C-USA corrals five regional spots
From staff and
Conference USA reports
Conference USA reinforced
its position as one of the nation's top college baseball leagues when it
received five bids to the 2008 NCAA Baseball Championship. The
invitations to compete in next weekend's regionals were announced by the
Division I baseball committee on Monday.
Rice
will host the Houston Regional as the No. 6 national seed, Southern Miss
will be the No. 2 seed in Baton Rouge, LA, East Carolina will be the No.
2 seed in Conway, SC, and Tulane will play in Tallahassee, FL, as the
No. 3 seed.
Houston, which emerged
Sunday with the Conference USA Tournament title, will be the No. 3 seed
in College Station, TX.
C-USA's five bids tie for
the most in league history, matching the five selections during the 2002
season.
Only the Southeastern
Conference (9), Atlantic Coast Conference (6) and Big 12 (6) had more
bids than Conference USA.
