Dawg83 Posted May 17, 2025 Author Share Posted May 17, 2025 State sweeps Mizzou with another run rule. Wild that the one game in the series that wasn’t a run rule was the most lopsided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted May 17, 2025 Author Share Posted May 17, 2025 Barring a late miracle comeback by Oklahoma, State will be the 11 seed in Hoover playing A&M in the late game Tuesday. It looks like Ole Miss is the 7 seed and does not play until Wednesday, but that would likely be against Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 The 2017 Hattiesburg Regional was the infamous mud bog Regional that State had no business winning but we somehow managed to do so. Ideally I would like to win a couple of games in Hoover and then come home. Don’t really care to win it as that would not help us any. At this juncture we are high 3/low 2 and that is not going to change any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 State women stay alive with a wild back and forth 11-10 win over Washington. Have to beat Texas Tech twice but I think we certainly capable of doing such a thing. Let’s Go Dawgs!!! Ole Miss is in the drivers seat with two wins in their regional and now just need one victory to advance to the Supers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David44 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 As to hosting, West Virginia should be eliminated, NC State as well, an possibly UC Irving. USM an OMiss should be moving up in those conversations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 USM with a sweep over a good Troy team on the road. With a good showing in the Conference Tournament how do they not host? I think they have earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David44 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Exactly, can’t justify the Sunbelt only qualifies for 1 regional now. Coastal has won 14 straight, USM 15 straight. Overall, Sunbelt may be a little down, but these 2 have earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 Might be hard for USM to get a host site. I just doubt they give the sun belt 2 sites. Coastal should be a lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted May 18, 2025 Author Share Posted May 18, 2025 There is a major log jam for the last 2 or 3 host spots. I don’t think it’s settled at all yet and conference tourneys will matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted May 18, 2025 Share Posted May 18, 2025 State women lose to TT 9-6 to conclude a good but not quite great season. But certainly the program has been consistently good over the last 6-7 years. Defeated Bama on the road two out of three this year. And were very competitive with everyone on the schedule. Seemed like we ran into a buzz saw out at Texas Tech this weekend. Ole Miss down early to AZ but still need to only win one game tonight.

David44 Posted May 19, 2025 Share Posted May 19, 2025 D1baseball projection from 5/18 has USM as the 14th National seed, Ole Miss coming to Hattiesburg. Coastal is the 10th seed host, Miss State going to Tallahassee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted May 19, 2025 Share Posted May 19, 2025 good possibility those projections are close to correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted May 20, 2025 Author Share Posted May 20, 2025 There is a major log jam for the last 2 or 3 host spots. I don’t think it’s settled at all yet and conference tourneys will definitely matter. Maybe I’m wrong but State feels like more of a 2 seed than a 3 seed, IMO. Guess it doesn’t necessarily make a big difference. Geography dictates a lot of it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David44 Posted May 20, 2025 Share Posted May 20, 2025 Yes, a lot to be decided. I think USM needs to win 3 games and get to the championship to be safely hosting. Other than perhaps Troy, any loss in their side of the 4 team bracket, could drop the RPI too much. If they win 3 and lose the 1 game championship to Coastal, I don' t believe they will drop much, if any. Ole Miss, sitting at 17 D1 ranking and 18 RPI, certainly still in the hosting mix, if they can make some kinda run at Hoover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted May 20, 2025 Author Share Posted May 20, 2025 Bama and Tennessee will be playing tomorrow, could have Florida vs Ole Miss too. Both games could be very important for hosting purposes with all four teams right along the host bubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted May 21, 2025 Share Posted May 21, 2025 State getting crushed in Hoover by A&M. While I was hoping to win a game or two, it is not the worst thing to happen. Come home and get a break and get ready for a Regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted May 21, 2025 Author Share Posted May 21, 2025 Feel like State is a prime candidate for a 2 or 3 seed out west. Eugene or Corvallis, something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted May 21, 2025 Share Posted May 21, 2025 maybe they get a 2 seed. i have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted May 21, 2025 Share Posted May 21, 2025 Actually I am fine with flying under the radar as a three seed. Nobody needs to pay any attention to us… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
