CB360 Top-50 Weekend Scoreboard (March 4–7)

Pete LaFleur — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 19:22:37 +0000

www.simplesharebuttons.com

With the Big Ten on the verge of its delayed start to the 2021 season, most of the Top-50 teams in the CB360 Composite National Rankings (all but #39 West Virginia) are scheduled to be in action during the first weekend of March – including 19 that will be facing fellow Top-50 opponents at some point over the next few days. Several Top-50 teams did a good job of quickly setting up replacement series, after their initial opponents had to take a Covid pause (see below).

>> Scroll down for full CB360 Top-50 weekend scoreboard, along with info. for other conference favorites. As usual, this page will be expanded and updated throughout the weekend.

… Here are the CB360 Weekend Scoreboard pages for the opening two weeks of the 2021 season:
• Feb. 19–21: bit.ly/3k3n6Vd
• Feb. 26–28: bit.ly/3kup4xV

Multiple CB360 Top-50 teams will be featured at two different notable tournaments, both in the Lone Star State. The Frisco College Baseball Classic (FriscoClassic.com), a four-day tournament being held at Dr. Pepper Ballpark (home of the Texas Rangers double-A affiliate, the Frisco Roughriders), includes a four-team field of: [24] Arizona, [31] Dallas Baptist, [47] Oklahoma and Missouri. In Thursday’s opening games, Arizona won a high-scoring battle vs. Oklahoma, 20–13, while Dallas Baptist edged Mizzou, 3–2.

Roughly 250 miles southeast of Frisco, at big-league Minute Maid Park in Houston, six Texas teams will be competing at the annual Shiners Hospitals for College Classic: [10] TCU, [11] Texas Tech and Texas State (#46 in the CB360 preseason Composite Top-50), along with Rice, Sam Houston State (Southland Conf. favorite) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The Big 12 rivals (TCU & Texas Tech) will not be facing each other this weekend and also will not be playing Rice at the Shriners Classic.

For the first time in the 13-year history of the CB360 Composite National Rankings (CNR), all 14 of the Atlantic Coast Conference teams are in the CNR Top-50. Twelve of those teams will be playing in head-to-head series this weekend (all but #28 Boston College and #44 Wake Forest, due to WFU’s Covid pause):

• [8] Louisville at [15] Georgia Tech
• [19] North Carolina at [18] Virginia Tech
• [6] Miami at [32] North Carolina State
• [33] Pittsburgh at [36] Duke
• [17] Virginia at [45] Florida State
• [49] Notre Dame at [37] Clemson

Boston College still will be facing a fellow CB360 Top-50 team, in a quickly added series at [21] Auburn (the Tigers’ initial March 4–6 series vs. Xavier was canceled). This week’s other top non-conference series within the CB360 Top-50 has [26] Texas playing at [41] Houston.

Three other CB360 Top-50 teams are playing home series vs. conference favorites that currently sit outside the Top-50: [3] Ole Miss vs. Belmont (Ohio Valley Conf.) … [4] Mississippi State vs. Kent State (Mid-American Conf.) … and [35] UCF vs. Liberty (Atlantic Sun).

UCLA (cb360 #13) is hosting a four-team tournament that includes a couple teams (Pepperdine and USC) that have fallen out of the CB360 Top-50, along with Cal State Fullerton. Coastal Carolina (cb360 #40) is in the midst of its usual early-season schedule, playing 15 of its first 16 at home. The Chants are hosting the annual Baseball at the Beach tournament, with games vs. Davidson, Miami (Ohio) and Connecticut (the Huskies recently fell out of the CB360 Top-50).

Five Top-50 teams got their weekends started early on Thursday: the three in Frisco, plus [20] Oregon State (at home for Thur.-Sat. series vs. BYU) and [43] Sacramento State, which suffered a 5–0 loss at Santa Clara in the opener of their four-game, Thur.–Sun. series.

The Big Ten Conference teams all have waited two weeks to finally start their 2021 seasons. Michigan (cb360 #29) actually is starting in Round Rock, Texas, vs. fellow Big Ten team Iowa (single game on Saturday and a Sunday doubleheader) – while [48] Indiana‘s unique opening week will play out at a big-league park (U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis). The Hoosiers are set for a Friday doubleheader vs. Big Ten foes Rutgers and Minnesota, followed by additional single games vs. each of those opponents over the weekend.

