Golden: Can the Fighting Garridos make it to the NCAA baseball tourney?
Posted April 26th, 2016
In today’s Golden’s Nuggets, Cedric touches on a Bevo-related item on the Fighting Augie Garridos’ chances to reach the NCAA baseball tournament. Here’s what we had to say:
“Last week we discussed (on his podcast with Kirk Bohls) with Texas beat writer Ryan Autullo the possibility of UT baseball making it to the NCAA tournament despite having a sub-.500 record. Well, the Horns just took two of three from No. 10 Texas Tech in Lubbock, moving them to 9-6, tied with Oklahoma State for third place in the Big 12. The two meet at the Disch for a three-game set starting Friday.
Texas sits at 19-21 overall, which gives the Fighting Garridos little wiggle room to get into the NCAAs, especially with that ghastly 116 RPI.
A conference title or a Big 12 tournament title is seemingly the team’s only route to the postseason. The Horns have finally hit a groove, but it may be too late. Texas is cutting this pretty close. To expect perfection in the last 12 regular-season games and the conference tournament — that’s just plain unrealistic.”
