Everyone needs to chill. We should be pretty good offensively, but our defense isn’t a strength and we need to see how our pitching beyond McPherson and Valincius hold up against quality opponents. Ariz St. is pretty good and their pitcher was very good, but they aren’t UCLA nor the top half of the SEC. Everyone else that we have played isn’t all that good. Tomorrow, we find out and usm is fully expecting to beat us and i’ll be surprised if they don’t.

I’d assume both teams respect what the other has done and are looking forward to the opportunity. Neither are worried.

As for USM, I’d assume they think we are a paper tiger and they look forward to smoking us.

They’re good. I’m enjoying this game. Looking forward to our game plan. I’d like to mess with their tempo.

They've been very impressive in their first two games and they've probably played better competition than we have in those two games.

I expect a good game.

Win would be great. Loss won’t be the end of the world. Anything can happen in a single baseball game. Either way, a lot of work left to do. It’s a single nonconference game in early March.

A few plays could change the game either way. Agreed to not read too much into this game.

It's going to be fun to compete against UCLA. This is why you play the game.

UCLA should be worried about us because we spend more money and resources on baseball than they do. Thus we’re the favorite to win the national championship. It’s ours to lose.
