LSU #10 overall seed in softball regionals

yeah very difficult path to OKC—hell difficult path to get out of our regional

Of course OU gets the easiest path

Paired with a 21 loss Bama in supers

Not a super host? Hmmm

I know everyone is worried about Nebraska because of Bahl, but they were only 2-5 against Top 25 teams in games she pitched (with one of the wins over barely Top 25 Ohio St in a game she gave up 5 runs). Nebraska has given up a lot of unearned runs behind her. That said, Nebraska is certainly more dangerous than similarly ranked teams in a short series because of her.

SLU is a tough out for a #4 seed. They were always coming to LSU due to antiquated travel rules, but by RPI rankings they should have been the last #3 seed, not a #4. They played LSU, FSU, and A&M tough, but #66 Iowa St is the highest ranked RPI win they have. They lost series at home to McNeese St and Nicholls St. Not the walkover you would hope for the #4 seed, but LSU should take care of business.

I definitely didn’t want to draw Tennessee due to Pickens, but I’m not sure how the Vols got the higher seed. Yes, they were 15-9 in conference, but 4 of their conference series were against SEC opponents who didn’t get national seeds while LSU had only 2 such series. They also went 1-3 non-conference against the Top 20, while LSU was 3-0. LSU was 10-12 against the Top 20 to 7-10 for Tennessee.

UCLA is also questionable as a higher seed. They were 5-5 against the Top 20, but had 5 other losses compared to only 2 losses outside the Top 20 for LSU. With the head-to-head win and better RPI, I don’t see the rationale for UCLA ahead of LSU.

Another year of not being a top 8 seed.

Another year of hearing this was going to be the year.

Another year of Beth not living up to the hype.

She probably just needs more time.

Same thing year after year....Beth needs to go! We need fresh blood in the softball system. Beth gets shown up big time by many other coaches and teams.

I agree, but the end of season swoon didn't help matters

Yeah we should have won more games, but who else had their last 4 league series against what would be the #1,3,4, and 6 seeds in the NCAA tournament? Of course your record isn't going to be great. I think the committee should consider that and I don't think they did.

Kissing west coast arse, as usual. LSU also had a very good RPI at five. Either way, they just don’t have consistent enough pitching to win it all this year, although Heavener and Berzon at times are nearly unhittable.

If we don't get out of our own regional Beth could be dismissed
