TCU clinches basball title

The TCU baseball Frogs have their best chance in years of hosting a NCAA regional following the series sweep of Utah over the weekend. With a 3-1 win Sunday, the Frogs clinched the Mountain West Conference title. With an overall record of 37-11, and improving attendance at Lupton Stadium, TCU will be difficult to pass up as a regional host. The problem is, the MWC is a weak conference, and even strong midweek wins over Big 12 competition in recent weeks may not be enough to convince the selection committee Fort Worth deserves a Regional.
Update: 1:38 p.m. The Frogs face another significant hurdle: So many quality teams in their region of the country. If they host, it will likely be as a second seed in a four-team region.
