8:50	Brian Foley - Send in your questions now...I will start answering questions at 9pm.

Brian Foley - One of the biggest stories of the week is Texas struggling with a 0-3-1 with a loss to Rice and two losses and a tie against Kansas State. The other story was TCU taking the other two games (besides Strasburg) in their series against San Diego State.

I was very disappointed in seeing Boston College lose two out of three games to Duke.

The Ivy League will have a playoff in the Gehrig Division to decide the winner between Princeton and Cornell. The winner of that one game playoff will take on Dartmouth next weekend.

The Patriot League Tournament field is also set with Bucknell picking up the top seed, Army number 2, Holy Cross the 3 seed, and Lafayette as the 4 seed.

9:02	[Comment From Billy ] Do you think the Southland Conference will get two bids to the tourney this year? Also, can you comment on Texas State's season.

Colin Weber - Before this weekend I was feeling confident that Sam Houston State would be an at-large team with a top 45 RPI, but they were swept this weekend by Southeastern Louisiana. That might have been the chance for the Southland to get two teams in this year. It's still possible that Texas State could get a high enough RPI to give the Southland a 2nd bid if they don't end up winning the conference tourney. They have had a good season this year. They play a tough mid-week schedule and it has really paid off in conference play. I'm a big Goldschmidt fan.

9:05	Brian Foley - Texas State currently has an RPI of 35 entering today...

9:05	Colin Weber - I hadn't looked at the RPIs since Friday, so that is definitely high enough for an at-large bid.

9:07	[Comment From Billy ] I guess my questions was more to the point of will Texas State get an at-large bid if they don't win their conference tourney

9:07	Brian Foley - As of right now, Texas State would be in the tournament.

9:07	Colin Weber - Yes, it's looking like they will be in position to get an at-large bid as long as they keep their RPI in the top 45.

9:08	[Comment From Billy ] 12 game win streak and 21 of the their last 23. Big mid-week game v. UT on Tuesday. I'm looking to make a statement with this one. Enjoy the site, thanks.

9:09	Brian Foley - Texas really needs to step it up on Tuesday as they really need a win to get back on track as they might be out of hosting a regional soon if this current swoon continues.

9:10	Colin Weber - The Texas/Baylor series will be big for both teams next weekend. Both teams failed to pick up wins this weekend. Texas was 0-2-1 against Kansas Staet and Baylor was swept by Oklahoma.

9:12	[Comment From alohaball ] Hawaii splits the series with New Mexico St., with 2 of the games being called with the mercy rule in effect. How much does this hurt Hawaii?

9:12	Colin Weber - I don't pay attention to margin of victory, so it really means nothing to me. The wins and losses are what matters.
