Kansas vs. Coastal Carolina - A battle of two fierce birds.

Kansas will play Coastal Carolina tomorrow at 1PM CST in the first game of the NCAA tournament. The Chanticleers are plenty good. Their record is 46-14, they are ranked #24 by Baseball America and their RPI score places them #27 in the nation. And yet this is actually a down year for the team. Coastal Carolina has made seven of the last eight NCAA tournaments. Three of the last four years Coastal Carolina was awarded regional host status. Chanticleer fans seeing 2009 as a rebuilding year does not mean Kansas has an easy Friday match-up.
Before I get into analyzing Coastal Carolina’s performance I point out that they are not comparable to Kansas’ numbers. The Chants play in the Big South conference and their schedule is rated the 130th most difficult of the 302 teams playing D-I baseball. By way of comparison KU’s schedule is rated #35. The Big South is not a terrible conference (ranked 19th out of 30 based on RPI) and, CCU has played some quality out of conference games, but overall they have built their numbers facing opposition significantly less skilled than the Hawks are used to facing. Full CCU stats can be found here.
CCU looks to be a well balanced team. They average 8.4 runs scored a game while only surrendering 4.3, excellent NCAA numbers on both ends. They get on base often (OBP% of .420) and hit for power (Slugging% of .535). CCU has ten players with more than 100 at bats, all of which have an OBP over .360 and only three of the ten have a slugging percentage under .500. Very impressive depth. As a team they have hit 81 homeruns compared to KU’s 54. The Chants also have great team speed, stealing 118 bases on the year, almost three times as many as Kansas has stolen.
CCU has a roster full of good D-I players but one stands out in particular. #23 David Anderson (1B, Sr) is CCU’s version of Tony Thompson. He is hitting .389/.492/.750 with 20 homeruns and 79 RBIs in 208 at bats. He just broke CCU’s career homerun record by hitting his 49th.
The Chants will send right handed starter Nick McCully to the mound instead of their team ace Cody Wheeler to take advantage of the Jayhawks’ right-handed heavy line-up. This really does KU no favors. McCully is 7-1 on the year and has an ERA of 1.92. In 65.2 Innings he has given up only 48 hits (4 home runs), and has a 22/60 BB/K ratio. T. J. Walz will get the start for the Hawks. Walz is 8-2 with a 4.18 ERA. Walz’ peripherals are outstanding (79.2 innings, 78 hits, 29/86 BB/K). McCully is in the process of being converted from the team’s stopper into a weekend starter, so his arm may be more rested than Walz’, but also less used to going deep into games. McCully is a true prospect after impressing last summer in the Cape Code League.
The CCU bullpen contains five decent arms so will not present Kansas with much opportunity for crooked innings late.
First pitch is at 1PM CST. The game will be carried live on KLWN AM-1320 (and streamed live through their website). I am not aware of any way to watch the game but if I find one I will be sure to pass the information along.
Tony Thompson named Third Team All-American by Louisville Slugger: The honors keep rolling in for Tony. Thompson is the first Jayhawk named to the All-American team since 2006 when Don Czyz was named.
Aman Reaka’s College Baseball Top-50 Draft Eligible Players: Aman (aka bkmhoxx) published his top-50 college prospects list at Big-12 Hardball the other day. If I have learned anything about college baseball over the last three years is to trust Aman’s judgment on matters like this. He is right more often than most and this list will prove to be solid. No Jayhawks made the top-50 list but it is full of names you will recognize from the Big-12. Aman is working on a story about KU's draft eligible players which we should have up before draft day.
Other KU coverage: If you can’t get enough KU hardball coverage, here are a few other sites worth checking out:
Waving the Wheat published by our own friend Fetch is keeping up on the Hawks.
Upon Further Review is a blog put out by Bradford Doolittle and Martin Manley of the KC Star. Manley has been publishing on the Jayhawks for the last two months.
State of the Union publishes original material on the team. This week he has a short interview with former KU catcher Logan Overman.
Nick Faunce has added an entry to his journal about Kansas weather and baseball. It is worthwhile reading for anyone who has found themselves sitting at Hoglund on a freezing wet afternoon and thought to themselves, “Am I really this insane?!?!”.
The LJ World is paying more attention to the team lately. Tom Keegan’s column from today was not bad. Dugan Arnett has been publishing notes on the team several times a week.

