RPI

15 of the 31 conferences with auto-bids have been determined. It appears that, so far, the selection of the 33 at-large bids will not be altered by tournament upsets.

Any word on a watch party for Monday?

Cramer announced on post game show there will be one at the Davison Complex and said he "thinks" it is open to the public.

Help me out here. In the big scheme of things, what is the difference in being seeded a 2 or 3 since #1 plays #4 and #2 plays #3 in the first round of each region. Are #2 seeds given precedence when it comes to the location of the region they would play in? Just curious.

2 seeds match-up with a "weaker" opponent, and 3 seeds match-up with a "stronger" opponent.

Also, 2 seeds have a better chance of hosting a Super Regional if you win your Regional, and there's an upset in the paired Regional.

This is what I'm rooting for. Hope the chips fall in our favor and Ruston is host to a super regional. One can hope.

I've spent the afternoon watching USM and Rice play for the C-USA championship. Congratulations to USM.

I've also been scoreboard watching other tournaments. Enough better RPI teams have won their tournament that I am convinced that we WILL get an at-large bid.

I did hear Saturday on the radio, either during or after the game (after I believe), the watch party was free and open to the public at the DAC !

And here it is as well!

Several of us have already told you what you heard.

They made the decision to invite the media and public around 10 last night. Check Isaballa's twitter. Why did he wait so late to announce? Logic man!

By the way, the last two posts were pulled from Warren Nolan.... Immediately before it apparently blew up due to "bandwidth being exceeded"

[DogsWin]

Final CUSA

USM 19 Should be a #2 regional seed
Rice 23 Should be a #2 regional seed
FAU 27 Should be a #2 regional seed
TECH 31 Should be a #2 regional seed
Marshall 60 No bid

That should equate to four bids for CUSA. Hopefully all four do well.

Warren Nolan back up.

This should be helpful in determining the number of at large teams.

Any projections of us sharing a regional with a conference mate?

Playing Rice again would be...

both d1 baseball and baseball America have us as #2 seeds in BR this morning, for what that is worth
