WarTiger 3,901 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Perhaps the SEC tournament cost us a little bit. Auburn will play: ETSU. FRIDAY 3:30 PM. Also in Auburn's bracket Notre Dame and Cal. Fri: 1 PM Auburn bracket matches up with the 10 seed OKLAHOMA. They will host North Dakota State, Arkansas will play Tulsa there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutzcammed 469 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 If we Make it that far. Oklahoma will be a tough out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,901 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Top 8 seed is good and means if we keep winning we continue to host until we go to Oklahoma City. That's huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBAU83 212 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 YEAH WE ARE TOP 8, but I think we got dropped pretty low considering we had a 3 RPI. I was expecting 4 or 5 seed. Don' like getting matched to Okie either. But not sue about some of these seedings like Minnesota not hosting but Utah is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBAU83 212 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I know we all have opinions on how they should seed and I know I don't know all they looked at, but it sure seems to me that they did some matchups to try and not get too many teams from one conference to Oklahoma (if seeds hold) and some of the matchups to make it interesting in the super regionals (AU-Okie, LSU-FSU etc..) But hey, like Coach said, 10 more wins to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Bama will have a tough time with Minnesota. I think we made out fairly well in our region, but hate playing OU in Supers. At least we are home. 8 of the hosts are SEC teams, although 2 separate Supers could be all SEC which would eliminate 1 before OKC. We could have more of those if there upsets. Also intriguing is the LSU region. That UL team is very good and have gotten hot of late. McNeese is no slouch either. I think UL takes it.

OlderWhiskey 953 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm sure Tennessee is thrilled with their possible rematch with aTm in the supers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,671 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Potentially playing Okie in the supers terrifies me. Any team with a elite pitcher does quite frankly. We could not hit paige parker last year with a much better lineup I am even less confident this year. Facing a elite ace will be the death of us if we lose. War Eagle!!! Heres to hoping the bats get hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Let's beat ETSU, then ND or Cal, then we can worry about Okie. I don't have as much confidence in this team as I did last year's squad. But we're here in the tourney where anything can happen. These girls have post season experience and confidence. Let's go girls! War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Playing at home....that is a great advantage....and there are no easy brackets anyway far as I can tell. Considering the number of SEC teams it was not easy to disperse them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTiger 3,901 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm only a little surprised Minnesota didn't at least get a regional site. Unfortunately, in spite of their record, they didn't play and beat very many top teams. Their resume matters and it cost them. Hopefully it will motivate them to play lights out in turdville and take that regional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgr4lfe 220 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 That is kind of what I figured and considering they are in the Big10, not exactly softball powerhouses. I just haven't taken the time to review their schedule. Looks like they beat Maryland twice and Texas twice in Austin, ND twice and NC St twice in Raleigh, NC, LSU once @ LSU, LOST 2 to UW in Seattle, beat Oregon St in Corvalis, and curb stomped Cal @ Cal. That was about the extent of Power conference games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 So they whipped up on teams in our regional with a light strength of schedule. Works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
