Muda69 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/2024/05/30/indiana-state-baseball-midwest-power-ncaa-regionals-lexington-2024-luke-hayden-luis-hernandez/73862918007/ Quote The landscape of college sports has changed drastically since 2014. While college football and basketball have perhaps been most prominently affected by the widely controversial transfer portal, baseball is no exception. However, Indiana State baseball has persevered. In fact, despite not being in a Power 5 conference, the Sycamores have become a powerhouse of their own. Indiana State has made the NCAA tournament four times since the portal's creation in October 2018. Last season, the Sycamores advanced beyond regional for first time since 1986, and their 45 wins were the most for the program since that same year. Mitch Hannahs was in the blue and white for both historic runs. He was a senior on the 1989 squad, helping Indiana State make the NCAA tournament in three of his four seasons. As a coach, Hannahs has guided the Sycamores to four NCAA regional bids, including three in the past five seasons. ISU finished the season with an RPI at No. 10 but was not chosen as a regional host. They Sycamores will head to Lexington, Ky., where they open NCAA play against Illinois on Friday. .... They seems like the best to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree...they went 1-1 against IU, but have a better record, higher ranking and seeded higher in the NCAA tournament. The beat Purdue. They went 2-2 against Evansville, but also have a better record, higher ranking, and better seed in the NCAA tournament. Great to see Indiana State, IU and Evansville all representing in the NCAA baseball tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boilernation Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Pretty wild that Evansville went down south and took the East Carolina Regional. Next up is Tennessee in Knoxville for the Super-Regional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they got East Carolina's attention after beating them in the opener. The Pirates worked their way through the losers bracket and then pummeled Evansville last night. That's impressive of Evansville to bounce back and take the winner take all rematch today. That's not an easy atmosphere to go on the road and win in.

Impartial_Observer Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Bat and ball sports, if you win a championship, the ball bounced your way a time or two, congrats to UE. Good luck in Knoxville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again they bounce back get a must needed W. Today didn't go there way, but they could have just played the National Champion in Knoxville, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough having to hear THAT song after every run they scored; not just in this series with Evansville, but also with IU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
