do better this time):

Oregon St over Michigan
Fullerton over UCLA (sorry jbruin)
ASU over Ole Miss
UC-Irvine over Wichita St.
Rice over Texas A&M
Okla St over Louisville
Clemson over Miss St
South Carolina over UNC

Anybody else gonna take a crack at it?

[GALLY]

I am guessing Tampa is pretty happy that Vandy got beat. A little less wear and tear on Price.........

[GALLY]

Nobody else willing to go out on a limb with some predictions?

I agree with all of the picks except Clemson over Miss St. I think Miss State will pull it out.

[ASUcruz]

Anybody know how good Ole Miss is? This is probably the best team ASU has had in recent years which is saying something because the Buck, Larish, Curtis, team was really solid.

I'm expecting us to win the series, just wondering how difficult it will be.