The only CB360 Top-50 team not scheduled to play this weekend is [39] West Virginia, due to their Covid pause. WVU initially was going to host Kent State, which managed to secure this weekend’s series at Mississippi State (after Tennessee Tech also paused).

>> Thursday Highlights (March 4) – [24] Arizona rapped out 19 hits en route to outscoring [47] Oklahoma, 20–13, in the opening game of the Frisco Classic. The Sooners led 9–3 thru three innings, but a couple runs in the 6th and six in the 7th later pushed Arizona to a 19–11 cushion. Wildcats leaders included: RF/cleanup batter Blake Paugh (4-for-6; 3 RBI–2R–3B–2 2B) … 2B/7-hole hitter Kobe Kato (3–4; 3 RBI–5R–2 2B–BB) … and LF/9-hole hitter Mac Bingham (3 RBI–HR–1B–2 BB).

Also on Thursday, Santa Clara had an impressive start to its four-game series vs. visiting [43] Sacramento State, winning 5–0 behind the pitching of sr. LHP Russell Grant (no-decision; 4.0 IP–2H–8K) and so. RHP Cole Kitchen (now 2–0; 5.0 IP–H–3 BB–HB–7K). The Broncos got all the offense they needed, from the likes of CF/leadoff batter Coleman Brigman (2-for-4; RBI–R–BB) and catcher/3-hole hitter Jake MacNichols (solo HR). SCU opened the 2021 season with an impressive 8–4 win over current CB360 #9 UC Santa Barabara and also had a win over Stanford in a week-2 series. Sac State, a co-favorite in the Western Athletic Conference, has beaten Arizona State (current CB360 #27) this season and swept three from Texas State, a preseason top-50 team in CB360 Composite Rankings.

College Baseball 2021 Opening-Week Scoreboard (CB360 Top-50 & more)

Pete LaFleur — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 22:19:52 +0000

www.simplesharebuttons.com

The wait is finally over !!! … kind of. The 2021 college baseball season begins on Friday, Feb. 19, but roughly only one-third of the Division I teams (96, of 300 were set to actually play on Opening Day. The others either already were slated for late starts (namely, the Big Ten Conference) or saw their Feb. 19 games canceled/postponed due to weather or Covid issues. (front page photo courtesy of Miami)

> By CB360’s count, this is the breakdown of the teams that ended up playing on Feb. 19:
8 – WCC
7 – ACC, Big South, Pac-12, SEC
5 – Ohio Valley, SoCon, Sun Belt
4 – American Athletic (AAC), Colonial, Conference USA, Missouri Valley, WAC
3 – Atlantic-10, Big 12, Big West, MAC, Mt. West
2 – Atlantic Sun, Horizon League
1 – Big East, MEAC, Northeastern (NEC), Patriot, Southland, Summit

Of the teams among CB360’s annual, signature Composite National Rankings Top-50 (now in its 13th season), only 26 are still standing for Opening Day. Those teams include a pair of notable head-to-head matchups: [10] Miami at [1] Florida, and [49] UConn at [12] Virginia … meaning that 24 of the top-50 are not playing on Feb. 19. Also of note: [4] Vanderbilt plays host to Horizon League favorite Wright State, a team typically capable of posting several high-level upsets.

As in past seasons, a full, in-depth release/story outlining the CB360 Top-50 will be forthcoming on this CB360 site, later in the weekend. But it is worth noting the 10 teams that sit among the 2021 preseason CB360 Composite Top-50 after not being among the 2020 preseason Top-50: [25] UCF … [28] Alabama … [34] Pepperdine … [36] West Virginia … [41] Tulane … [42] Long Beach State … [43] USC … [44] Notre Dame … [46] Texas State … and [48] Stetson.

(The 10 teams that were 2020 CNR preseason Top-50 but are outside the Top-50 heading into 2021: [2020 CNR preseason #16] Stanford … [36] Cal State Fullerton … [39] Minnesota … [40] UC Irvine … [41] Baylor … [43] South Alabama … [46] BYU … [47] California … [48] Houston … and [50] Florida Atlantic.)

In some ways, the 2021 college baseball season feels like an extension of the abbreviated 2020 campaign, and that can be evidenced by the fact that Stanford is the only team that was among the 2020 CNR preseason top-35 but is not among the 2021 CNR preseason top-50. And the 10 teams that are 2021 CNR preseason top-50 after not being 2020 preseason top-50 do not include any of the current top-24 (six of the 10 are down in the 40s, all but UCF, Alabama, Pepperdine and WVU).

