Postseason Buzz: How Tuesday's action impacted tourney picture • D1Baseball

It was a wild Tuesday to begin conference tournaments. So, which teams helped or hurt their postseason cases for hosts and at-large bids? We have the scoop.

BUBBLE WATCH​

— Coastal Carolina was one of the last four teams in the field in our latest projections on Monday. The Chanticleers did nothing to hurt their chances on Tuesday, beating Georgia State 5-1 at the Sun Belt tournament behind strong pitching from Riley Eikhoff and clutch hitting from Dean Mihos. CCU’s RPI went up two spots to 33 with the win over the Panthers. Next up is a date with Southern Miss on Wednesday afternoon. A win here would be massive for Gary Gilmore’s club.

Southern Miss went 2 - 7 vs these 3 teams.

This is my Spring prediction. Hall has shored up the secondary with some good players. He has also brought in a few OLmen who may be able to block and protect. I believe some of the younger players are getting better. Both coordinators could be the best we have had in a good while. I am not worried about the quarterbacks and running backs. We will be fine there. The key is to get everyone healthy for this Fall.

Tennessee remains No. 1 in the D1Baseball Top 25 rankings for the third consecutive week after sweeping South Carolina to win a share of the SEC regular-season title with Kentucky, which holds steady at No. 2 after taking a series from Vanderbilt.

Clemson and Texas A&M each move up a spot to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively. The Aggies took two of three from Arkansas to end the regular season, knocking the Hogs down two spots to No. 5 in the rankings. Oregon State and North Carolina hold their ground in the next two spots.

Oklahoma jumps four spots to No. 8 after winning the Big 12 regular-season title by four games. American Athletic Conference champion East Carolina also jumps four spots to No. 9, and Florida State remains No. 10.

NC State makes one of the week’s biggest moves, leaping five spots to No. 12 after sweeping Wake Forest, which tumbles from No. 8 to No. 22. UC Santa Barbara makes an even bigger move, vaulting nine spots to No. 13 after sweeping Cal State Northridge and clinching at least a share of the Big West title.

Southern Miss enters the rankings at No. 25 after taking a series from Texas State, giving the Golden Eagles nine wins in their last 10 games en route to a second-place finish in the Sun Belt. USM replaces South Carolina, which drops out after getting swept at Tennessee.

D1Baseball editors and national writers determine the Top 25 rankings. Records are through games of May 18.

The Golden Eagles will play on Wednesday at 12.30 p.m. Who they will play is yet to be determined. They will face highest ranked of the teams who won their play-in gane on Tuesday which is any team 7-9 in the standings which could be Coastal Carolina, South Alabama, or ODU.

Was Paetow injured? Love Faust and senior day and all, but he’s had 5 ABs this year and has only played a few innings in the outfield . Really hesitate to criticize this staff after having such a great season with a heavily retooled team. But just kinda would like to hear an explanation for that head scratcher.

D1 Digest: How Saturday’s action impacted postseason picture​

Sun Belt​

– Louisiana and Southern Miss finished strong, as the Cajuns won their finale against South Alabama13-3 and the Golden Eagles topped Texas State 5-3. Both teams are locks for at-large bids with RPIs in the mid-30s, occupying the top two spots in the Sun Belt standings.

– James Madison and Troy split a Saturday doubleheader, giving the Dukes the series win on the road. JMU is now clearly ahead of Troy in the pecking order, as the Dukes are No. 45 in the RPI while the Trojans are No. 53, and the Dukes have the head-to-head series win on the road, which offsets Troy’s one-game edge in the standings (18-12 vs. 17-13). The Trojans are in a precarious spot with that RPI coupled with a poor finish to the regular season; they need to win some games in the conference tournament.


– Coastal Carolina did what it needed to do this weekend, completing a road sweep of Marshall with a 9-5 win Saturday. The Chanticleers are still just seventh in the standings, but they are a good bet for an at-large bid with a No. 35 RPI and a 16-14 SBC record.
