looks like woffor has a shot to make some noise but I doubt they can knock off SC at home. i predict they finish 2 or third iin that bracket

pretty surprising that CofC didn't get a bid. they had been ranked earlier in the year, and they made a super regional last year, so i am a little surprised that the committee left them out. That's not to say that Western didn't deserve it....i thought they should've taken both of them along with wofford as the automatic.

I think COC didn't get the bid because of their sked. I think WCU beat better teams early on.
Western deserved a bid, but I also think COC did too. I thought this was going to be the year the SoCon put in 3 teams, and I thought Elon was going to be one of them!
It was a crazy (post)season! Congrats to Wofford for winning the crown.

Glad the committee rewarded WCU's OOC schedule, though I figured CoC's super-regional appearance last year might have nudged it into their favor. 3 SoCon teams would have been great, but probably only a possibility if WCU & CoC both earned a few tourney wins before bowing out.

NCAA Blunder?
Posted May. 28, 2007 12:37 pm by Aaron Fitt Filed under: Division I Postseason In the brackets that have been released by the NCAA, Southern Conference teams Western Carolina and Wofford are both in the Chapel Hill regional. NCAA rules state that two teams from the same conference cannot be placed in the same regional, which leads me to believe that either the committee screwed up and put them together, or the brackets are wrong.
Perhaps Wofford is actually supposed to be at the Columbia, S.C. regional, and Jacksonville should be in Chapel Hill. We’ll see if Division I Baseball Committee chairman Larry Templeton can shed any light on this curious situation in the conference call that is about to begin.
EDIT: Templeton acknowledged the mistake to start off the conference call, and the bracket has been changed. Wofford will now head to South Carolina’s regional, and Jacksonville will go to North Carolina’s.
“During the NCAA selection show, we noticed that we had made a mistake and placed two teams from the same conference in the same regional, that being Wofford and Western Carolina,” Templeton said. “Hopefully we have been able to catch those schools in the last 30 minutes or so.”

We could. Easily. We just need to find four more wins in that group. One against Coastal (to split with them). Two against Western (we win the series 2-1). One against Wofford (win the series 2-1). Done.
We finished 32-29. The four game swing above would make us 36-25. And we could have done much better against weaker OOC teams like High Point (win 2/3 instead of 0/3), UNCW (win 1/2 instead of 0/2), A&T (win 3/3 instead of 2/3). There's another 4 game swing that would have made us 40-21 and a slam dunk for an at-large.
Then there are the conference series that we won but didn't sweep. App, Citadel, Georgia Southern, Furman, UNCG. Finish the job in two of those five series and now the record is 42-19, and that's probably a best-case scenario for this team.
More realistically, the talent on this team should have finished about 39-22, but it seems like they just weren't hungry enough, didn't want it bad enough. And I'm afraid that's what this year's team will be remembered for.

UNCC surprises NC state while wofford falls to the cocks. Woffords next game will be against State
ECU puts 2 up in the 8th to grap a 1 run lead. Close game but WCU falls in the end.
Congrats to both teams

I wouldn't call UNCC's win against NC State a surprise. NC State went up against on of the best pitcher in the nation... if not the best.
