  When you look at Ole, miss this week, they'll play Arkansas State Wednesday
• 0:06
  ball game. Then they'll come back and play high Point, whereas high Point
• 0:10
  I have no North Carolina. North Carolina, Okay, so what it's something
• 0:13
  about baseball up there. You've got so many directional schools. It seems like
• 0:16
  smaller schools, big school That's a heck of a region, it seems like
• 0:20
  for baseball. Yeah, and it's of course ACC heavy up there with all
• 0:25
  the ACC schools in North Carolina. But then you have these mid majors that
• 0:30
  can flight out compete Coastal Carolina. They North Carolina or South Carolina. I
• 0:35
  can't I don't remember, but man, what a powerhouse baseball program they've had
• 0:40
  for several years. But you're right, that region of the country is loaded
• 0:43
  with talented teams. So with a three game set in Oxford versus high Point,
• 0:49
  and then they'll grab Little Rock next week Missouri State two midweek ball games,
• 0:53
  and then come back and take on Iowa. I would think by the
• 0:56
  time in look, Iowa was ranked eighteenth in the country. Big ten doesn't
• 1:00
  get taken seriously in baseball, but you do have to play three team or
• 1:03
  three game set from a team from the Big Ten. So I think what
• 1:04
  I'm getting is you want to see now coming off a two and two clip
• 1:07
  against Hawaii, all run of games. I mean, High Point doesn't need
• 1:11
  to come in here and win a ballgame or two. You don't need to
• 1:14
  lose to a little rocker Missouri State. By the time you get to Iowa.
• 1:17
  You need to be kind of be on a run here. Yeah,
• 1:19
  you need to be clicking on all cylinders because that Friday night game against Iowa
• 1:22
  is gonna be tough. Brody Breck is one of the top pitchers in the
• 1:26
  country for Iowa. He could potentially be the top college pitcher off the board
• 1:30
  in the twenty twenty four draft in July, and Ole miss is going to
• 1:34
  have a tall task on their hands with that game on that Friday night against
• 1:40
  Brody Brick. But it only takes a little bit of momentum. And all
• 1:42
  they've got to do is get off to a good start this week and play
• 1:47
  some good baseball in these midweek games, and when Iowa comes into town,
• 1:51
  they could be clicking, and then of course they'll finish the non kind up
• 1:53
  Memphis and then of course Morehead State on a three game clip before u EL
• 1:57
  Monroe than South Carolina
