This is a prime example of why I don’t like tournaments being the automatic bid into the NCAA. I think the regular season champion should be automatically in. That’s clearly the longer earned accomplishment. For one thing look at Tech in the tournament in them not having the catcher who played all year and a pitcher who didn’t do his class work. Granted Tech wasn’t even in the running but if they’d had a good year and won the regular season they would’ve lost the tournament and missed out on everything because of losing some players. That would be a shitty sandwich to swallow.
Underdogs with medium pitching can win tournaments.
