State has never won a national championship in any sport, if you guys get to the finals (i dont see that happening), youre the definition of a cinderella. Good luck!

You have a different definition of Cinderella than the rest of the world. Coastal Carolina, Stony Brook, Fresno State - all recent Cinderellas.

Preseason, MSU was the sixth favorite to win via the oddsmakers (Arkansas was third). They went through a lot of shite early and then got it together midseason. That's not a Cinderella, that's a team that had high expectations, struggled early and played like the team they are when it counts.

The way the bracket sets up in Omaha it doesn't hurt teams that aren't deep in pitching. As it has been stated, if State wins tonight, they don't play until Friday.

TD Ameritrade also favors teams like MSU that hit a lot of line drives and extra base hits that aren't over the wall. State leads the SEC in doubles. TDA is a doubles friendly park.
