WKU needs win or UTSA loss
Tech needs combo 3 wins or UTSA losses
It’s looking more and more like Tech is going to limp into the tournament at either number 7 or 8 being that Old Dominion and Rice own the tiebreaker against Tech. It doesn’t really matter where the Dawgs go in because they have to win it all anyway. There will not be an at large invitation nor should there be. In all honesty it hasn’t been earned.
Same boat we’ve been in. Win the tournament or go to the house.
What a dichotomy of seasons this is turning in to! The women win the CUSA after their ballpark is blown apart. On the other hand, the men are struggling to just get to the tournament after getting ranked, then their ballpark gets blown apart. It seems the women have used their misfortune as a rallying point, while the men have decided to play the victim and "woe is me". They better take care care of business the last two games with WKU, or they will have a quick exit to their tournament.
Go figure.
We might could win the first game with Leal pitching if he gets run support from the team but that’s a big ’IF’. Based on our runs allowed per game of almost 5, we’d need to score a minimum of 6 and cross our fingers.
