They should be. I’ve listened to a few podcasts, baseball America and D1 baseball where they said probably max of two host out of: Florida, UT, Bama and Ole Miss. SECN said the same yesterday.

It would be great to get back to the CWS, and I think, with some breaks, we could, but that is a recognition of the grit of this team more than the talent, since so much of the talent is sidelined this year. Really, just proud of all they accomplished getting this far. It's all gravy after this.No. 15 Florida Headed to Conway Regional in 17th-Straight NCAA Tournament Bid - Florida Gators
No. 2-seed Florida is joined in Conway by No. 1-seed Coastal Carolina, No. 3-seed East Carolina and No. 4-seed Fairfield.
I think we'll have Colby Shelton back, but we're still missing 3 of our starting 8 from the opening day lineup and losing Luke Heyman recently is huge. But this has been a resilient group.
I quit watching in the 4th when it went to 9-0. ECU just came out focused and on fire and we looked half asleep. They have to flush it and try to win 4 straight. Not probable, but still possible.

There's no reason why we don't have enough fire power offensively to still turn this around anyway.. Though the last two games they've played have not looked good
Plus, Heyman's bat and catching skills are sorely missed. Donay is not nearly as good a defensive catcher as Luke.
We’re lucky to have Donay as a backup but no question Heyman makes that play tonight down the second run and we probably get out of that inning down 1-0. Then Peterson probably Lu doesn’t melt down and it’s a completely different game.
Seeded teams are getting knocked off. Parity is everywhere and no game can be taken for granted. #15 Ole Miss is losing to Murray State in the Oxford Regional. Utah Valley is beating #5 Oregon in their Game 1. Columbia beat #12 Southern Miss. St. Marys beat #8 Oregon State.

I think when it comes to the post season, it's a matter of last man standing. What I mean by that is knocking out the other starter pitcher and getting into a weak bullpen. We've got the bats, but do we have enough arms to make it out of the loser's bracket again?
Agree that Peterson won't pitch today. Coppola is almost unhitable when he's on. His problem has always been finding the strike zone consistently and throwing way too many pitches. It would be awesome if he could go 5 or 6, but his pattern has been more like 3 or 4. IF we win, my guess is tonight's starter will either be the veteran Billy Barlow or the freshman Jackson Barberi. But it's one game at a time and we've got to beat East Carolina befor even thinking about Coastal Carolina, who used their ace pitcher last night.

Yes and I’m sure no one is more disappointed than coach O’Sullivan and his players.Too many injuries to overcome, inconsistent pitching all year and too many holes in the defense and in the batting order. We're going to see a whole lot of new faces on next year's roster. Disappointing season all around.
