Hope that they bring their A-game and establish an upset.Hopefully they can get by their AA pitcher, Rochard (19-3), who struck out 19 Pitt batters in a 7 inning game! Just never know.

Many teams around the country, played no ranked teams in nonconference play, including some who are highly ranked. Not many teams have the courage to step out of conference and play Alabama. LSU, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee.If my count is correct, we played 11 games against ranked teams this year. We went 2-9. Not exactly stellar, and the 2 wins came against the 2 lowest ranked of the top 25 teams we played. We got close in a few games with the real powerhouses, but it's softball, not horseshoes or hand grenades. Came up just short of making it through the gauntlet without getting run-ruled before the Sooners clobbered us.

Even LU's Quiz Bowl team, "the varsity sport of the mind," finished 14th in the country in 2015, beating Michigan, Ohio State, and South Carolina at Nationals.
