2011 Road to Omaha

In a sign of how little the two sports overlap, there are only four NCAA hockey schools in this year's NCAA baseball tournament:

In the Clemson regional, #2 seed UConn opens against #3 Coastal Carolina Friday at 3:00. At 7:00, #4 seed Sacred Heart will play #1 Clemson.

In the Austin regional, #4 seed Princeton will play #1 Texas at 7:30 on Friday.

And in the Chapel Hill regional, #4 seed Maine will play #1 North Carolina at 6:00 on Friday.
 
Re: 2011 Road to Omaha

ASU was left hanging to the very last moment as to whether they'd be postseason eligible this year or not, finding out before their final game last sunday that their looming one year postseason ban resulting from the Pat Murphy fiasco will likely be bumped to next year as the NCAA hasn't ruled on their appeal to date. Get your act together NCAA. It'd be extra sweet if ASU could pull it off this season, though they aren't quite the power they were last year. But, sometimes adversity can make up the difference. ASU gets Arkansas once again in their regional.

Same number to NCAA Division I softball-Harvard, Notre Dame, Western Michigan and Michigan--none made it to OKC.

Gotta love Dartmouth choking in the ILCS yet again; Princeton's barely a .500 team, Dartmouth was around 20 games over. Same verse, different year. Think they've won the Red Rolfe Division roughly every other year for the last 10-15 years, if not more so. And only won the title once.

I'd have to go with the Los Angeles regional, with UCLA, Fresno State, UC-Irvine, and San Francisco. No easy pickings there, and the regionals in that part of the country somehow often seem to get stacked.

Nice weekend for ASU. They get started slowly, edging New Mexico 4-2, but then roll over Charlotte 16-1 and Arkansas 13-4 to take the region. Now on to the superregional, where they square off with the winner of Texas-Kent State.

How about that Dallas regional, with TCU and Oklahoma sent home, and Dallas Baptist and Oral Roberts, the #3 and #4 seeds, left!

Stanford sweeps the Fullertion regional and advances to play UNC in the super-regional.
