To preserve their RPI, I assume. Cancelled with Samford this week and UAB for next. Samford's website says the cancellation was at Alabama's request and not weather or Covid related.

Is this common for teams on the bubble?

Alabama cancelled because they’re out of arms. Injuries have plagued the pitching roster most of the year. They’ve only gotten two games out of a potential first round pick in Connor Prielipp.

I have never heard of any team, in any sport, in any league, at any level, being able to cancel certain scheduled games at their own free will, whether it be to preserve their ranking, their pitchers, or any other bogus reason.

What a crock of horseshite.

I expect Samford and UAB to receive some additional state funding soon.

If I was a writer and Bama was on my bubble, they’re getting popped. If you don’t have the arms to play four in a week, how’re you supposed to get through the tourney?
