For the 25th time in program history, the University of Miami has been selected to host one of 16 Regional sites for the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.
Miami (41-17) will be making its NCAA-record 42nd consecutive postseason appearance this week when play at the Coral Gables Regional begins Friday, May 30 at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field. Miami is one of just three ACC schools to host the Regional Round, joining Virginia and Florida State.
The 16 Regional Round sites, with host institutions and records are as follows: Miami (41-17, 24-6 ACC), Coral Gables, Fla.; Virginia (44-13, 22-8 ACC), Charlottesville, Va.; Florida State (43-15, 21-9 ACC), Tallahassee, Fla.; Florida (40-21, 21-9 SEC), Gainesville, Fla.; Indiana (42-13, 21-3 Big Ten), Bloomington, Ind.; Louisiana-Lafayette (53-7, 26-4 Sun Belt), Lafayette, La.; Oregon State (42-11, 23-6 Pac-12), Corvallis, Ore.; Vanderbilt (41-18, 17-13 SEC), Nashville, Tenn.; Ole Miss (41-18, 19-11 SEC), Oxford, Miss.; TCU (41-15, 17-7 Big 12), Fort Worth, Texas; Louisiana State (44-14-1, 17-11-1 SEC), Baton Rouge, La; Oklahoma State (45-15, 18-6 Big 12), Stillwater, Okla; Cal Poly (45-10, 19-5 Big West), San Luis Obispo, Calif; Rice (40-18, 23-7 C-USA), Houston, Texas; South Carolina (42-16, 18-3 SEC), Columbia, S.C. and Louisville (45-15, 19-5 The American), KY.
The last season Miami hosted a regional was 2012, when second-seeded UCF, third-seeded Missouri State and fourth-seeded Stony Brook visited Alex Rodriguez Park in early June. Stony Brook came away winners in the bracket before an eventual trip to Omaha, Neb., and a berth in the College World Series.
The Coral Gables Regional field, as well as the entire field of 64, will be announced Monday at 12 p.m. on ESPNU’s Division I Baseball Selection Show “The Road to Omaha.”

Btw, the title of this blog is one of the best Beatles songs. Paul McCartney is one of the most underrated musicians ever. John gets all the credit and it makes my head hurt.

Hosting Texas Tech, Columbia and Bethune Cookman in the regional sounds reasonable enough, although with this team one never knows...and Texas Tech is overall pretty tough. However, Texas Tech has been anything but great on the road, with a 40-18 overall record but 7-9 at away games and 2-5 at neutral sites. I'd say with decent play, this is a nice draw.

Birdman inactive for tonight's game. Bosh needs to play well tonight and REBOUND! I'm not feeling a Heat victory tonight, but we'll see.

Great start for Bosh.
Posted by: Canesteeler | May 26, 2014 at 08:58 PM
Yeah, Bosh is playing like the best SF in the NBA, lol. Nah, his D has been good too. With Birdman out, this is a Chris Bosh game. Let's see if James, Wade and Bosh can all hit 20.

I would be so mad if Wade did that pump fake sh*t on me.

Bosh follows me on Canespace.
