I believe it’s around 80% of game 1 winners go on to win the Super.

As the 1 seed, USM has lost to the 4 seed in back-to-back years. Has that ever happened before? I can’t think of any.

Southern Miss has failed to advance in 5 of the 6 Regionals they’ve hosted in Hattiesburg (and it’s a real possibility it happens again this year). Does any school have as bad of or a worse host record than 1-5?

A couple prime time games to get things started would be awesome, but I guess that wouldn't be fair as those teams pitching staffs would get an extra day's rest.

There are several that are a short distance away from each other.

• Starkville / Tuscaloosa (less than 1.5hr drive)
• Athens / Atlanta (1.5hr drive)
• Austin / College Station (2hr drive)
• Tallahassee to Gainesville (2.5hr drive)
• Tuscaloosa / Auburn (3hr drive)

I'm curious if all the prices are standard or if they vary between the host schools?

For the Starkville Regional, all chairback reserved seats were $150 total for the weekend package ($100 for the tickets and a required $50 donation to our booster fund raising org: The Bulldog Club).

NON-reserved seating tickets (berm or SRO) are $75 per package.

Bethune-Cookman lost last night and is in the losers bracket of the SWAC tournament.

Below are the teams in each multi bid league that I believe have too big of a gap to overcome to get an at-large bid to the tournament. I based this on a combination of RPI & current record versus their remaining schedule.

Note that teams that are not listed aren't teams that I'm necessarily predicting to make the tournament, but rather those that just still have a feasible shot.

Conference	Eliminated	Close to Elimination
SEC	South Carolina, Missouri*, LSU, Vanderbilt	Kentucky**
ACC	Louisville, Stanford, Duke, Cal, Notre Dame, Clemson	Virginia Tech, Pitt***
Big 12	Texas Tech, Arizona, Houston, Utah, Kansas State	Baylor, BYU**@**
Big Ten	Ohio State, Illinois, Washington, Iowa, Rutgers, Michigan State, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State	Purdue
Sunbelt	Appy State, ULM, Marshall, ODU, Georgia State, JMU, Georgia Southern, Arkansas State	Louisiana, Troy, South Alabama
American	Wichita State, Rice, Tulane, Memphis, FAU, Charlotte, South Florida	East Carolina & UAB**@@**
C-USA	MTSU, WKU, Kennesaw State, Sam Houston, NM State, FIU, Delaware, La. Tech	Dallas Baptist**@@@**

*Not really an SEC team

**I think UK is in with 1 more league victory.

***VT should be in but 1 more conference victory would seal it. Pitt needs to win out and probably get at least 1 win in the ACC tournament.

@ Both these Big12 clubs need big RPI jumps before the selection committee meets.

@@ These 2 teams are collapsing. As of today, neither would get an at-large bid.

@@@ DBU needs RPI help. They will have to sweep JSU this weekend to have a remote shot.

These teams are all borderline at-large selections that lost yesterday.

UAB

East Carolina

Clemson

Kentucky

Kansas State

*Not really an SEC team

**Both Tennessee & UK are in as of today (34 & 35 RPI respectively) but at 11-13 in the league, each had better find a way to 14 SEC victories (including games in Hoover).

***The Sunbelt is in serious jeopardy of being just a 2 bid league for the 2nd consecutive year.

****It was a bad weekend for the American as BOTH these teams crapped the bed. UAB got swept by Rice & ECU lost 2 out of 3 to Memphis. FREAKIN MEMPHIS!
