5 Pac-12 takeaways from shocking NCAA Baseball Tournament reveal

 

First reaction: What?!?

 

Second reaction: Yikes.

 

Third reaction: I guess the Pac-12 Tournament matters a whole lot more than we thought.

 

The NCAA Baseball Tournament reveal on Monday was nothing short of a shocker for Pac-12 baseball fans, particularly the fans of Arizona, Arizona State and USC.

 

Arizona, which went just 12-18 in Pac-12 play yet advanced to the conference tournament title game with a 14-4, run-rule victory over Stanford on Friday, is in.

 

Arizona State, which went 16-13 in conference play and swept Arizona this season, is out.

 

USC, which finished with a better record than either — 34-23-1 overall and 17-13 in league play — is also out.

 

All three of those facts were stunning in and of themselves. Combined, and added to the fact that other west coast hopefuls like UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara were left out, makes one wonder if anyone on the selection committee lives west of the Mississippi.

 

Those are the big stunners.

 

 

Stanford getting the No. 8 overall seed despite a loss in the conference title game and a No. 15 RPI and Oregon getting a 2-seed while Washington got a 3 — those are smaller surprises.

 

Overall, it was one weird reveal.

 

Here’s a look at my 5 takeaways as 5 Pac-12 teams prepare for Regionals starting Friday …

The NCAA Tournament reveal on Monday was surprising for the Pac-12 in more ways than one. Bubble squad Arizona is in, Arizona State and USC are out.
