Still could secure hosting with a win over a quality opponent and would give them 40 wins. Even though tournament play is over this is still a huge deal. Course tonight doesn't help the rpi at all.

Rpi took too big a hit. Too many other teams are too close to us in rpi and wins. We're not good enough to host. Our record of top 100 teams is about 50 % win/ loss record. Really not good.
No consistent go to hitters and no go to pitchers. May win one game in regional. Uva will beat duke and probably pitch worst pitcher against us.
I was really disappointed tonight with our game -- we got, out hit,out played, & out coached --nothing but swinging for the fence, bad judgement errors ( lack of concentration ?? ) -- and when coach sends in one of our starters ( Eubanks ) as a relief pitcher, that's playing scared** (IMHO) -- Beer, was swinging like he was tired ?? Rohlman,was taking a nap or something in left field ?? -- Greene & Jackson, buttin' heads in right field ( no communication at all ) -- but,I give Duke credit for some outstanding fielding that took the wind out of our sails -- just was not meant to be -- hope we get a good draw in the regional ( no hope of hosting,win or lose Friday** ) -- Go Tigers !!!
