BC did make the NCAA tournament last season and played in a Regional Final. Holy Cross hasn't won two games in a single NCAA Tournament since 1963. If BC had played the Holy Cross game last season (it was PPD) it would have hurt their end of season #22 RPI and made them a weaker NCAA seed. Dude you want BC to compete for National Champs. They had 1 good year chill out. They don't even charge for baseball games. The expectation in the ACC is to compete for National Championships...

I'm rather confident that BC isn't any threat to supplant Holy Cross as the last/only Northeastern (not just NE) university to win the CWS.
If the Eagles wanted to win it all in something, men's lacrosse (they dropped it) was a better choice than baseball.

Not sure what that has to do with them being consistent national contenders. Wake Forest made the national championship series this past season and lost a winner take all game 2-0 in eleven innings. The conference is consistently in the hunt for the national title sending multiple of teams to Omaha nearly every season. Would you like to share with everyone the last time a current Patriot League team even made Omaha or played in the national final?

They were also runners up in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023.

Is your reading comprehension really that poor? The baseball program isn't great but making the NCAA tournament gives them a better shot than not being in it. They even were a game away from Omaha a few years ago.

Good to see you agreeing that Holy Cross should drop baseball and fund the lacrosse program better since they have a legit chance in the Patriot League to compete for a National Title in that sport over baseball.

I don't know how to feel about HC baseball. To compete it needs more support.

Still does almost nothing. BC played 57 games last year. BC did make the NCAA tournament last season and played in a Regional Final. Holy Cross hasn't won two games in a single NCAA Tournament since 1963. If BC had played the Holy Cross game last season (it was PPD) it would have hurt their end of season #22 RPI and made them a weaker NCAA seed. Cite your math.

The effect of one game in a 54 game schedule, assuming BC won it, would have been minimal on the RPI. And the RPI, as you know, is not the major factor in seeding for any sport.

On the most recent Sader Stories with Kevin Gehl, coach Kehovac said that the Hawaii trip is not costing (net basis) any more than a weekend bus trip to the mid south because of the financial incentives that Hawaii offered us. Good job putting this together and not blowing up the budget

Let's hope we are competitive on that Hawaii trip. Hawaii was pretty decent last year (29-20, 18-12).

Cite your math. www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2023/team-sheet?team=Boston-CollegeBC's nonconference strength of schedule last season was 151st in the nation. A game against HC would have made that worse and the lowest RPI team in the ACC that they played was 67th in the country. Holy Cross finished 285th in the country in RPI with a 13-28 record against quadrant 4 teams. They went 1-4 against Q2 and 2-3 against Q3. They didn't;t play a single game against a Q1 squad last season.

Good catch (pun intended), forgot about that. They'd have been Big East until 2004 and I guess independent before 1991. And FSU wasn't in the ACC until early 90's as well. And while they're certainly not mediocre programs by any stretch, you'd think private universities like Wake Forest and Duke would be much better baseball schools than they have been historically.

Wrong again. Before posting things like this, you should do some basic research if you don’t know the facts. Miami was in fact an independent when they won their first two titles, and then they were in the Big East when they won their second two titles.. They first joined the ACC in 2004. to repeat, since you apparently didn’t read it accurately, the ACC in total has exactly one NCAA championship in the last 60 years.

Happens when I am typing on my phone during a game. Miami never played in the Big East for baseball so you are WRONG yet again.

Really should look these things up before using caps to tell someone else they're wrong. A quick search of Miami's site would have saved you some embarrassment.
Miami played in the Big East from '91-'03
