Matt Hogue says margin was ‘razor-thin’ on bubble for 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament

As is often the case, there were some controversial choices regarding the NCAA Tournament and the teams on the bubble this season. That’s something that selection committee chair Matt Hogue says was a razor-thin margin.

“The margin is razor thin. I think, in my experience, this is one of the most difficult years we’ve had. A lot of groups of teams that had quality resume items,” Hogue said.

“Also, I think one thing that will be a key issue going forward is you don’t have full round robin league schedules anymore. So we really had to dig deep — who was playing the most difficult schedule in their league, how many series did you win, especially when you had a cluster of teams maybe in the same conference.”

While he didn’t get into specifics, it’s probably that Hogue was talking about the Big 12, which had UCF, TCU, and Cincinnati all on the bubble. However, only the UCF Knights ended up making it into the NCAA Tournament.
