To add to this, home plate said he went around and never used his 1st/3rd base ump to check.  Ended up being a strike 3.

The pitching gets all the focus (and it has been bad mid-week), but the defense has been a problem all season.   I like the chances of the pitching improving in-season than I do the defense.   As just one example, Carey's error last night was a killer.   The defense is mediocre at best, and there are a couple of flat-out liabilities out there.

Not a huge change from last week, other than Ohio St moving into Q2. Kind of surprised Maryland hasn't lost more ground with back to back series losses.
 
Big week upcoming with 4 Top-100 RPI road games, although if we win the series at Rutgers, they probably fall to Q2. 
 
Iowa has solidly placed itself in Q4. Definitely didn't have that on my bingo card back in February. Indiana made a huge surge, though, and they're approaching Q2, as did Nicholls.
 

Not sure on Ogels... but Anderson does a lot of games around the country and does multiple conferences.  Go back through his high knees twitter account and it's a new conference every night really.

Yep, I will be.  We don't know if he'll actually play but I'll be there.  Supposed to be a beautiful day.
 
If we could avoid dropping points from commanding positions we'd be alone in first place in the Supporters Shield race right now, it's disgusting.

Would have been cool, but that’s not going to happen since we’re winning our first NCAA game in 2025 before he graduates.  BUT, first Sweet 16 he maybe can be a part of!

I was always under the assumption that this was to compliment Mast.  Especially with losing Allick, Keita, and Diop.

Hold onto your butts.  This will probably set off a domino effect.

Sports Center Top 10!
 

How could you not want him back!?!?  He IS Him!

After seeing what Fred’s done with the portal and NIL the past two years, you can’t help but be super optimistic when you hear this.
 
Even with all the departures 

Yeah it sucks to get old🤨

And now it's just considered "trespassing" to sit in the basketball offices, and "Class I Misdemeanor" for running around the court from the police, and "creepy" to sit with the cheerleaders.
