Excellent time slot for the dogs
Re: 2021 Conference USA Baseball Tournament
Here is my ideal scenario for Tech championship & RPI. The ODU/CLT winner doesn’t make much difference as long as advancer comes from the loser’s bracket (no day off)

I don't know - they split the season series. As I stated, it really doesn't matter who comes out of the top half. I just hope they come out of the loser's bracket so they don't have a day off.
If we sweep ODU this weekend, I hope we play CLT if we make it.

Our ODU 2 game is a Thursday-Friday series I believe.
Re: 2021 Conference USA Baseball Tournament
I could take the time to figure out their OOC schedule, but it isn't really worth it to me. I do wonder how ODU has the highest rpi in the conference and is a 3 seed, though. This week's games with them could boost our rpi, if we could sweep them. At least we are not playing a low rpi team for our final games.
The conference tourament at our place is a whole different season - I do know that. I know that any of these teams can beat another conference team (example Marshall against us earlier in the year or UTSA in that Friday night game). Just hoping we are fired up and ready to run this table and get a good spot for the regionals!

ODU's overall SOS is now better than Tech's (46 to 61). Tech's OOC SOS is now also slightly worse than ODU's.
ODU 's conference schedule is much better. Both teams played Marshall, FIU, Rice, and UTSA. ODU playing 8 against Charlotte and Tech playing 8 against Southern Miss is basically a wash. The difference is that ODU had 4 games each against FAU (65 RPI) and WKU (144 RPI), while Tech played 4 each against Middle Tennessee (231 RPI) and UAB (248 RPI).

Forecast looks good for the tourney (not so much for Thursday’s game vs ODU)
No. 18 LA Tech Opens 2021 Air Force Reserve C-USA Baseball Championship on Wednesday
A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
https://latechsports.com/common/cont..._Jennings.jpeg
RUSTON, La. – No. 18 Louisiana Tech will get its first taste of postseason baseball in its new home stadium when it takes on No. 7 seed UTSA in the opening round of the 2021 Air Force Reserve C-USA Baseball Championship on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch for Wednesday's game is set to begin at 4 p.m.
More...
Discuss it here.
Re: No. 18 LA Tech Opens 2021 Air Force Reserve C-USA Baseball Championship on Wednes
First game time pushed back to 11:00 AM CT due to the heavy rain around Ruston earlier and with another band of steady rain moving in. Rain is significantly lighter about 15 miles north and northwest of Ruston, and that should get to Ruston by around 10:00.
Going to be a late night for USM and WKU unless there are a couple of run-rule games in the mix today.