Hi Aman,
That was my plan as well. One hour until first pitch!
I hate that there is no video for the game. UNC is showing video of their game vs. Dartmouth so apparently they are capable of streaming from the stadium.

They are very well matched teams.
I think it is close to a toss up. CCU is probably favored, but not by much.
A lot of CCU fans are looking past KU. CCU and UNC are big rivals. That just might work to KU’s advantage.

Thats what i was thinking,
I read some coverage of this regional on rivals, not a mention of Kansas, it was basically all about UNC, and then they picked CCU as the dark horse. So i think maybe we pull a little Fresno state here, and move on.

Notes from Brian Haine's pre-game talk with Coach Price
Price says if the Hawks play defense and pitch to contact they will be in the hunt. CCU good offensive team due to combination of power and speed. They have one of the best head coaches in the nation and one of the best facilities in the nation.
The better the pitching the earlier in the count the batter has to swing. Sounds like he will want to see the bats moving early today. “We will be aggressive early in the count. If [McCully] gets two strikes he is gonna bring that good slider.”
Price and Roy Williams are old friends and they visited before the game. I learned today that Roy Williams donated money to KU baseball during the one year he and Price were both at KU. Roy is a big baseball fans and often goes to see UNC play post season games.

He is an amazing coach and a great person.
He left to go home with his ailing mother and his children. IF anyone thinks they wouldnt do the same, then I hope they get hit by a train.

I have no hate for roy either,
he did what he needed to do that was best for his family. And he’s just a good ol boy, ya know. He loves KU and he loves UNC.
That fact was obvious when he wore the KU Jayhawk sticker on his shirt at the finals, after we destroyed them in the semi-final.

Notes from Brian Haine's pre-game talk with Tony Thompson
Being named All-America most special award he has received so far as he represents the team and the conference across the nation.
Seems he is saying the team is still mad about how many base runners they stranded in the conference tournament. That seems to have been their mental focus over the week.
“Anyone can win this tournament. You just have to get hot at the right time. We know we can beat anyone. It will not be that different from the Big-12.”

Narodowski and Price made McCully throw some pitches. He probable through 20 in the inning. He is being converted from a closer to a starter in the second half of the season so I think he might have trouble going more than 100 pitches. Not like I really know what I am talking about here.

Whew! That could have been much worse. The only runs came in on Anderson’s homerun. Chants bat around in the inning. T.J. probably threw 40+ pitches. Miserable begining but the Hawks are very much in the game due to T.J. pulling it together and getting out of the inning.

KU 2 - CCU 11 (bot 8)
Burk loaded the bases on two hit batters and an infield single. He got the next batter to hit into a double play which scored the run.
Travis Blankenship is entering the game with now. This apperance will be Travis’ 38th of the season, a new school record.

KU has now hit six batters.
CCU fans getting a bit pissed. I am sure none of this was intentional.

IF
we come back tomorrow with a clear head and some focus
we should have no trouble with Dartmouth
but beating UNC/Coastal twice in their house is a pipedream.
we had to have this one today.

Ku Season
KU did not play very well today. I keep forgetting though we were picked to finish last in the Big 12. How many of us actually thought that KU would even qualify for this post season tournament at the beginning of the year? No that I can personally feel this way right now but we should be happy that they are still playing and hope this experience helps the team for any tournament chances next year.

Perspective
I know you are right. And I’ll see this loss for what it was in better perspective in a week or two.
Baseball fans have to get used to days like this.

Hi bkm,
The game is on the radio. I just put up the story. Better late then never. It was not the story I had hoped to write.
