I see that my Coogs faltered in the C-USA tourney (here in Houston) after pulling the upset of East Carolina, and as a result, no NCAA bid this year. Their record just didn’t justify it, even though they played the toughest non-conference schedule in the country.
C-USA got four teams in the tourney, and I thought heading in that TCU and Houston were both on the bubble. TCU effectively played their way off the bubble and in by winning the tourney. C-USA was not going to get another bubble spot, especially not for a team barely over .500. So there you go.
Still, it was an exciting finish for the Coogs, who played some really good baseball down the stretch despite being in a major rebuilding year. I can’t wait for next season.

Yeah, it’s strange not seeing the Coogs in the tourney. They’ll be back, no question about it. For now, you can focus on what’s really important – making sure A$M doesn’t make it out of their bracket. 🙂
The committee does get a bit political, awarding bids to teams with programs on the rise. In a perfect world, UH would be the 4th seed in the Houston regional instead of TSU.
