20-3 against tournament teams is otherworldly.

 

[fryeguy93]

Alabama and Kentucky - due to their last few weeks; almost became Q1 losses
Tennessee Tech was a Q2 loss when it first occurred but they fell off until a strong showing in OVC tourney. They beat SEMO once but lost a second game. Tech had some rea ugly Q4 losses (8 actually)

It may be obvious and I don't see it but is that 20-3 against teams going to the tourney this year? or 20-3 against teams from last year's tourney? Either way, heck of a stat!

Edit: NM...I understand now. Red teams are tourney this year. Right?

Tournament teams this season. All the tournament teams are in red.

I edited before I saw your response. Made sense when I started looking closer at the numbers. Thanks for the clarification.

According to the rankings chart, we flatlined… at the number one ranking

Or did we make the chart flatline??? We are The Soul Eaters after all.

The thing about this squad is they don’t drop back to back games. They may lose one but I’d put good money on them NOT losing 2 in a row. Sets up good for tourney play!
GBO!!

Couldn’t agree more! They take it personal whenever they lose.

Remember Lexington!

Remember Lexington!

This is going to sound extremely arrogant but...
That series was more about Tennessee than it was kentucky, imo.
GBO!!

Seems more to me like beisbol…

Two games that will always bug me.....that stupid wood bat game against a team we should steamroll.....and losing 2 in Lexington. I know I'm being greedy but we should be 55-5 and if we REALLY show up we beat UK in a sweep and we are 56-4. Again, I know it's nitpicking....but that series loss in Lexington still ticks me off as does that game against TTU.

Winning the best conference in the country
Winning the best conference tournament and never trailed
Enjoy the rest of the ride.

No crying in baseball. Short memory is the key. 1-0 for today thinking.

I hope everyone remembers that no matter what happens going forward, a season like this season is not likely to be seen again in a very long time, if ever.

When everything is said and done, we can all sit back and enjoy our memories of this team, our coaches, and the excitement they created. It was a VERY good year!

Savor it till the end….and beyond.

Well Tn Tech used wood bats as well but losing to them is inexcusable.

The UK series was a head scratcher but they are obviously better than they were given credit, they were getting healthy, they were at home and, the elements and atmosphere were bad.

Kentucky not getting in is a head scratcher too.

Ole Miss won the series at UK, 2-1. Putting a finger on seeding priorities for a committee can be tough. There is also the financial return aspect. I think they got screwed like UT did in basketball.

Inexcusable is a bit of a stretch imho. UT lost to Charlotte, Lipscomb, and Indiana St twice in 2021. it’s very typical to have upsets during a long college baseball season.

This will be brought up in our journey through the tournament. You can't underestimate anyone in baseball. It has so many angles and bounces. Stay focused and stay the course. GBO !!!

This is just crazy. We’re witnessing history here.
Thanks for putting this together, @fryeguy93 .
