WAC Baseball Standings

[GatorDawg]

SO more than likely, we will be the #2 seed playing the #5 seed which is Hawaii. I promise you, they will be out for blood against us being that we swept them a few weeks ago and now we are back on their turf. We better bring A game big time

Aren't Hawaii and Fresno now tied? Who wins the tie breaker out of them?

To win the regular season title and get the #1 seed (assuming no games are cancelled)
San Jose State--win 1 of the remaining 3 games vs Nevada
Louisiana Tech--win Saturday's game at home vs New Mexico State if Nevada wins the remaining 3 games at San Jose State
Nevada--win the remaining 3 games at San Jose State if Louisiana Tech does not win Saturday vs New Mexico State

To qualify for the WAC Tournament (assuming no games are cancelled)
Fresno State--win one of the two remaining games at Sacramento State
Sacramento State--must win both of the two remaining games vs Fresno State

Tech can clinch at least the #2 seed in the WAC Tournament by beating New Mexico State on Saturday. The only combination that would push Tech down to the #3 seed would be a Tech loss Saturday and Nevada winning all 3 remaining games at San Jose State.

Fresno swept Sac State
SJSU leads Nevada in the series 3-0. Looks like they may be switching places.

Unless I am missing a game we should play either Hawaii or Nevada.

Nevada went 2-1 vs Hawaii this season with one cancellation, so I think the Wolfpack hold the tiebreaker. If this is the case then a Nevada win over San Jose St tomorrow would match SJSU up vs Hawaii and us vs Nevada in the tourney; and if SJSU wins tomorrow then we get Hawaii and SJSU vs Nevada resumes in the tourney.

Who do we want to win? We swept Hawaii this year in Hawaii but can we win a 5th game? Nevada looked as unimpressive as we did when they were here to start the WAC season and they are the fastest falling team in the WAC.

Honestly I wish we had another shot at NMSU in Hawaii for the 1st round. That was a better matchup.

My rule of thumb is- you never want to face the host team in the tournament, especially on their own island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Go Wolfpack!

That is a very good rule but I am not sure how often it applies.

if there is a team for us to beat in the WAC for any sport, it should be Nevada. The early we play them, the earlier we can send those wolfpacks home.
