re: Omaha Stats - National Seeds, Regional Host
Posted by Captain Falcon on 5/7/24 at 9:14 am
So fascinating that the #1 overall seed won it in the very first year of this format and then hasn’t won it a single time since. And has rarely even made the finals, with several #1 overall seeds failing to get to Omaha....

Yeah and it was in the 50’s before the Auburn series. State has jumped almost 40 spots in not even three weeks....

I’m pumped about the pitching matchups in Fayetteville this weekend. Everyone knows about Arkansas’s pitching and rightfully so, but State’s Friday and Saturday guys have been excellent in their own right....

I think the winner of the SC-Georgia series is just about a lock. State probably becomes a lock if they win two in Fayetteville though that seems unlikely.
I think Georgia and SC both just need 16 wins to host. State needs at least 17.
The first day of Hoover could end up mattering for this, t...
So… 7 SEC hosts this year?
Posted by Captain Falcon on 5/5/24 at 9:38 pm
Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, A&M are all locks,
State, SC, and Georgia are all at least two games over .500 in SEC and have Top 20 RPI’s. UGA is 5, SC is 13, State is 18. Though State does have the most SEC wins of the three and a head to head series win versus Georgia.
State closes with Ark...

Bama wins two in Starkville. Just a gut feeling. I think Bama is a lot better than their SEC record indicates. State has been play well lately but I worry they are due a letdown....

State/Vandy is a really big series. Vandy needs it to stay in the hosting mix. State needs it to stay off the bubble. I think State can live with only winning 1 of 3 but better not get swept....
re: 4/24/24 RPI update
Posted by Captain Falcon on 4/24/24 at 2:09 pm
State played a terrible nonconference schedule and then doubled down by losing several of those games. So the RPI stinks in spite of the good SEC record. Probably almost zero chance of hosting and need to finish with 15+ SEC wins just to make the NCAAT....

Both programs have just recruited poorly following their championships. I think Lemonis got complacent after winning the big one an...

Holy cow Ole Miss sucks.
State to me looks like a stereotypical dangerous 2 seed. Stephen and Cjintje are a nice 1-2 punch at the front of the rotation and there are a handful of good lineup pieces. Just need another arm or two and another bat or two to step up for them to take the next step befo...

State going for its eighth series win in a row over Ole Miss. Last time OM won a series against State was 2015.
State needs this one to boost their RPI which is currently kinda mediocre. OM’s season may be over for all intents and proposes if they don’t win two this weekend. ...

Ole Miss is one of the two worst hoops programs in the league along with Vandy. They weren’t good this year but still took a noticeable step forward from where Kermit had them....

State-UF is interesting, both teams shook up their rotation this weekend. State bumped up Stephen from Game 2 to Game 1 after he shut down A&M last week, UF moving Neely from the pen to Friday night starter.
If State wins a game or two this weekend I think they’d need to do it in the first two ga...
re: Who is the worst coach in SEC Basketball History?
Posted by Captain Falcon on 3/27/24 at 5:22 pm
Rick Ray had back to back 0-for-February’s. Did not win a game in the month of February until Year 3. Had two consecutive seasons with losing streaks of 13+. I watched this man lose 72-31 AT HOME to a Vandy team that finished sub .500 overall.
Amazingly he only finished last in the SEC once, whic...

We got Izzo’d. Shoulda seen it coming. This core group of players deserves credit for getting State back in the tourney two years in a row, but their deficiencies on offense capped their ceiling. Good enough to make the tournament, not good enough to win in it.
But a lot of them are gone now. Jan...
