I would sure like the selection committee to consider the likelihood of weather especially lightning delays when selecting host sites. It's not gonna happen but there have been so many weather delays due to lightning...it's unfair to the athletes, especially the visiting teams, and the fans What about considering the Cascadia Earthquake? We would never host again. The NCAA has a hard enough time without you expecting them to control and/or make decisions regarding the weather. Life isn’t fair. Maybe the lightning free teams should win more games. |

How many other teams played series against juggernauts Coppin St and Western Carolina? |

South Carolina played:
UMass Lowell (3). Not UMass. Directional UMass.
Queens.
North Carolina A&T.
Winthrop (2)
The Citadel (2), which finished below WCU in the SoCon
USC Upstate (2)
Bethune-Cookman (3)
Presbyterian (7th in the Big South)
Charleston Southern (5th in the Big South)
North Florida
Juggernauts.
Maybe we didn't deserve a regional, who knows. But don't kid yourself. Everybody plays some Q4 games like WCU and Coppin State every damn season, not just us.

This feels about right. Auburn had no business hosting. They just did not do well enough against teams with pulses to warrant it. I don't know that Oregon State deserved to host, but they deserved to host far more than Auburn.
