2023 NCAA Post Season (HOSTING) Discussion Thread - Merged

Coastal Carolina has a nice ballpark.

They'll play where the Myrtle Beach minor league team plays. At least they did some back when I lived there back in 2009-2011

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Went there a few times in the ‘90s to golf.

And other things dumbass males in their 20s do.

I lived in Myrtle, went to Golf Academy of America there and loved the courses

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but Coastal’s stadium has had recent improvements. From my visit I thought it was very nice: Spring Brooks Stadium - Vrooman Field

Ahhh gotcha. My bad. Obviously my reading comprehension skills are on par with your math skills.

It's a gift that apparently is gonna keep on giving. At this pace, I might set an unbreakable record for futility in the pick 'em arena.

Does Coastal's stadium hold enough to allow them to host? I do not think the berms should be allowed to be considered seating. It seats less than 2,500 but they say they can seat 3,000 on berms. Tried to look it up. How many do you have to be able to seat to host regional?

The NCAA bends over for teams now.
Maryland hosted last year and they play in a glorified public park
As a recent national champion, Coastal gets the benefit of a doubt.
Whether they play in Conway or MB, the atmosphere would be hostile.

If ECU could get back into hosting, that place would be crazy for visiting fans as it normally is.

 

[preacherman20]

I’ve been to coastal several times. Crazy place if school is in. Not so much when school is out. I think if we go on road in southeast there will be a lot of orange. Maybe more than host team

It's BRUTAL to get regional and super regional tickets on the road if you're playing the home team

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Like I said, if we can't host please give us Myrtle Beach... I'll see you all there

I live in Murrells Inlet and am VERY involved with the CCU athletic program through my job. Seeing my Vols playing local would be a dream come true for me!

I used to live at River Oaks off 501. I miss it bad. I would absolutely love to come back for that regional if it happened.

This is true of most.

Can someone explain to me Kentucky's RPI and NC strength of schedule? Because of Indiana State, Elon, Wright State, and Morehead State? Seriously?

They have series losses to Tennessee, Vandy, A&M, LSU and Georgia. That's half of the their conference weekend series.

How the hell are they projected to be a national seed?

(see how I put my foot in my mouth and set up an epic fail for Florida's last weekend series).

I don’t math on Saturday.

kaysucky has the 2 spot in RPI?

kaysucky has the 2 spot in RPI?

Look at the records of the opposition they’ve had in mid week games. Then our non conference SOS, last I checked it was 190.

 

[fryeguy93]

Kentucky down to 2
Vols up to 17

I’m not seeing anything from Kentucky that suggests they are a good matchup for Gators.

I agree. UK manufactures runs stealing, I don’t see it either.

Florida State not eligible for ACC tourney
Their season will end without postseason play since I was like 10

That's where I found their RPI.

I've looked and I don't get it. Yes, they swept Indiana State. That's nice and all, but if that's what you are hanging your hat on....I still don't get it.

They swept South Carolina and that's a really big deal.

But, overall, I don't see the #2 RPI.

I just don't

For the most part they’ve taken care of things at home, the sweep by VU on the road…mostly, age old adage…don’t lose the series at home and don’t get swept on the road. On my end, what if we win one game versus Missouri? We didn’t and they have turned out to be who we thought they were. All I got. Sometimes, it just goes the way it goes, it’s an algorithm after all.

You good?

How is NC State 31-18, Clemson and Miami 33-17, Coastal Carolina 32-17, Indiana State 34-14 a national seed hosting and we are 35-16 and we are not? To me this Is ridiculous.
