TBH, I surprised we're seeded that high. We really stumbled down the stretch and really didn't deserve anything higher. We will now see what this team is made up of in terms of grit and determination.

we were the #! team for 12 straight weeks, and we get a #5 nat seed? does anyone else call Bulls&*t on that?

southsidedell•11 months

Nah. LSU kinda ran out of gas late. But hey, you get hot not none of it matters. Beat up who they put in front of you.

Morpheus•11 months

Don’t think so brah. We were like 50/50 W/Ls the last 3 weeks so actually I’d say the opposite.

19-40??? How are they even in?

daydranking•11 months

by winning the AAC tournament. Conference tournament winners get auto bids and Tulane did that to the surprise of literally everybody

Don't sleep on the greenies, especially if they have a LH pitcher that can't break 90...

LSUmudman•11 months

So do you throw your weakest pitcher at a 40 loss team?

We comin

Shovelhead•11 months

But are you backing down? Cause we ain’t.

stratman•11 months

You would think a Tulane fan would say it correctly, "We ARE coming", but no... just another yat.

:) I'm a yat, too...LOL.

Not mad about getting to play a .322 baseball team in the postseason.

RightWingTiger•11 months

But I bet your still mad at your 3rd grade Maths teacher. Huh?

dred24•11 months

Yes. Conference tournament winner gets in.

Saunson69•11 months

How the heck does a 19-40 team make tourney? Is it like March Madness, conference winner gets in?

AlbinoGator•11 months

How in the Frick. Of you are 19-40 you should never get a look at post season. The regular season means much more than a 4 day conference tournament. I'll never understand that in any sport in college

RightWingTiger•11 months

No, the committee just thought that 18 of Tulane’s 19 Wins, Plus the fact that they ALMOST got back to 500 were so impressive they decided they were very deserving!!
