OU Softball

The super-regional scores are interesting:

Washington 2 Missouri 1
Washington 1 Missouri 0
Michigan 4 Louisiana-Lafayette 3
Louisiana-Lafayette 5 Michigan 0
Michigan 2 Louisiana-Lafayette 1
Tennessee 3 Alabama 2
Currently, Tennessee 4 Alabama 3 in the fifth
Florida 4 UAB 3

Oklahoma 10 Texas A&M 2
Oklahoma 8 Texas A&M 0

All games have been decided by one run except the second one in Michigan and the two with OU.

I don't think many coaches would try to call an umpire's bluff in that situation. If they were wrong and lost by a forfeit, that would be hard to explain.

How difficult would it be to explain why you were playing in the rain? A coach can get away with it by saying they are protecting the players. What is the justification that ESPN and the NCAA have? Do you want that revealed? I think both ESPN and the NCAA would have caved.

... Some here blamed Kim for the loss saying she didn't have her team prepared. That is no more true than if the Sooners lose it will be Gasso's fault.

I don't think you can honestly say that. It is totally possible for one team to lose a game because a coach didn't have the team ready to play and another to lose a game for any of dozens of other reasons. The only way one could even guess would be to have access to the clubhouse, which I doubt you did.

I think you're just knee-jerking at Syb. JMO

I doubt any of those saying Kim didn't have her team prepared was in her meetings/gym either.

I don't recall if Syb was one who said that or not so my comment was certainly not directed specifically to him.

Gotcha. I don,t think any would want to be in the locker room with Mulk.
 
Washington 2 Missouri 1
Washington 1 Missouri 0
Michigan 4 Louisiana-Lafayette 3
Louisiana-Lafayette 5 Michigan 0
Michigan 2 Louisiana-Lafayette 1
Tennessee 3 Alabama 2
Tennessee 5 Alabama 3 (Bama is gone)
Florida 4 UAB 3

Oklahoma 10 Texas A&M 2
Oklahoma 8 Texas A&M 0

Nebraska 5 Oregon 2
Texas 3 Florida State 2
Arizona State 5 Kentucky 4

3 SEC teams were sent home without a win.

Eight of the thirteen games have been decided by one run. The others have been decided by five, three, two, and OU's games by eight runs each. I think that makes a statement.

True but OU was playing the 16 seed!

I'm not sure what the point is, but not everyone that made it this far is seeded at all.

#1 Oklahoma eliminated #16 A&M
#2 Florida is playing unseeded UAB
#3 Oregon is down a game to #14 Nebraska
#4 Texas is playing unseeded Florida State
#5 Arizona State is up a game to #12 Kentucky
#6 Missouri was eliminated by #11 Washington
#7 Tennessee eliminated #10 Alabama
#8 Michigan eliminated unseeded Louisiana-Lafayette

True, at this stage of the season, all teams are capable of springing the upset. And pitching is a large component of whether that upset happens, so if a team gets a great pitching performance, it vastly helps their chances of advancing...

Nebraska jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first in the rubber game.
 
May 30
12:00 Washington vs Oregon/Nebraska winner
2:30 Tennessee vs Florida

7:00 Arizona State vs Texas
8:30 Oklahoma vs Michigan

Currently, Nebraska leads Oregon 3-2 in the deciding game, top of the sixth. Nebraska has a serious threat to score more with runners on first and third and nobody out.

Nebraska 4 Oregon 2====Nebraska gets the final slot.

Women's College World Series is made up of:

Big XII: Oklahoma and Texas
PAC12: Washington and Arizona State
SEC: Tennessee and Florida
Big 10: Nebraska and Michigan

Didn't WCWS used have 4 or more west coast teams?

They had 4 Big 12 teams just 2 years ago...OU, osu, Hypocrite U and Mizzou.
 
Until last year, the west coast had won six in a row. They are still the cream, despite what the SEC thinks. Missouri discovered that in Columbia, as did Kentucky.

OU has played Texas, Washington, and Nebraska. Nebraska won the series with Michigan in Lincoln.
 
The Michigan schedule

http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/w-softbl/sched/mich-w-softbl-sched.html

Notice that Michigan started rather slowly. They lost early to:

#37 South Florida 3-2 in Tampa
#179 LIU-Brooklyn 2-1 in Boca Raton
#46 DePaul 4-3 in Clearwater
#6 LSU 14-6 in Orlando
#4 Oregon 13-4 (6) in Orlando
#15 Louisville 5-4 in Louisville
#38 Virginia Tech 3-2 in Fullerton

On the way to a 50-11 record, 20-2 in conference play. They dominated the conference, losing only two of three in Lincoln.

They did beat some good non-conference opponents:

#17 Louisiana-Lafayette 3-1 in Clearwater
#20 Hofstra 3-0 in Clearwater
#16 Texas A&M 9-2 in Orlando
#12 Washington 6-1 in Fullerton
#11 Arizona State 5-4 in Fullerton
#29 Arizona 9-1 (6) in Fullerton

But, most of their reputation was built on destroying the Big Ten. They were #3 in scoring in the nation behind Oklahoma and Tennessee. Incidentally, Florida (#9), Texas (#21), Washington (#23), Arizona State (#4), and Nebraska (#51) are in other teams that made the World Series.

In ERA, it was
#1 Oklahoma
#4 Texas
#8 Florida
#9 Nebraska
#12 Tennessee
#25 Arizona State
#36 Michigan
#58 Washington
