What bubble teams do we need to be concerned about?

For some reason I see OSU at Oregon, Oregon state, or UCLA

I think you are right. As a #3 seed, they will ship us out to wherever to fill out the bracket. But this is the NCAA we are talking about so we may be kept out of the tourney altogether.

We just lack the relief pitching….using starters for relief pitchers when guys like Phillips, Bade, Blake, the freshman class can’t throw strikes.!! If our starters can’t go 7+ innings, we’re screwed

Classic Walton staff. And most years it’s been only one consistent starter. So glad he is finally retiring.

I think they are in but in all honesty would it be the worst thing if they weren’t?

Everything in my bones says we should delete this……

We should have…..

 

[Chairman of the Board]

We should have…..

Eh, if it was a rare thing I'd claim responsibility, but since it's the norm I'd just say it's inevitable.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but bringing in Watkins might’ve not been the best move. Don’t get me wrong( he’s been solid as a starter, however he gives up the long ball too much. He wasn’t the best matchup against ballinger, who had 15 HRs before that AB.

 

[ostate77]

Agreed and staff management is just another reason I’m happy to see him gone after this season.

Walton pushed all the right buttons yesterday against Baylor and all the wrong ones today. Watkins has been HR prone and although Davis has had a few good outings lately he's not been consistently good in late inning situations throughout his career. The moment at times gets too big for him. In fairness to Gabe, defense let him down some in the 9th also. As many have said, today's game was pretty much a 9 inning glimpse at why the team is 28-23.....

As of the most recent projections, OSU is above the last four out, so it would take a lot of upsets to bump them out.

UTSA is a lock for a bid but they've fallen to the loser's bracket of the American. If they don't come back to win, there's a bubble team knocked out.

Here's a projection for the most fun regional I could possibly imagine:

Dallas Regional

1. Dallas Baptist* (16)
2. Oklahoma
3. Oklahoma State
4. Oral Roberts*

Kansas greatest year ever about to be run ruled in the semifinals of big 12 tournament. For comparison, defunct Iowa state has more cws appearances than ku. Hope they enjoyed their World Series type celebration last night.
