The team played very well during the conference season. Hopefully there's enough pitching depth to win this tournament and get back to the NCAAs for the first time since 2006. I've seen where it has been mentioned that Matt Crohan has been working hard to get back this season. Anyone know if he'll be available this week at all?

First two days of tournament have been rained out. Will be very tough to get the full tournament completed by Sunday unless everything goes right with weather and field conditions now. The Sun Belt has changed their tournament to single elimination because they have also had two days rained out. Will be curious to see if the Big South does the same thing.

Games are scheduled to get started today at 11. WU plays the third game today..probably earliest they would start is 6:00, but could end up being 7:00 or later depending on how long the first two games take.
