Auburn softball’s place in D1Softball’s Field of 64 ahead of Alabama series

The Tigers are in a good spot for postseason play now, but a series win at Alabama would do wonders for their resume.

Auburn softball has played very well over the last two weeks.

The No. 19 Tigers ended the series at No. 13 Florida by knocking off the Gators in the series finale, 7-0. Since then, they have won four of their last five games, which includes a series win over No. 15 LSU.

The recent success of Auburn softball has caught the attention of the experts at D1Softball, as they have recently listed the Tigers as a No. 2 seed in the latest Field of 64 projection.

According to the latest projection, Auburn will be heading to the Sunshine State to compete in the Tallahassee Regional hosted by Florida State, which is predicted to be the No. 4 overall seed. Charlotte and Princeton are also projected to participate in the Tallahassee Regional.

Auburn is currently No. 24 in the latest Ratings Power Index with a 33-13 record. Their resume is respectable as they hold a 24-3 record against nonconference teams, and are 4-9 against teams ranked in the top 25 of the RPI.

Auburn has a chance to increase their playoff this weekend as they travel to No. 14 Alabama for a three-game set. Auburn is 4-5 in true away games, and the Crimson Tide is currently No. 11 in the RPI. A series win in Tuscaloosa would surely help Auburn in getting a better spot in the postseason.

Auburn baseball’s place in D1Baseball’s Field of 64 ahead of Mississippi State series

The Tigers have work to do in order to boost their postseason chances.

The calendar is making its’ final turn in the month of April, and Auburn Baseball has work to do in order to finish the season strong.

In D1Baseball’s latest Field of 64 projection, Auburn is listed as one of the first five out at the halfway point of SEC play, joining Xavier, Rutgers, Long Beach State, and Louisiana.

Since winning a three-game series over Georgia March 24-26, Auburn has dropped three straight SEC series to Florida, Texas A&M, and Alabama. The recent rough patch has led the Tigers to a 5-10 record against SEC teams ahead of this weekend’s series with Mississippi State at Plainsman Park. Auburn has dropped four of the first five series of the SEC slate.

One small step that the Tigers could make in order to climb back into postseason contention is winning the series this weekend at home against Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are listed among the last five teams to get into the NCAA Tournament according to D1Baseball, which has them listed as a No. 3 seed in the Winston-Salem Regional hosted by Wake Forest. Mississippi State is 22-15 overall and is 5-10 within the SEC.

According to the latest projection, six SEC teams are slated to host regionals, led by the projected top seed, LSU.

Auburn will look to finish the SEC slate strong, as they are set to compete with Mississippi State, South Carolina, LSU, Ole Miss, and Missouri before the SEC Tournament that is set to get underway on May 23.

Watch: Gibbs Floater Saves Notre Dame at Boston College

relive a memorable come-from-behind victory at Boston College courtesy of a TJ Gibbs floater with just .1 seconds remaining

Notre Dame is over .500 in ACC play for the first time all season after a less than stellar but still, by the skin of their teeth, victorious night at Boston College Wednesday.

The game story will be posted here shortly but for the moment, take a quick ten or so seconds and relive a memorable come-from-behind victory at Boston College courtesy of a TJ Gibbs floater with just .1 second remaining.

Style points might not have been anywhere to be found for Notre Dame in getting by now 13-16 Boston College but hey, a win is a win and that’s infinitely more important than anything else right now in regards to Notre Dame’s very slight NCAA Tournament chances.

USA TODAY Still Not Putting Notre Dame’s Tournament Hopes on Life Support

Seven conference games remain for Notre Dame before the ACC Tournament and Saturday’s against Duke is the final before the stretch run that will see only Florida State as a likely NCAA Tournament team.

Despite the heartbreaking 50-49 loss at Virginia Tuesday night that set Notre Dame back to 6-7 in ACC play, not everyone has the Fighting Irish’s NCAA Tournament chances being dead just yet.

The USA TODAY released their latest “bracketology” projection and no, Notre Dame is not in the dance yet again, but they’re still in the “being considered” category and not in the “on life support” category that the outlet sorts bubble teams by.

Duke, Florida State, Louisville and Virginia are the four ACC teams that are represented in this latest projection as making the dance.

It has been a year of close calls for Notre Dame as they’ve nearly gotten wins against three of those schools listed above but fell just short in each case.  The Fighting Irish get their chance at Duke on Saturday night, where a win would mean a ton.

Seven conference games remain for Notre Dame before the ACC Tournament and Saturday’s against Duke is the final before the stretch run that will see only Florida State as a likely NCAA Tournament team.

As rough as it has been and as frustrating as things have sometimes gone, there’s still a chance this team ends up somehow dancing which would be quite the feather in Mike Brey’s cap.