CB360 Top–50 Weekend Scoreboard (March 8-10, 2019)

Pete LaFleur — Fri, 08 Mar 2019 20:08:26 +0000

www.simplesharebuttons.com

A blockbuster weekend of college baseball action is on tap for March 8–10, including two west-coast tournaments that each feature three-plus teams from the CB360 Composite National Rankings (CNR) Top–50. There also are six head-to-head series between CNR Top–50 squads, most notably [9] Texas at [2] Stanford … the visiting Longhorns won a 4–0 pitchers duel (0–0 into the 9th) on Thursday night, a thrilling opener to that four-game series.

In Thursday’s series opener, Texas freshman RHP Ty Madden (7 IP–5 H–3 BB–7K) – framed in front of Sunken Diamond’s distinctive, massive trees – was locked in a duel opposite Stanford so. RHP Brendan Beck (8.0-plus–2R–7H–BB–5K). Beck allowed an infield single and walk before leaving in the 9th, as the Longhorns rallied for the thrilling 4-0 win. – photo courtesy Texas

Scroll down for full CB360 Top–50 weekend scoreboard, featuring live-stat links for all games and plenty more bonus content. This page will be updated throughout the weekend.

The six-team Seattle Baseball Showcase will feature a gathering of teams that all have their sights set on the 2019 NCAA Tournament (and beyond), led by defending College World Series champion Oregon State (now atop the CNR, followed by fellow Pac-12 teams Stanford and UCLA). The field for this elite tournament – being held at “the artist formerly know as Safeco Field” (now T-Mobile Park) – also includes Sun Belt Conference favorite [12] Coastal Carolina, local team [28] Washington, [49] Indiana, Minnesota and San Diego.

The Golden Gophers entered the season as the Big Ten favorite and sat 24th in the CNR … but Minnesota has stumbled to a 2–8 start while facing a daunting schedule – with losses to Oregon State, current CNR #37 Dallas Baptist (2), still-unbeaten [13] N.C. State (3-game sweep) and WCC favorite Gonzaga. USD and veteran coach Rich Hill always are a dangerous opponent. The Toreros have jumped out to a 9–4 start, highlighted by wins over Missouri State, St. John’s (2) and crosstown rival San Diego State (plus “quality losses” to Arizona State, Oklahoma and SJU). The Toreros most recent game truly yielded a football-score rout: 31–3 vs. UC Riverside, setting the USD record for runs in a game.

One cool bonus feature for this tournament is that MLB stat tracker live-stats will be available for each game, in addition to the usual live-stats offerings being run by team host UW. See listings below that include both of the live-stats options for each game from Seattle.

… Down the coast, [3] UCLA and USC will be co-hosting the annual Dodger Stadium Classic, with the visiting teams including [24] Michigan and [35] Oklahoma State. The Wolverines and Cowboys both will play at UCLA and USC, before facing each other on Sunday at Dodger Stadium (when the Bruins and Trojans also will do battle).

Hawaii LF/leadoff batter and Houston native Scotty Scott (4-for-5; 2 runs, stolen base) played a lead role in Thursday’s 7–6 comeback victory vs. Oregon (CB360 Composite #31). – photo courtesy Hawaii

The Texas at Stanford series is one of several slated for four games, along with: [31] Oregon‘s annual trip to Hawaii (the host squad rallied to win Thursday’s opener, 7–6) … Indiana State at Mercer (with a Saturday DH) … and [41] New Mexico State hosting La Salle (also with two Saturday games).

>> And here are the weekend’s five other head-to-head series between CB360 Top–50 teams:
• [6] North Carolina … at [21] Clemson (start of ACC play)
• [39] Louisiana Tech … at [15] Arkansas
• [44] UC Santa Barbara … at [45] Tulane (top-50 newcomers)
• [46] UConn … at [42] Texas State
• and [48] Georgia Tech … at [33] Miami

There are five other conference favorites (outside of the top-50) that will be taking on current CB360 Top–50 squads, as: [12] Florida faces visiting Yale (Ivy League favorite) …[25] Texas A&M hosts WCC fav. Gonzaga … recent CB360 Top-50 team/Big East favorite St. John’s plays at [29] UC Irvine … [36] Illinois welcomes WAC fav.
