The NCAA baseball tournament selection committee confirmed on Monday what many had already expected: The 2017 season for Missouri baseball was over.
Missouri was not selected as one of 64 Division I programs to compete in a regional bracket of the NCAA tournament despite a 36-23 season that included 14 Southeastern Conference victories and a 20-game winning streak.
Missouri was considered a “bubble” team—a team right on the brink of an at-large tournament selection—but was ultimately passed over. Texas A&M (whom the Tigers defeated in the SEC tournament last week) and Auburn, both seen as SEC bubble schools as well, made the tournament field.
