Being we are either a 3 or 4 seed, today’s game is primarily only for bragging rights for both teams. BU has to win Big 12 tournament to get into regionals. OSU should still be a regional host due to RPI and SOS but Super Regional selection is gone. Big 12 Conference Tournament begins on Wednesday.
OSU probably starts Martin and goes with multiple relievers today but please stay away from our lefties. I keep hearing that in the past OSU had better record playing regionals and super regionals away than at home. Maybe this slump will motivate us to play up to our abilities and make it to Omaha!
Our pitching for post season with Campbell, Osmond, Mederos, and current reliever’s with our batting, fielding, and HR ability has the elements needed to get to Omaha. Our main weakness is coaching decisions especially when to change pitchers to avoid these grand slams and walk off HR.
Conference Championship at Globe Life will most likely have significantly more Texas Schools fans at the games whereas at Bricktown there were significantly more OSU and OU fans at games. My guess is one of the Texas Schools will win this year but Globe Life will not have a College Atmosphere and will have small crowds and it will be back in Bricktown very soon.
