In college baseball today, U of Georgia Bulldogs pulled off an upset of (10)LSU winning both games of a doubleheader. Saturday's game was rained out, so they played two 7 inning games today on Sunday. UGA won game 2 of the series by the score of 9-5 and then won game 3 of the series 3-2. LSU won the opening game of the series on Friday by the score of 7-3. With the two losses today that brings LSU's record to 17-7 overall; LSU has lost 6 of the last 7 games. After losing the weekend conference series to UGA, LSU will certainly continue to drop in the rankings. McNeese St is up next on the schedule for LSU, Wednesday night at 6:30 pm CDT. In other SEC baseball news, (1)Florida loses two of three to South Carolina, another surprise. Florida may drop in the rankings as well.
And now on to the biggest upset of the day so far; (11)Virginia Commonwealth University beating (1)Kansas in the NCAAB Elite Eight match up today by the score of 71-61. This was VCU's first ever Elite Eight appearance as they move on to the Final Four to face (8)Butler on April 2nd. This is without a doubt the furthest a play-in team has advanced in the tournament. Now that the two remaining underdogs face each other, the winner moves on to set up a certain David versus Goliath match up against the winner of the UCONN versus Kentucky/UNC game. Are there more upsets to come? Only time will tell.
