philliken Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Bills get a four seed and draw South Carolina, Liberty, and Clemson. By earning a four seed, they avoid having to play in a pool with the top 8 seeds. Great work, boys. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sluball200 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Winnable bracket if Clemson gets beat by Liberty which is possible. I like the selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Beating the chickens in Columbia won't be a walk in the park. They're like 24-0 there in the playoffs. They'll have a full house and their fans are rabid dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwyjibo Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The times and actual schedule have not been released yet but ALL games will be on ESPN somewhere. ESPN is experimenting with NCAA baseball blanket coverage this year. At worst the game will be on online/ESPN3/WatchESPN mobile. SLU got one of the easier pods in terms of host/top seed but Clemson and South Carolina are about equal (so there 2 seed is one of the toughest). Liberty is also one of the easier 3 seeds (decent RPI but computer rankings worse than SLU; Liberty has played well lately but were 6-13 against middling competition in March). The Gamecockerels have taken 2 out 3 from Liberty and Clemson in series earlier this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I don't think anyone has posted this yet, Here is a link to the NCAA baseball "bracket" The way baseball works is that #4 SLU plays a double-elimination tournament with the 3 other teams in their "pod" (#1 South Carolina, #2 Clemson, #3 Liberty). The winner of this would advance to the "super regionals" for a best of 3 series against the winner of the North Carolina pod (#1 UNC, #2 FL Atlantic, #3 Towson, #4 Canisus). The super regional is roughly equivalent to the sweet 16 in basketball. The winners of the super regionals go on to the "college world series" in Omaha. The CWS is an 8 team double elimination tournament. Although it involves 8 teams, the CWS is roughly equivalent to the final four in hoops in terms of the excitement around it. The chances of SLU making the CWS are very slim, but it would be tremendously positive for the baseball program and the school if they were to do so. Having been to the CWS in the past despite not caring about any of the teams in it, I would definitely go again if SLU made the field. The CWS is a crazy party atmosphere with massive amount of tailgating and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CWS is a crazy party atmosphere with massive amount of tailgating and whatnot. If they were "hypothetically" in the CWS, they would be the fan favorite. The locals always pull for the underdog, granted it would be semi close to home we would have a good fan base out there. Needless to say it would be big if the Bills could win 1-2 games in a regional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUBillsFan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Baseball American Columbia Regional Preview: Saint Louis entered the season as one of our top candidates to be “the next Stony Brook,” and the Billikens lived up to that billing by winning the A-10 regular-season title. The top-seeded Billikens lost their conference tournament opener to Xavier but rallied through the losers’ bracket with five straight victories to secure their second trip to regionals in four years. Saint Louis is loaded with experience, as it returned eight of its nine everyday players and 10 pitchers from its 41-win 2012 season. Senior righthander Alex Alemann (6-6, 3.36) and junior righty Clay Smith (8-2, 3.76) weren’t as good this year as they were in 2012, but they still give Saint Louis an uncommonly experienced pair of big-game bulldogs atop the rotation. Alemann’s stuff was down in his last two outings, but he has won a lot of games by locating his 88-90 fastball, good changeup and slider. Smith has average to slightly better fastball velocity, two solid breaking balls, a serviceable changeup and good feel for pitching. Catcher Grant Nelson, second baseman Mike Levine and shortstop Alec Sole make the Billikens strong up the middle; Sole has 22 errors but is capable of making standout plays as well. Offensively, the Billikens can struggle against big velocity, but they can string together hits in a hurry against fringy stuff, and they rank 19th in the nation with a .307 team batting average. Leading hitter Mike Vigliarolo (.347/.381/.536, 8 HR, 40 RBI) is an aggressive, powerful hitter with more athleticism than it first appears. When Alex Kelly (.340/.427/.546, 11 HR, 60 RBI) and Braxton Martinez (.323/.393/.464, 7 HR, 29 RBI) get hot, the Billikens are very dangerous. They’re not afraid to hit-and-run and manufacture offense, and they can also win with the long ball. Saint Louis must be regarded as one of the most dangerous No. 4 seeds in the tournament, with a legitimate shot to win its Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
