KingOwlLegacy MumsTheWord agree 100% with all that. Mimbs turned a solid double play and has been swinging well. The freshmen pitchers should start to show progress by conference play. It's very rare to see freshmen especially pitchers come in and dominate from day one. They just need confidence and to get comfortable.
Wingman A sweep of Jacksonville U this weekend leaves the Owls tied for 5th in the conference standings (8 teams make the ASUN tournament). Perhaps more important is the RPI which determines the conference seeding. The Owls are 3rd in RPI. 3 series remain; 2 are against top ASUN teams FGCU and Lipscomb. If the Owls can finish strong they can secure a good position in the tournament.
KingOwl Wingman Yes sir. What KSU needs to do: -Win 2 of 3 vs. Lipscomb, Sweep UNA, assess the situation and determine best strategy vs. FGCU with tourney just days later. -Pull hard for Queens, UNA, FGCU, and Bellarmine in all their matchups. These teams winning can only help us in the standings. -Root against Liberty so they finish outside the Top 8
Wingman KingOwl The funny thing about Liberty is they are 2nd in the conference in RPI, while in a 4-way tie for 7th place in the standings. So they will get a good seed IF they make the ASUN tournament, but they may not make it.
KingOwl Wingman lol precisely, very weird situation. I wonder what their RPI would be if they won all their midweeks and lost all their conference games
Wingman The Owls got swept by Lipscomb this weekend and are currently in a 3 way tie for 8th in the standings and 6th in RPI. 2 series remain against last place UNA and first place FGCU. We will need a sweep this weekend and some good luck to remain in contention for a slot in the ASUN tournament.
Wingman The win over GA Tech puts us at 5th in the ASUN for RPI. My real concern is making it to the conference tournament. We need to win as many of the last 6 conference games as we can.
KingOwl Wingman Yep. Getting swept twice and giving away the Liberty game might be killers. Need to absolutely sweep this weekend and then win at least one next weekend.
chandler-wright KingOwl eastern Kentucky winning the liberty series and a fgcu sweep of unf would also be massive. And any help from lipscomb jax state and Stetson would be icing on the cake as they play the teams one game above or one game below us. Granted this is all reliant on a ksu sweep this weekend
Wingman KingOwl except we were at the wrong end of the broom There may be a slim possibility of the making the tournament but to be a realist, it’s not going to happen.
BurialGround Pretty disappointing. This team has some good pieces to work with going into next season, I don't think it would take very much for us to be at or near the top of the ASUN, but it's still disappointing getting swept by a team as bad as UNA, and we weren't even really that competitive. We were truly one of the worst teams in the entire country this past weekend.
KingOwl BurialGround Yep, it was embarrassing. A much better showing last night against FSU even with the loss
KingOwl chandler-wright I think we'll see more enter but I don't think we'll be losing any big pieces
chandler-wright KingOwl looking at the roster and who aall and how they played I’d say we will see at least 5-7 more in the portal
