Ok, I am confused. Originally we were set to play NCSt Thursday and Duke Friday. But during the game last night they kept saying that We were playing NCSt for a spot against Wake Saturday. What's going on?

With the way the tournament is set up, we were in a do-or-die game with NCST after they beat Duke in their first game. Our game with Duke is irrelevant to the tournament outcome either way

It’s the nature of pool play.

Miami has the tiebreaker in the event of a 1-1-1 tie between all 3 teams, by virtue of being the highest seeded team in our pool.

The benefit of last night was more that we kept NCSU from having a 2-0 record, thereby winning the pool and advancing. Since they cannot go 2-0 and we win the tiebreaker even if we lose today, we advance.

by beating NCS insured that at worse all 3 teams could be 1-1. In that case top seed in each bracket wins . So beating NCS guarantees us that no matter what happens today.

You guys beat me as I knew you would. At 72 can’t respond to fast.

Indy do we throw everything at Duke today to try to get super or do hold back and try to beat Wake with our best whatsoever that might be

I miss the bracket format for the ACC tournament

I’d expect we hold back. The Wake win is more meaningful.

D1 has us as a 12 across from 5 Clemson.

ECU, TCU, Wright St in the regional.

Not a bad regional draw. ECU is solid not great. Pitching depth is the issue. Their offense is good, but numbers are a bit inflated playing at Clark Leclair. TCU is the real wildcard. That matchup will be a good one.

I miss the 6-team regionals for a spot in Omaha.

Both of those are good enough that they each have to use their ace while we sit back and let Rosario shove against Wright State. I don’t see any down side there…

Clemson beats BC 4-1. They were already locked in to play UNC tomorrow night

Exactly how I see it.

Wake adjusted their starter for tonight’s game with the fear of not finishing the weekend and needing to be 2-0 to claim the crown if the weekend is rained out.

 

[NorthernVirginiaCane]

They should play tomorrow at 9am

I miss the 6-team regionals for a spot in Omaha.

Which we did for a few more years than FSU for our 44 Yr streak.
