I think SU is only 2 games out of first place.

Who's not eligible for the tournament?

 

[East Tex Tiger]

Will all the teams be invited to the tournament?

 

[Jafus (Thinker)]

C-LeB28 & East Tex Tiger,

Just like basketball, UAPB is not eligible for the SWAC Baseball Tournament, while SU and MVSU are not eligible to earn the conference's automatic bid the NCAA Tournament.

 

[JayRob]

So why would su and Valley be allowed to play in a tournament they're not eligible for....again?Too bad PB's not eligible cause they're having one of their best seasons in a long time.

I agree, SU nor Valley should go to the tourney....same as in basketball. However, the conference set a (terrible) precedence last year when every team was invited to the basketball tourney.

With 2 teams not eligible for the auto bid from the west, do you think the SWAC should eliminate the East/West Division and play everyone like in basketball?

 

[JayRob]

No, just give the highest seeded team(s) a bye.
I don't think the travelling budgets of some schools would be able to handle it for baseball because it brings in little revenue.
I wouldn't mind seeing a preseason SWAC tournament pitting the East teams against the West with each team playing at least two games apiece.

I don't. I like the way some of the East teams are scheduling early in the season with big name teams which pay for our travel. Since the season has been shortened, the SWAC only has 2-3 weekends before conference starts. I like our schools playing OOC games and winning a few. By doing so, we strengthen our conference RPI. And we need to stop scheduling D2 games, regardless of travel distance and/or competiveness.

Great that Southern is turning things around...3 and whatever they were is not SU baseball. Any other team in the SWAC can do that in my opinion, except for SU because of their history.

Yep!

I would love to get SU in the tournament..... I don't think we have faced SU in a LONG time.... last time I remember was when Franco Blackburn played for SU and he brought his SU squad to the NW HSV YMCA to talk to the kids.
