If it were up to me, Wintz would be on a fan scholarship, full ride.
KU threw their mid-week starter with a 5+ ERA and we scored 1 run. After that, they threw mediocre arms until the 9th when they put in their closer and we still couldn't plate more than 1 run - largely because our situational hitting is terrible (10 LOBs). We threw our bad mid-week starter for 3 innings and then our best pen guys the rest of the way. And, we still lost. We'll face WVU or TCU tomorrow (we lost the series to both 1-2). The only way we don't lose is if Boerma throws a gem and/or the sleepy bats we've had for the last month wake up.Lose tomorrow and it'll be surprising if we make the tourney because we'll likely have an RPI in the 50s and three of the four other Big 12 bubble teams (Cincy, TCU, UCF) will have better RPIs with KU potentially surpassing us as well.From the fun fact department - it would be interesting to know if an NCAA head coach has ever had at least one player who would become a first round draft pick on his teams for five straight years and fail to reach the NCAA tourney a single time. In Hughes' case, it's 2019 & 2021 (Wicks - no tourney in 2020) and 2022, 2023, 2024 (likely Culpepper).
