Jerry (NC):
Are there any teams who we might be perceiving as locks to make the tournament field who should be a little nervous over these next two weeks?
Teddy Cahill: Much of the ACC should probably be taking a long look at itself. The selection committee didn’t seem to be impressed by the conference last Friday when it only named two ACC teams to its shortlist of host sites. But I wouldn’t say anyone I view as a lock is in trouble. Your definition of lock might be a little different, though. You never know. The most obvious team that’s perceived to be safely in that might be closer to the bubble than we realize is Louisville. The Cardinals rank 55 in RPI, are just 8-12 outside of Louisville and are just 3-7 over the last three weeks. There resume is plenty fine as of now, but if they don’t arrest that slide, they’ll keep heading toward the bubble.
Dan McDonnell (KY):
What strings should I be pulling at this point to try and salvage this season?
Teddy Cahill: Speaking of Louisville - man, I don’t know. Returning home this week will be a positive. The Cardinals always play well at home and this year there’s a big home-road split going on with that team. But just about nothing went right this weekend at UNC. Louisville scored one run in the first two games and didn’t pitch particularly well. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do with that other than flush it and move on. Unless you can magically get the Cardinals back to full health this weekend, I don’t think there are any quick, easy fixes.

—The events of this past weekend allowed Notre Dame baseball to lock up the Atlantic Division title and the No. 1 seed for the ACC tournament. The Fighting Irish were picked to finish last in the division heading into the season. This marks just the second time since joining the ACC that Louisville has failed to win the Atlantic.
—And finally, the Louisville men’s golf sits in fifth-place after day one of the Noblesville Regional. The top six teams in the regional will advance to the NCAA Championships. The Cards are looking to make it to the NCAA Championships for the sixth time.
