    Post-season chances?

    If we sweep Old Dominion and win 2 games in conference tournament, that would put us at 40 wins... is that enough to get at large bid? This was a huge series for us to win and Old Dominion is a MUST sweep series if we have any chance of at large bid.

    Too many bad losses and only few quality wins IMO. However, this season could turn out to be very similar to 2016 going into selection day so I suppose it could happen.

    I was thinking the same thing, we had more quality wins in 2016. We didn't seem to play as many quality opponents this year...

    Thanks to our AD. He got us the Frisco deal and he figured that and the trip to Cali had exceeded our budget and put us way ahead of Softball. Can't have that at EllAyeTech.

    Losing NSU, Little Rock (x2), lsu, and lafayette will haunt us. We only won 4 games we were not expected to win.

    With some luck, 6 of the 8 teams in the tourney should have sub 100 rpis...

    Getting swept by UALR, losing to the Demons and not winning the series against MT and UNCC are the boogers right now

    That said if someone would of offered me at the start of the year 35 wins and 2nd in the conference headed into the final series I would of gladly paid $100

    I agree, but we saw after the trip to California and Frisco that we had a better team than many of us hoped for. Mistakes cost us many of the games we lost...beating ourselves.

    IMO, the things that made the difference at USM were getting the starter out on Friday along with a change in the batting order. The big thing today was the change in the batting order. Notice he went back to the normal order yesterday. SMH because our coach has refused to make changes all year.

    Friday nights have killed us for the past 8 weeks.

    On one of the TV games today the announcers were saying that last year UConn's RPI was in the 30s and they stayed home.

    Yankee East Coast baseball is usually bad...

    But everyone admitted the mistake they made leaving them out last year

    Just take care of business Thursday Friday and Saturday

    Good job Dawgs! Winning the series in H'burg (vs. 9th ranked team) is a nice accomplishment.

    Maybe we'll have some "nice accomplishments" next time we play in Mississippi.

    If we don’t win the tournament, we stay home this year.

    Agreed.

    So! The Dawgs just need to bring their A+ game, for every game, and win it all in Biloxi.

    If we sweep Old Dominion, and lose in the championship game to USM or FAU, we could get an invite. Win the tournament and nothing else matters. Our pitching depth or lack thereof will hurt us

    Losing a home series to MTSU is going to keep us out. You can’t lose a series at home to cellar dwellers and get in the tournament as an at large IMO. I guess there’s hope if we lose in the championship game, but I wouldn’t have much confidence in that happening.
