USF Softball - NCAA Tournament

Part of the problem for us is geography. We always seem to get placed in FSU and Florida's region and they are always tough. In some years we get placed there despite our RPI suggesting that we should get a team that is ranked in the 8 to 16 range. That makes a huge difference, especially in women's sports where the top 6 or 7 teams seem to always be light-years ahead of the rest of the pack.

The remedy to that of course is to win enough OOC in the regular season to get to host a regional. This has been one of our most consistent programs over the years, so I really can't get down on Ken Erickson. I highly doubt the alternatives would be any better. 

Pretty ridiculous that men's golf travels all over for NCAA tourney and women's softball stays regionalized.

I'd prefer to go out of state for softball just to get out of going to tally or Gainesville unless of course if we are hosting but lately its only been fsu and uf that has been hosting in this state.

Kinda like when I see the WBB team in the same regional as UCONN. Dream of a Final Four is dead and we ALREADY played them 3 times that season. Can you let us TRY and be in the bracket of a different large mountain.  

Yes, I know we have never been eliminated from the tournament by UCONN. But always being in their bracket sucks.
