I was encouraged by the team's performance this weekend at Tulane.
You are on the road at a warm weather school, first series of the year.
Pitching held up pretty well. Almost pull off the win on Friday.
Get the Sunday win.
1-2 on the road, ranked opponent doesn't really hurt your RPI. Doesn't give it the boost a series win would but still not bad.
Obviously not last year's team but still could just as easily have been 2-1 rather than 1-2 against a ranked opponent. They had come back and won Friday's game but one pitch got away from them on the three run home run.
Hopefully they have another excellent year.
Looking forward to Illini baseball this spring.
