LITTLE ROCK - The Sun Belt preseason baseball rankings were released Tuesday morning and Little Rock was picked fifth in the western division of the conference with 27 points.
Louisiana was picked to win the western division for the second year in a row with 68 points. Behind Louisiana were the two Texas schools, UT Arlington with 56 points and two first-place votes, and Texas State with 51 points and one first-place vote. Little Rock sits just behind rivals Arkansas State who were voted 36 points and ahead of ULM with 11 points.
"If you look at what we did before we probably earned where we are seeded," head coach Chris Curry said when asked about it.
