Some of you need to quit shopping. Ever. For the rest of you lives.

Fun opening session so far...

Host team loss (#9 Southern Miss vs Little Rock)

Host team in trouble (#4 Auburn vs Milwaukee)

Host team escaping (#8 Florida vs Rider)

3-over-2 finals (ECU over Tennessee in 14; Liberty over Boston College)

3-over-2 in progress (USC Upstate leading Oklahoma State in the 8th)

Yeah for being the 13th seed Nebraska did appear to get pretty good draw:

ASU got screwed. The RPI is terrible. I don't know why they still use it in baseball. There's a reason basketball uses the NET and KenPom instead. Currently the NCAA has the three teams ranked:

Ole Miss #18
Nebraska #20
Arizona State #22

It will be an interesting regional with three teams that should have been 2-seeds.

 

[JM4CY]

I didn’t watch the whole thing but was tracking the ECU Vols game and that was one of the better college games I’ve ever seen.

 

[BigJCy]

#4 Overall Seed Auburn trails Milwaukee 10-0 in the 4th Inning.

Milwaukee wins 13-8.

 

[BigJCy]

Lamar leads 12 seed Texas A&M 4-0.

#1 seed UCLA tied with St. Mary's 2-2 in the 7th.

 

[theshadow]

Oklahoma State loses to USC Upstate, 8-5.

 

[BigJCy]

St. Mary's beats 1 seed UCLA 3-2.

1st time in this format of the Tournament (26 years) the 1 seed has lost their 1st game.

 

[BigJCy]

St. John's beats 10 seed Florida State 6-5

Final game of the night is in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Arizona State and Ole Miss locked up 6-6, in the 14th inning. Last run scored was in the 7th.
