Went 10-3 yesterday. Arky lost their losers bracket game to BYU and Is the first team out in the Stillwater regional. I thought their pitching would give them a chance to upset Ok St, but they couldnt hit a lick so their pitching depth didn’t matter.

12 SEC teams still in it, with 10 of them in the critical winners bracket game today where a win puts you in the drivers seat to take the regional. All 6 seeded teams, plus Mizzou, Georgia, Auburn, and Miss St.

TAMU and SC are alive but are 0-1 and playing in the losers bracket game facing elimination. SC should stay alive by beating Bethune Cookman, and then get a shot to advance to Sunday where they would have to beat FSU twice to advance, which isn’t going to happen. TAMU faces Texas is a losers bracket game, would be nice to see them humiliate Texas and send them packing with an 0-2 record in their own regional. Texas was the only one of the 16 national seeds to lose yesterday.

Best games to watch today:

James Madison at Michigan
Georgia at Minnesota
ULL at Ole Miss
Texas Tech at LSU
Arizona St at Alabama

ULL barely survived SEMO yesterday 3-2, LSU barely got past Monmouth 2-0, and Georgia got a huge win over Drake and Nicole Newman to set up the clash with Minnesota today.

I like the 6 seeded SEC teams to advance to Sunday undefeated, but if any of them lose it will be either LSU or Ole Miss. LSU is in an awful hitting slump, and TT can score a ton of runs.

For the 4 unseeded SEC teams in winners bracket games today, I think Georgia has the best chance to advance against Minny, but Miss St, Missouri, and Auburn have really tough tasks, taking on the big 3 in the PAC 12, Washington, UCLA, and Arizona respectively. Taking any of those 3 games would be a huge upset, but that’s why they play the games. In a one game situation anything is possible.
