Jacko still cryin' over location of Super Regional

Tigers coach says team treated unfairly by NCAA.

WHAT? Stop cryin Jacko, the season is over...go recruit or go to the lake and enjoy some down time.

Jack Leggett removed himself and his team from the scene of Clemson University's postseason baseball tournament disappointment but he brought the disappointment back with him.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday morning for the first time since returning from Clemson's super regional tournament loss at Mississippi State, the Clemson baseball coach didn't back away at all from the feeling that his team was treated unfairly by the NCAA committee that sent then to Starkville, Miss., to play Mississippi State.

"From everything I knew and had been told, I felt we would be hosting (the super regional)," Leggett said. "From the polls the the RPI to hw you fared in your last 10 games, all these were factors in our favor, and with a better record, I told all our players if we win our (regional) tournament and Florida State loses theirs, we'd be hosting a super regional.

"Then (after Mississippi State was awarded the super regional), I started hearing things about the crowd size, that they had played here (in super regionals) before and all that, and that's just not part of the equation," Leggett said. "That shouldn't be how you determine these things; teams should be ranked 1-to-64 or whatever and it should just go from there."

After a season full of injuries, Leggett's team finally had a set roster the last six weeks or so of the season and played its best baseball at that time, which only added to Leggett's frustration."I wanted to go down there, win two games and I was going to be very vocal about (the site selection)," Leggett said. "I just honestly feel the right thing didn't happen to us."

Thoughts from LOHD readers? Does he have a valid argument or is this just typical Tigers belly-achin over a loss?
