Florida baseball made the NCAA Tournament as the No.2 seed in the Conway Regional, joining No.1 seed Coastal Carolina, No.3 seed East Carolina, and No.4 seed Fairfield. Before Gator Country dives into specific matchups, I wanted to provide a more generalized preview to gain a better understanding of the Gators’ competition this weekend.
Coastal Carolina (48-11, 26-4 SBC)
The Chanticleers put together an unbelievable season in the Sun Belt conference and enter the NCAA Tournament having won 18 games in a row. Despite holding the 8th best RPI in the country, Costal Carolina missed out on a top 8 national seed because of their strength of schedule, which ranked 66th in college baseball.
