Should be a good weekend of baseball. I'm surprised UCSB was able to make a 2 seed in a rebuilding year. Washington is probably a strong 3 seed, but I'm pretty happy with our draw. At least we aren't Ole Miss.

Same here, not a bad draw at all, though I wish we were not matched up with Louisville in the Super (assuming we make it out of the Region).

Not a bad draw. Would like to exact some revenge on Louisville for 2013 if we both advance.

Well, at least we know what the worst-case scenario would be now...
Good, but not a great season. Fought hard at the end, but I don't think their hearts were really in it.

Kendall Rogers had a good write-up which summarized my thoughts on yesterday pretty closely:

Donny Everett would’ve been proud of his brothers in Black and Gold on Saturday. Late Thursday night, the Commodores received word of Everett’s tragic and unexpected passing. And as Friday moved along, the last thing the Commodores were thinking about was a baseball game. Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin loaded his team up on a bus, drove the short trek to Clarksville, Tenn., where some smiles and, of course, tears were shed with his teammates – his brothers – and the Everett family. That meeting helped, but it was far from the total healing process the Commodores need to get through this tragedy. That will take days, weeks, and perhaps even months to overcome. Though UC Santa Barbara and Washington were able to get their game in Friday afternoon, the Commodores and No. 4 seed Xavier were not, as heavy rain swept through the Nashville area. NCAA officials had given Tim Corbin and the Commodores the opportunity earlier in the day to delay the entire regional a day, but Corbin insisted on moving forward as scheduled.
That right there shows you Corbin’s strength in a nutshell, even though he knew deep down he probably needed more time to get his team in game-playing shape. Then came Saturday. Vanderbilt players left a spot during the national anthem for Donny Everett. (Vandy photo) Vanderbilt players left a spot during the national anthem for Donny Everett. (Vandy photo) One full night of trying to process Everett’s passing wasn’t going to happen, and it was evident Saturday morning against Xavier. As the ‘Dores competed in the SEC tournament last weekend, I came away from those performances feeling like this team had the tools to make a valiant run through the NCAA postseason. But, this team was heartbroken on Saturday, and it looked like baseball was the last thing on their mind. Who could blame them?
