My take:

1. Mangione coach of the year.
2. Wish I was there.
3. 95% off speed junk by UK pitchers. You have to stop trying to hit corners/fool the hitters at some point and come at them and if they hit it you have the best defense in the tournament.
4. FFS and the love of god please stop saying someone has the advantage in a baseball game after 2 days because someone played later than you. Good lord in no way was TAM more tired than UK and everyone on the planet knows it.
5. Almost impossible to win from the loser's bracket.
6. Tennessee and Texas A&M are probably the best 2 teams.
7. Anything can still happen.
8. Go Cats, what a year. So proud.

You are my guy and I greatly respect your opinions, but I have to disagree with the bolded. That one is my hill to die on.

May be an issue of semantics and how much of an advance a few additional hours of rest actually is, but I can't see how additional time for recovery, treatment, and game prep isn't an advantage.

I feel it can be an advantage if they would have had to play the next day. Having the next day off to recover probably evened the playing field. Now if they would have had to play the next night it would have played a role in the game. But what beat us was facing a superior pitcher and us having one blowup inning.
