🏈 11 of 13 SEC Softball teams make it

Impressive.

Vandy doesn't have a team, Auburn/Ole Miss didn't make the cut.

 

[doemasters]

seems like they could have spread the teams out a little more in each bracket

I was thinking the same thing. If we win our tournament we would probably have to play the Hillbilly's.

At least they didn't put two SEC teams in the same regional.

Only one Super Regional is guaranteed not to have an SEC team. The chances are minute, but there still exists the chance of seven of eight teams in the WCWS come from the SEC.

 

[doemasters]

that is true, just wish they had put one more in the upper right bracket to space teams out a little more

lost to many series this year and a few games that should have not been close

Just interesting that the RPI has them higher than what they were seeded by a factor of 2.

One of the things that never dawned on me—even after reviewing the season and box scores, etc extensively—was the point of the team losing seven games out of the season's 12 losses by a single run. (I'd love to know how many runners were left on base in those games but don't have time to research it in that degree of depth.)

I bring that up to make this point. If we win our regional, which isn't an easy regional considering the other three teams have had some big wins this season, we'll end up traveling to Knoxville to face UT.

We played our series in Knoxville this season and the final scores of the three games were 4-3, 2-1, and a 7-1 game on Sunday being our only win of the series.

In the first game, the 4-3 loss, we left three runners on base when the game ended: seven for the game. In the second game, again, left seven runners on base.

We need timely hitting in a major, major way. If we can get it this go-around in Knoxville this team can still make the trip to Oklahoma. Unfortunately, in my experience, if a team can't get that "turned on" in the regular season early they don't get it turned on late in post-season play.

I'm not feeling confident about the ladies' chances this year. Just don't seem to have it. I'll still be watching, though.

. an over/under bet of 75 would be enticing...I take the over

The top 4 were seeded 1-4. #5 is seeded 10th. :icon_rolleyes: Can't wait for the football playoff committee seedings. :icon_rolleyes:

Losing 6 of the last 10 had to have a lot to do with that seeding. I realize five of those losses were to teams ranked 2nd, 6th, and 10th but still...
