I know that Augie got a decent draw.  If they can get by Luther in the first round, they would then play the loser of Webster/Carthage in the second round (which I'm assuming and hoping will be Webster).  However, this is the NCAA tournament, all 6 teams are good teams and anyone can beat anyone on a given day.  The first two rounds will be huge though because it would be tough to come through the loser's bracket in this tournament.

I think Augie got a great draw. I am not sure that Luther is a typical #1 seed and thought they desreved it, but were not as strong as some of the other teams in the Central. Augie has a great chance to be 2-0 and facing the Carthage/IWU(hopefully) winner for the right to go to the final.

Augie would actually play the loser of Carthage/Wash U. in the 2nd round, not Webster.  That is a little tougher of a matchup, but still a good draw.

Agreed.  And, although you covered yourself with the word "would", don't count any chickens prior to them hatching!!  ;D

Go Red Men.

In no way am I assuming that Augie is going to beat Luther.  I was just correcting my previous statement.

Looking at the Central Region bracket it appears that the NCAA did its best to avoid pitting CCIW teams head-to-head in round 1.

Does this happen in other regions as well... I would guess they do their best to set it up that way like they do in March Madness.

In both basketball and football they specifically do not match conference foes against each other in round one, so I'd assume the same holds for baseball.  In basketball this year they had to reschedule a first round game because the selection committee 'didn't know' two teams were both ASC (really gives you faith in them, eh?).

That makes it tough to assign accurate seeds when three of the teams cannot play each other. I thought WashU  should have been a #2 seed, but based on CCIW teams needing to avoid each other, the #4 (or #3 for that matter... no difference in a 6 teamer) makes sense.

Just read the kenosha news. The article primarily talked about how Carthage is going to rely on their pitching and defense, and primarily talked about the play of Husing, Livek, and Krepline. I can't remember exact stats, but I think these are pretty close: Husing: 7-3, 2.59 ERA. Livek: 7-1, 1. 92 ERA, Krepline: 6-1, 2.59 ERA. Again, these may not be exact, but I'm positive they are close and might be right on. Essentially, the article stated that Carthage knew they had their ace in Jacob Husing before the season started and that he was something special. Now, they have 3 aces. Augie stated in the article they're not sure who's getting the nod tonight. They may change it up, or go with Husing like they have in the first game like they've done all year. He went on to say it doesn't really matter who they start, if you look at the stats they're pretty much identical.  I thought for sure Husing would get the nod tonight, now who knows!

Is the tournament schedule on a web site somewhere.  What happens after regionals?  Does each regional winner advance to a ?? sectional??
thanks

Football2007: There are 8 regionals. The winner of each advances to the World Series, which is May 25-29 and held in Grand Chute, Wisconsin. Just go to D3Baseball.com for a complete regional schedule

Wow, IWU not going with their ace in the first game.  Interesting.
