TCU vs Louisiana Baseball Preview
TCU comes into the NCAA baseball tournament with big expectations under first-year head coach Kirk Saarloos. The Horned Frogs won the Big 12 Conference regular season title but fell short in the conference tournament.
“My goal for our program, for our team, is obviously to win a lot of baseball games, but also to have them understand that baseball is something that we do, it’s not who we are,” Saarloos told TCU Magazine before the season. “I want them to be able to separate being a student, being a great brother or eventually being a great husband.”
With the on-field goals met, the Horned Frogs’ first opponent in the NCAA baseball tournament can’t be overlooked, however. Louisiana comes in confident.
“We’re going to have our hands full with the Ragin’ Cajuns,” Saarloos told the media via baseball writer Eric Sorenson. “But even if we face A&M, it’s about the players not the coaches. It’s not like Schloss & I are out there in uniform stealing bases or making catches.”
Ragin’ Cajuns head coach Matt Deggs likwise anticipates a tough matchup.
“They’re obviously super well-coached. Their kids are going to be ready. It ought to be a good battle,” Deggs said via The Advocate.
“We’re pretty similar on paper, even if you look at a lot of the RPI metrics,” Deggs added.
Louisiana won the Sun Belt Conference title, and the conference four teams to the NCAA tournament. The Big 12 sent five squads, including TCU.
“Look, what our boys did last weekend (at the Sun Belt tourney) is no small feat,” Deggs said via the Advocate. “That could have been a regional in and of itself. It was pretty impressive what they did. Hopefully, we still have some steam to us and keep this thing rolling.”
