Does anyone know where to get information on which umpires are assigned to which regionals? Call me crazy..but I'm really hoping we do NOT get SEC umps throughout the post-season. I feel like they called a horrible strike zone all year, especially for us. I feel like a bigger zone would benefit our staff.

As an aside, I also feel like SEC umps somehow got off on calling balls when Skenes was pitching particularly. Every outing there were a handful of obvious strikes called balls.

In this dead time of nothingness, I think it’s a legitimate question.

Dont believe SEC umps are allowed to call our games. The host teams conference umps will not be assigned their regional.

I don't believe SEC umpires are allowed to officiate games involving SEC games for the rest of the year.

The umpires in CBB usually work for multiple Conferences. Hopefully the NCAA has graded out substandard performers for post season. No guarantees.

It might be better for us to have SEC umps. Other teams won't be used to it like we will. With umps from another conference our hitters might get caught looking at strikes and our pitchers are too used to having to put it on a tee. Other teams will be walking everyone if we used SEC umps and swinging at "balls"

I thought they just mixed up all the umpires for postseason games? We had an SEC guy behind the plate for that final elimination game against OSU in 2017.

I hope it’s anyone except SEC (which I don’t believe we’re allowed to have) or PAC-10 refs.

I have no idea how it really works but I’d bet the rant puts more thought into it than the NCAA does.

It’s probably just a list of umpires who want to work the games and they randomly get assigned to regional sites.
