I forwarded the game boxscore link to my friend who is a SLU grad. Turns out he doesn't give a rat's ass about SLU baseball! But I had to make sure.

BYU is now 5-0 with a 7-1 win today at Samford. Samford is supposed to be pretty good and favored to win their league this year. They were 4-0 going into this game with a 4 game sweep of Butler last week. The Cougars are looking good so far. They play the same team again tomorrow and Saturday. BYU then plays Kansas next week.

Kansas is 2-1, lost to Little Rock. A school I have never heard of.
The other non-conf are niagara, UVU, and Utah. That seems to be a pretty lame non-conf. A&M is playing pepperdine, Texas, fresno state. |

BYU is just rebuilding after terrible years with Vance Law. Give them a successful season or two. Perhaps finding a good second starter will enable BYU to make a run. Additionally, a glossy record may make it more likely for them to get into the NCAA post season.

Good points. Also, this schedule is no easier as a whole than any they've had in the last decade. The difference is they're winning against it so far. One step at a time. We haven't made the NCAA tournament in like 13 years.

They have won six in a row now. Quite remarkable for them.

Last year Sagarin ratings:
BYU 103 Samford 116 St Louis 136 Kansas 124 Utah Valley 239 Niagara 291 This year's schedule is weakness. Niagara was almost the worst program in the country last year. |
