The obvious thing is that Tech absolutely has to turn this trend around of Charlotte dominating us in head to head play. As tough as it’s going to be to win this series or even greater to sweep it, we need to. We need all the momentum we can get going into the conference tournament. I think we all know that the only way we make the NCAAs is to pretty much win out, take the championship or finish 2nd.

what is this "championship" you talk of?

That tournament played in Hattiesburg.

I guess you didn't understand my snide remark. The word "championship" doesn't seem to be in Tech athletics vocabulary. Only the Tech women seem to understand the meaning of the word.

Tech athletics substitutes the word "compete" for "championship".

And even the Tech women prefer to be bridemaids rather than the bride when it comes to reaching the NCAAs.

Sad but true, although they showed out in bowling.....a minor sport, but nevertheless.

And our softball program has been to 2 of the past 4 NCAA tournaments.

Tech probably needs 2 of 3 against Charlotte and a win in Hattiesburg to be a lock for the tourney. That’s a big need though, don’t think our pitching is good enough to contain the Charlotte bats.

[dawg80]

On paper it looks like we should take 2 of 3, but....well, y'all know.

[faninmonroe]

I can’t believe how bad Rice and Tulane are at baseball now.

We need at least 2 out of 3 and 2 wins in Hattiesburg for a shot at getting into a regional.

We will probably Tech it up and sweep this weekend, win the tournament then not win a game in regionals.
