Below was the predicted finish by the Coaches, which looks relatively close to how things have panned out as far as the final four teams - the lone aside being Charlotte.
And of course Rice overcomes a lousy 4-11 start to league play to legitimize it by reaching the final for tomorrow.
PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH
1. Rice (5)
2. Florida Atlantic (4)
3. Southern Miss (3)
4. Old Dominion
5. Louisiana Tech
6. Charlotte
FIU
8. Marshall

This wasn't a good season by any stretch of the imagination.
I starting to wonder when is the last time we have won a big game vs a good team?
We always seem to come up a dollar short. Whether losing and opening round game to USF or LBS, unable to come up with big hits in games vs Florida in a regional, or how just how much Rice has owned us since we joined the conference.
We beat UNC in a game a few years ago but that was just to go on a blow a late lead in the next game.

It will be Rice vs Southern Miss for the Championship today at 2:00 PM.
For FAU to have any hope of obtaining a bid, Southern Miss will need to win it.

UNC is a Power 5 Conference member, Rice has a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP PEDIGREE, those are there advantages and a large reason why I keep trying to "prod" our admin into bringing the baseball AND softball facilities into the 21st century.
And with now not one but TWO MLB caliber baseball facilities in the County it frustrates me the way FAU (A STATE EDUCATIONAL FACILITY!) does NOT get local or State financial support for it's sports facilities but BILLIONAIRES DO!

I really don't want the state to fund a baseball facility for FAU because then they will need to fund baseball facilities for FSU, UF, UCF, FIU, UNF, UWF, FAMU, FGCU, FPU, NCF, & USF. No New Taxes!

Not fund it but how about a little help???Most of those football and baseball and basketball stadiums in the "older" Florida schools WERE built with tax dollars!fauowl said
