[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 271797, member: 2843"] Somewhere in neighborhood of 67 days until BYU and Opening Day. I do feel for these guys playing meaningful baseball games in February. On the other hand...as a fan, I'll be itching to see the season get going by then for sure. RE: ACC Tournament. Format - There are no byes (for high seeds) and no play-in (for low seeds). There are 4 pools of 3 teams each. The 4 winners from each pool advance to Saturday semi-finals. All 12 teams are guaranteed 2 games of "pool play". The possible outcomes of the 3 teams in each pool are: 1) 2-0; 1-1; 0-2 OR 2) 1-1; 1-1; 1-1. My assumption is the pool winner in the 2nd scenario is the team with the highest seed in the pool. Therefore, there is a significant advantage to finish in the top 4 in the regular season...meaning you'll be the top seed in your pool. Location - I'd like to know the process of selection on this once the ACC decided to pull out of NC. If minor league schedules were already in place requiring the minor league clubs to re-do their schedules to free up a full week in May, that could have really limited the number of bids. I agree that Louisville will have a huge advantage.
