I believe that this is the first sweep in Big 12 play this season.

I believe that this is the first sweep in Big 12 play this season.

That is correct. At the other end, Okie State swept UC in Stillwater early in the B12 season, the only time the Bearcats have suffered that this year.

Final: UC 15, Oral Roberts 4. Not much to say about this one. The Cats rapped out 20 hits, with ORU managing only 5. The Golden Eagles are an above average team in RPI, but down in the 140's. The Bearcats just outclassed them.

Three games remain in the regular season, starting Thursday vs TTU @ home. The Cats are 15-12, in 7th place. The Red Raiders have struggled. The Horned Frogs are 16-11 & will finish up @ WV, who have a shot at the #1 seed.

The top 6 seeds gain a double-bye in the B12 tourney, this year at Surprise, AZ. That is the spring training home of 2 teams whose names escape me.

D1baseball.com just moved UC back into the Top 25 (#25). Three other B12 teams are ahead of the Bearcats (#9 WV, #14 KU, #21 OSU). In the RPI, the Cats are #21, with WV #18, KU #22, & OSU #27.

If the Bearcats take care of business this week, it's very likely that they'll receive a #2 seed in one of the 4-team regional pods. There's an outside chance at hosting a pod, but I wouldn't expect that. The committee would need to view UC as a Top 16 team.
