Sidelines-Missouri State

How Missouri State landed Olympic great Ryan Lochte as swim coach stltoday.com/sports/college…

Great first stop of the day at North Little Rock! #BearHunting #ItTakesUsAll

Missouri State outfielder Caden Bogenpohl gets some strife for his whiff rate (27.5%), but I think he’s actually a bit better hitter than that. In 2-strike counts, Bogenpohl’s whiff rate shrinks below 20%. There’s an approach there, with 70-grade juice.

Yes, I don’t like the word “lock“ either but I do feel pretty safe right now. We can’t lay an egg at Kennesaw, but I don’t think we have to win the tournament either at this point. We have some solid wins against top competition and that will be enough to get us in. Nevertheless, need to have a good showing this weekend regardless.

@SSN_MoState I’m not comfortable calling Mo State a lock yet. If they win the series vs Kennesaw, they’re a lock. If they win 1 of 3, probably still in but could get dicey. If they get swept by Kennesaw, then they may have to win the auto bid. Just my opinion

Baseball America has us as a lock now and as a #2 seed in the Ga Tech regional. Conference USA (3) •Locks: Jacksonville State, Missouri State •Should be in: Liberty •Work to do: None Liberty: Liberty would feel close to locked into the field if it can go to Murfreesboro and secure a series win over Middle Tennessee to close the regular season, this after dropping two of three at home to Louisiana Tech last weekend. A midweek win over Wake Forest would add another layer of security.

@BeLoudWearRed @TheTowelRackWKU Brutal non-con schedule

@SSN_MoState @TheTowelRackWKU How y’all could lose 7 of 8 or whatever it was and stay as high in RPI as you have will remain a mystery to me.

I agree. However, I wouldn’t play with fire. Get to the tourney unscathed and everybody should be feeling pretty good. Lose and the numbers sag, even if it’s someone decent.

@andrew_jhoward Keep underestimating us at your own peril.

For those questioning why MO State… Men’s: 22 conference titles and just won again in 2026 with records & NCAA qualifiers! Women’s: 18 titles and always in the mix for NCAAs. 14 NCAA qualifiers. 5 Olympians. Now adding Ryan Lochte?? 🔥

⚾️ HITTER OF THE WEEK ⚾️ 🏅1⃣ Taeg Gollert, @MoStateBSB #NoLimitsOnUs | bit.ly/3Pb6Ghy

Having a great day at the FPA Bears Football Golf Tournament at Twin Oaks. Raising money and raising hell!

So many folks are asking, why the @MissouriStBears? Why is someone of Ryan Lochte's caliber headed to Springfield, MO? Why not the SEC or other Power 4 or other professional circuit? Maybe folks shouldn't be sleeping on Missouri State?

@BeLoudWearRed Please explain how this pool works for the tournament. Since we have not been a part of this before, I’m not sure I fully understand the format.

CUSA baseball update after the penultimate weekend: * Jax State magic number: 1 * With the series win over hated rival KSU, Jax State moves one game closer to clinching the regular season championship. With a Jax State win or a Liberty loss, Jax State clinches. * Liberty salvages the final game of the series with LaTech to stay in the race for the #1. However, Liberty must sweep MTSU next weekend and have DBU sweep Jax State. That would result in a tie with Liberty owning the tie-breaker based on a series win against Jax State. Both doable, but unlikely. * MoSt with the sweep of hapless NMSU stayed in the race for the #2 seed with them owning the tie-breaker against Liberty. They travel to a suddenly game KSU next weekend. * DBU and LaTech are also could grab the #2 seed. If there is a tie between three or more teams, CUSA gets to figure out their convoluted tie-breaker system (assuming it's the same or similar as football). * By my calculations NMSU has been eliminated from the tourney. They can tie MTSU by sweeping FIU and Liberty sweeping MTSU, but MTSU swept NMSU earlier this season. * FIU remains in it but they need to sweep NMSU and have Liberty sweep MTSU. That would leave FIU and MTSU tied for the #9 seed with FIU having the tie-breaker against MTSU. * As a quick aside, Liberty really must sweep MTSU to stay in the chase for an at-large bid. * The 2-5 seeds will be battling it out for the best chance to advance to the tourney semifinals. Assuming Jax State gets the #1, Jax State is likely to roll through the #6 and #9 and win their pool outright. The #2 seed is going to have a much, much more difficult path. There is the definite possibility of not winning the pool and needing the "wildcard" to get to the semifinals. * The current standings are #2 Liberty, #3 MoSt, #4 DBU, and #5 LaTech which means Liberty and LaTech would be in pool together with SHSU. MoSt and DBU would be in a pool with KSU. Those pools will be absolutely electric.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Ryan Lochte joins Missouri State staff as an assistant coach

Baseball Bears moved back up 2 spots today to #24. Our incredibly tough strength of schedule continues to keep us elevated. CUSA is still in line for at least three teams in the NCAA tournament as of now. Potentially four if someone other than Mo State, Liberty, or Jacksonville State win the conference tournament.
