BatCats Receive 3-Seed in the Fullerton Regional

PrintSome how, some way, the BatCats made it into the field of 64. Not only did they make the tournament, but I don't even hate their draw, as far as getting out of the Fullerton Regional goes. They play 2-seed Stanford (32-20) in the first round, and the winner of the Fullerton (40-15) / Illinois (28-25) game.
I don't see either of those match-ups as unwinnable. I would not be surprised to see the Cats win the regional, but it would be equally unsurprising to me if they went two-and-barbecue either. This season has been so wildly inconsistent that nothing they do (or don't do) shocks me anymore. Hit the jump for a poll on how the BatCats will do, as well as the regional seedings for both the Fullerton Regional and the Chapel Hill Regional, the winner of which our regional champion will play.
Fullerton Regional (Winner vs. Chapel Hill Regional)
1. Cal State Fullerton (40-15)
2. Stanford (32-20)
3. Kansas State (36-23)
4. Illinois (28-25)
Chapel Hill Regional (Winner vs. Fullerton Regional)
1. North Carolina (45-14)
2. Florida International (40-18-1)
3. James Madison (40-17)
4. Maine (32-22)

I didn't see a CWS championship as an option in the poll
Or is my eye sight just that bad…
Haha. We’ll see where there season ends up, because I have a baseball hypothetical poll question I would be curious to see what the general consensus is.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Yeah, the only question I was addressing was how would they do in this particular regional.
The regional across from us (Chapel Hill) looks pretty strong, so I don’t think we’re getting past the winner of that, even if we somehow scrape out of this regional.
Innovators look at the same thing as everyone else, yet see something different.

yea, I was j/k anyway
Which is why I voted for the 1 win…but stranger things have happened. My little brother informs me KSU is one of six BCS teams to have their team make a bowl, NCAA tourney appearance, and baseball post season play. I’m guessing UNC’s another. How about FSU, did they make the baseball post season? Seems like they’re usually good.

i think stanford is another
And OU and Texas A&M. So at least half of those 6 are from the “remaining” big 12…

OU and Stanford didn't make the NCAA basketball tournament.

What if you add in having the women's bball team make their Tourney?
UConn, A&M are still part of the group, but I don’t know about Free Shoes U, UGA or Dooks-little-sisters.

Ha ha ha
Interesting. I hope the Cats can do all four again next year. What else is there? Volleyball tourney? Softball tourney (which KSU can’t enter)?

And I'd argue we have a decent shot at the volleyball tourney next year

i tend to agree
I really like the regional we got, but since it is one of the “second-line” regionals, if we make it out the super regional oppenent will be much better. Though we have done fairly well against teams from the Carolinas (if I remember correctly from the beginning of the year), and we hung tough with a really good Aggie team. So what I’m saying is…there’s a chance
