BU will open up against No. 3 seed LMU (32-23) on Friday, May 31 at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN3 at UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Stadium. Depending on the result of the first game, the Bears will face either the winner of loser of the No. 1 UCLA vs. No. 4 Omaha matchup in game two on Saturday, June 1.

We'll go 1-2 or 2-2 in this regional.
I hate to say, OKC may foreshadow what happens in the regional. The Bears did not make many mistakes, but they took advantage of mistakes. Problem is, once they played really good teams (like Tech or OSU) they got into trouble. The Bears were an aggregate 1-5 against Tech and OSU, with one close win, two close losses, and three really embarrassing losses.BUGWBBear said:Oldbear83 said:

If they'd only take the bats off their shoulders, they'd get further. OKC was pathetic!
Go look up the last time this season UCLA lost two games out of three, let alone two games back to back.jumpinjoe said:
So technically...
A. If UCLA were to lose to Omaha, we might need to beat them just once, or
B. If UCLA laid an egg and got beat twice by the #4 seed and then eliminated by the #3 seed, we wouldn't need to play them at all.
Nope, I just have paid attention and the Bears have played at their weight basically. They should beat anyone not in the top 12, but they don't fare well against really top-level teams.jumpinjoe said:

Enjoy being 50 pounds lighter and relive your youth.
Sounds like if it were up to you, they should give UCLA a pass to the super regionals.
They do, but he's injuredtxrangers said:

I have a better chance of waking up 50 pounds lighter and 20 years younger tomorrow morning, than we have of UCLA tanking in their own yard this weekend.

We're down by 5 and UCLA just executed to double play to end our inning.Bear8084 said:Oldbear83 said:Go look up the last time this season UCLA lost two games out of three, let alone two games back to back.jumpinjoe said:

Regionals are crazy sometimes. Just got to beat then once.
UCLA hasn't tanked unless we beat them. B7 we're down by 5, you tell me how this plays out.jumpinjoe said:Oldbear83 said:Go look up the last time this season UCLA lost two games out of three, let alone two games back to back.jumpinjoe said:

Well, well, well... how does it feel to wake up 50 pounds lighter and 20 years younger for UCLA tanking to LMU?
Looks like Option A...We need to only beat UCLA once.
