NCAA chair @SeminoleAlford on why Mississippi State hosted over Arkansas:
“They (Miss St) had a very strong conference schedule”
Miss State: 12th SOS
4-6 in SEC series (1-1 SEC Tourney)
Arkansas: 8th SOS
7-3 in SEC series (3-1 SEC Tourney)
@CieloGrande@SALES_720@MattBrownEP But yes, if another sport goes, it’s likely a sport where there are both men’s and women’s version. golf is the east pick. However, I don’t think Tyson lets that happen, plus women’s gold is extremely tied into the LPGA event here, whereas tennis really didn’t have community ties
Things college baseball teams have to do to be ranked top 10 in the country in February:
-LSU: exist
-Arkansas: not lose every game
-Florida: exist
-UCLA: play midmajors and only lose by less than 5 runs
-Tennessee: Not allowed. Start the season 30-0
@BigBenMuse@ArkansasQuant The issue is Bud Walton is not current set up to host these type of events quickly. There is one truck tunnel which drastically limits turnover time.
@RealCPW @ByMattJones@HunterYurachek There needed to be a scoreboard on that side so that the deep RF line seats/mackey landing people could see, but this is.. oof
