NCAA Baseball Tournament (Official Thread)

Regional review
For the first time since 2003, the Aggies are hosting a postseason Regional. That development has a buzz filtering throughout the Brazos Valley. While the Aggies are happy to host, they will get down to business Friday night against a Le Moyne team that hopes to surprise the field of four. While the pitching staff is likely to determine A&M's postseason results, the offense has the ability to score runs in high amounts. As a result, the Aggies have over 40 wins this spring ? Louisiana-Lafayette enters the College Station Regional with a chip on its shoulder. The Ragin' Cajuns fully expected to host a Regional as a one-seed. In the end, the Cajuns weren't rewarded with either. Catcher Jonathan Lucroy leads the offensive charge for ULL, while Danny Farquhar, Hunter Moody and others hope to carry the pitching staff ? Ohio State faces a tough ULL team in the Regional opener, but should feel confident with Cory Luebke on the mound. Luebke is one of the most underrated pitchers in the country and brings an impressive resume to the mound.

I'm betting we don't see ULL's ace on Friday. Will they see Luebke? I'd say definitely yes. The biggest questions follow Luebke. Will Hale and company be able to step it up the way they did in the Big10 tourney? Will we be able to score more than 4 runs? Its going to be fun thats for sure!

Well, actually you are getting the best we have right now. Farquhar has been very good since converting from the closer to Friday starter. A & M is not as good facing lefties, so resting Luebke another day is smart. Consensus among our opponents is that Farquhar is extremely filthy.
