Hoos opener is at noon on ESPN + streaming on Friday.
How we feel about this regional? Don’t love ECU
NCAA has zero creativity. Seems like we’ve had Army and ECU in regionals three or four times, and OU for a regional and a Supers.
Also sets up the possibility that Early faces his old team in Game 1 and Parker faces his in Game 2.
Parker came from Coastal, he’s got a chance to play them in the Supers.
He did pitch a gem in his start against ECU in last year’s regional.

Will hopefully get up scouring reports on our starting pitcher opponents when those names are known.
How are you feeling about the draw, KarlHess? Any predictions?
Didn’t get a few teams that I thought we could have that I didn’t want to see (Maryland, Tennessee specifically) and didn’t get a team I thought we might get that I wanted to draw (UCONN).
What I like about the regional is that we’ll have to play good baseball to win it. What I don’t like is that we can’t show up to the park and just roll, so I suspect there’s going to be some stress if we’re to emerge victorious.
ECU and Oklahoma are both not as good as last year’s squads. But they’ll both have chips on their shoulders because that’s how ECU always is and Oklahoma is getting some bad press for getting into the field over Kansas State. The Sooners look to be a team that sets out to challenge you in the running game over trying to hit the ball out of the park, so that’s a different dimension.
Army is a solid club that probably isn’t going to have the depth required at this level but they have a few guys that I’d take on our team. They’re a very solid 4 seed, so the odds of a laugher like we sometimes pop in the midweek games is highly unlikely to happen.
I think us or ECU will be the winner. Kind of surprised that Oklahoma got into the field looking at them closer. Would like to see Army win at least one game as long as it is not at our expense.
Of all the B12 teams to draw, OU was the one to get. I wanted none of TCU. Their bats are on fire.
UVA regional press conference. Sounds like Edge is getting the start tomorrow, I think it’s a good move personally.
