I'm sure there's a reason, but why can't you just do a 12 team single elimination tournament with the top 4 getting byes? Not enough inventory of games?

That might have something to do with it. Right now there are 15 games. Single elimination tournament would only be 11 games.

UVA looks strong. I realize it was GT but still.

Duke doesn't play again until Friday. We play Thursday so they do get an extra day of rest.


Correct. Like I said. 2 full days versus 1.

IMO best (realistic) case for Thursday is

Highfill goes 5. Baker and Lawson go 2 innings a piece.


Baker....nooooooo! Lol

We played them what feels like ages ago and lost a close one then went 1-1 in the final two.

Their pitching seems to be shaky but have some really good hitters at the top half of the order.

To piggy back off this- they have one of the best closers in the country and have 2 other more than capable bullpen arms. We need to get to their starter early. Walters, the closer, is capable of going 2+ innings as well. And with the semi-finals on the line tomorrow, i'd expect him to come in as early as possible.

Ziehl has been their friday guy most of the year, so I am assuming he goes tomorrow. He really fooled us first time we faced him, he went 8 innings and 0 ER on 4 hits. That said, he has a 4.65 ERA and gives up a hit per inning, so he is getable.

Offensively they can hit. As a team they are hitting .301, getting on base at a 40% clip and slugging .528. FWIW, those numbers are all very comparable to us, and I consider NCSU to have a very solid offense.

There will be a good amount of rain Saturday and Sunday . Expect long delays if we make it to the weekend .

They have one of the best closers in the country who did not pitch against us for whatver reason, Andrew Walters.

Yohandy Morales, 3rd base, going to be a first round pick. He's a stud and very much looks the part.

Otherwise, it's a pretty typical Miami baseball team. They have some power arms and a lot of guys who can hit homeruns. Blke Cyr is another name to watch. Pretty special talent for a fresh.

Man, what an awesome game and atmosphere. I'm not sure that ball Romero hit to RF has landed yet.

He looked like a guy that hit the ball far and he did not disappoint. That had to be the hardest hit ball I've seen live.

Also, I'm pretty sure Yohandy Morales hit a bomb that game too.

The Tommy White 3-homer game. Miami led 4-1. I remember it was another Willadsen game. He seems to have started a lot of important games in his career.

Yup. Tommy hit 3 and Soles had one as well.

Dom hit one against Pitt in the Semi's that rivaled Romero's.

I think Whit got the ball to start and Matt came in followed by Villaman. Those two were pretty much lights out for 6+

I think the Dom one was against Miami. I was at both of those games. Great times!

Felt like we were destined for another run to the CWS but the ncaa committee had other plans…

That's what it is, the just let the top seed and first round loser get an extra game so nobody is only playing one game

Expanding on your comments……
It makes the top seeds use pitchers….tasks bullpens even if they don't throw ones that throw often. It's fairer than not playing those games.

Per the box score, Pilolli did not homer versus Miami. He hit a blast against Pitt, around 1:00 in this video.

Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

Last season against Miami it was White three times and Soles once as far as homers. Somewhere else I wrote "starting" but Willadsen did not start that game. He came in during the second or third inning, if I recall correctly.

They already get the tiebreaker, how many advantages do they need?

THE MATCHUP: SERIES AGAINST MIAMI
Ninth-seeded NC State enters Thursday's game against fourth-seeded Miami with a 22-39 record against the Hurricanes. More notes from the series against Miami are listed below:

NC State is 6-1 against Miami in the ACC Baseball Championship.
The Wolfpack is 2-1 against the Hurricanes in ACC Tournament games played at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. NC State posted wins in 2013 and 2015, while the Canes recorded a victory in the most recent Durham matchup in 2016.
NC State clinched its pool this past season with a 9-6 victory over No. 5 nationally-ranked Miami in Charlotte.
Four of the seven matchups between NC State and Miami in the ACC Championship have been decided by a single run. The Wolfpack is 3-1 in those matchups.
Miami clinched the regular season series over the Wolfpack, snapping the Pack's 13-game winning streak to open the season. The Pack rallied in game three to avoid the road sweep, dominating the Canes 14-4 on March 12 to help head coach Elliott Avent capture career win No. 1,200.

Agreed. They need to play the meaningless game to make them use some pitching, even if it is lower in the pen and rotation. Not all teams do that. UVa threw a regular starter yesterday vs Ga Tech but they want a top 8 finish. Sometimes meaningless games have other repercussions, too.
