Does not appear that we can finish in top 8 for tournament.  But how does it work?  Little Rock is leaving conference after this year.  So does that make them ineligible for tournament play so we sort of sneak in the hard way?  I think some conferences work that way.  Not sure about the OVC.

I was so dissapointed that we STILL didnt make the tournament. It feels like we never will. The team had some bright spots, but pitching depth remains the biggest issue. While every single club has this problem its an even bigger problem here than elsewhere as we struggle to field pitchers who can even compete at this level for full 3 game series + 1 midweek game.
