KU Pitcher

[shocker3]

I mentioned KUs stats earlier. Here is Missouri States:

MO ST has a rpi of 63 (Ku has a rpi of 53)
MO ST has a 11-9 road record (17-12 road & neutral- Ku is 12-18 in road & neutral games)
MO ST is 9-1 in last 10 games (ku is 4-6 in last 10 games)
MO ST is 6-7 vs. rpi top 50, 12-8 vs. rpi top 100 (ku is 18-19 vs. rpi top 100)
MOST Won Regular season Conference title, went 2-1 in conference tourney (ku finished in 5th place in the regular season in a much tougher conference but went 0-3 in the conference tourney).
MOST went 14-6 against the rpi 101-200, Ku went 3-3 against the rpi 101-200.

The committee could make a case either way for either one of them depending on what they want to emphasize.

Do you take a regular season conference champ that finished the season strong (9-1) or do you take a sixth team from the big 12 that finished the season weak (4-6 and 0-3 in conference tourney)?

They could take them both or leave them both out. My best guess is that ku is probably on the right side of the bubble and MO ST is probably on the wrong side.

For what it is worth, Baseball America has them both in.

MO ST would have a stronger case if the Valley had been stronger this year.

I'm surprised you guys think Ku is on the bubble, one final projection I saw has them as a 3 seed, that is a big difference, I guess we will see tomarrow.

William- That is not unusual at all. The 4 seeds are usually automatic qualifiers from the bottom 16 conferences.

The bubble at large teams are usually among the 3 seeds.

According to Warren Nolan there are 13 conference qualifiers that have a worse rpi than WSU (90). All of those teams will be 4 seeds for sure. There are 3 more automatic qualifiers that have a better rpi than WSU but worse than Ku. That makes 17 teams that are automatically in the tourney with a worse rpi than Ku. There are a couple more automatic qualifiers with a slightly better rpi than Ku that could also possibly be given a 4 seed. (Which also means there is a very slight chance that WSU could be a 3 seed instead of a 4 seed, but highly unlikely).


It is extremely unlikey that if Ku (or MOST) makes the ncaa tournament that they would be a 4 seed.

Classy on your part

Probably already mentioned, he did not wish arm trouble for the kid, he was referencing the white pants comment the KU frosh said after his spectacular performance against us.

If you think "we" should give him (Ridenhour) a break, please explain why you believe this.

I course we should give him a break. Isnt it apparent that the kid lacks intellectual and social skills. Thats why he chose KU so he could be around others like himself. 8)

Hey William..... you wont see an at large that is a 4 seed. think about it for a second :wacko:

there may be one or two but generally thats reserved for teams like WSU this year. teams that only made it because thier conference has to have a rep.

He will pitch in the post season. :-x

The golden rule boys, the golden rule.

BTW, what makes you think KU won't be in the tournament?

If applied in general, I agree. Anybody can make a dumb remark (e.g. Gene, Brent, me, you, etc.). I don't expect to hear criticism of a dumb comment to the media by you and don't expect to find criticism of somebody else's silly comments in your posts here. If I do, I'll recognize a hypocrite.

I didn't think KU had a good enough finish to get in. I still don't.

Although I could care less, KU deserved to get in. They won series against Texas 3-0, KSU 2-1 and OU 2-1 and us of course (ugh). Texas and OU are top 8 national seeds. Their 15-15 record against the RPI top 50 is pretty good too. They stunk it up in the conference tourney, but their body of work was good enough.

Had they not swept us though, they would not have gotten in. :D

KC, I swear you defend KU here more than you do WSU.

How am I defending them? I'm just quoting facts. Just because I/we don't like a particular program doesn't mean we can set aside our negative feelings and objectively evaluate the merits of that team and whether or not they deserve something.

I think KU deserved a bid too. But that has nothing to do with the post I made.
