Baton Rouge Regional Tourney Thread 5/29 - 6/1

winwave · Mon May 25, 2015 11:18 am

The Wave gets a much deserved Regional Bid as a 3 seed. Congrats Wave. We have done well in all phases at times this year w/timely hitting, good pitching and excellent defense. Now that the monkey is off their back hopefully they put it all together at the same time.

ROLL WAVE ROLL!

We owe UNC Wilmington. Was there when the lswho fans co-opted the green-wave cheer and went w/Sea-Hawks.

Mon May 25, 2015 11:27 am

About time. Now I hope we play respectable and competitive.

Pepper · Mon May 25, 2015 11:28 am

Really happy for our conference getting 4 teams.

Pepper · Mon May 25, 2015 11:29 am

USF last 4 in and USM last 4 out.

Yes. USF was in the last 4 in.

The AAC gets 4 well deserved bids. Three teams that got in did it w/first year coaches. This conference is going to be phenomenal.

Good for Pierce and the team, Roll Wave!

P5 bias. Oregon gets in with a 64 RPI and Clemson gets in with a 58 RPI.

Tiger Rant all ready thinking LSU A&M will defeat Houston in the super regional and head to Omaha and overlooking the GreenWave in the regional.

Meh. UNC got left out with a #27 RPI.

Look at it this way: What non-P5 got screwed? USM? There was no way they could give C-USA 4 bids this year -FIU stole their bid, not Oregon.

These things aren't strictly based on RPI. That is why USF was last four in as a #23, and we were ahead of them with a #43.

Very pumped. On to getting tics. TU pitching is solid. Not expecting to get out of this regional but u never know. Rather have better pitching than hitting fwiw.

I think Rice wins that regional

Trying to find out how many tickets we'll get in our allotment.

LSU Law Greenie · Mon May 25, 2015 12:17 pm

I'm assuming Tulane will use priority points for tickets. I know I want to go so hopefully Tulane will put that info out soon.

I told you guys that you were in. Congrats. Shake 'em up.

As much as I hope we're able to pull off the upset, if I were a Tigers fan, I'd have zero fear of the Wave. The Tigers owned us in two meetings this season. In the two games they outscored us 19-7, prompting you (Jonathan) to proclaim that our team stinks.

ROLL WAVE!

Houma de Wave · Mon May 25, 2015 2:04 pm

We've taken the first big step...simply getting back into a regional...Coach Pierce and his staff are to be lauded for the job they've done. Now, just play hard and let everything "fall into place."

winwave · Mon May 25, 2015 2:05 pm

Nice coverage of the teams reaction:

Thankyou and congrats to ULL. Looked like the only way they make was to win their tourney, and they did just that. It feels good to be back in a regional. This is a huge accomplishment for Coach Pierce, being that he hasn't had a chance to bring in his own class yet. Future is looking bright for Tulane baseball.

Robert1969 · Mon May 25, 2015 2:39 pm

ShowMe must be pissed. He openly rooted against Tulane in our last two games, because he wanted to be proved right that we wouldn't get in the regionals. All that rooting against Tulane and it didn't do him a bit of good.

Not true. I'm am happy. We have Tulane in a regional with a few former coaches in as well (USF, TCU and LSU, Andy)sorry Matt Riser couldn't get in. Here's my last quote on our AAC tournament game. They finally "showed me".

As long as Memphis or UConn do not win the tourney I think we are alright. Scanning through some of the other tourneys there are a lot of teams that only won 1 game in our RPI range.
If we get in it will be at USF's expense and their higher RPI.
I agree. USF losing earlier today really hurt themself.
To be honest in or out it was a great achievement by this staff. We don't really have regional like talent. The key during the year is that we played very consistent all year long. If we get in we'll be a low 3 seed in Baton Rouge. Southeastern blew their at large bid with today's loss. So we'll take their spot if we go somewhere.

winwave · Mon May 25, 2015 3:35 pm

Except we didn't take their spot. We were in the whole time just as I said.
