Few college baseball programs are as storied as the Texas Longhorns, so seeing them in a regional just sort of makes sense. In 2017, especially, UT earned their keep: They racked up 27 wins at home and finished the regular season ranked 18th in RPI which, even by Big 12 standards (they ranked #1 among conferences in this regard), is a significant accomplishment.
And in the first year of the David Pierce era, emerging from this tough regional could represent the first steps to a renaissance on the diamond in Austin.
