Taryne?
Probably. Kenzie would have been but injuries and the BS ump calls led to her never reaching her potential.

There's an excellent chance (1) Oklahoma will play (2) UCLA or (3) Alabama in the loser's bracket tomorrow. Who had that on their bingo card?

I think we beat FSU and probably James Madison to make it to the final four and then lose to the UCLA/Alabama winner. If it's Alabama again, we have to learn to lay off that rise ball (easier said than done).

I thought the UofA/FSU winner plays the loser of the Alabama/UCLA game.

The bracket shows the winner of our game gets the loser of Ok St/James Madison.

This is correct. If we win the first one tomorrow against FSU, we flip to play from the top half of the bracket.

I feel like this is their tournament win. Love the Cats, but JMU is fun to watch. Unless we meet up with them.

This might be James Madison's first World Series appearance, but they have been a good program for a while. They came to Tucson 5 years ago and beat the Cats in both games they played.

Yes, I question the seeding more than marvel at “Cinderella”.
