I'm guessing they won't try to make up today's cancelled game at all.Jake102 said:

Agreed, especially since tomorrow's 2pm game may be in doubt to start then. Weather service isn't showing it hitting 32 until 1pm tomorrow and likely possibility of freezing rain and normal rain thru about 5pm Saturday.jewstfrogit said:
If anything a delayed start til Saturday night and Sunday game seems more likely than double header tomorrow. Maybe even a 9:30am, 1pm double header Sunday only.

Cal Poly's tweet this morning said cancelled. I see Ross Bailey has tweeted they will try to start play at 11am tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath for a DH actually happening, though. Really doubt the field will be dry in time. There's actually been nothing official from TCU.leofrog said:

Weekend Roundup - Top 10 / Big 12:
#1 TCU (7-1): trending: n/c
1-0
All games in 3-game series vs. Cal Poly cancelled due to weather. Midweek W over UTA (1-0)
Next up: home vs. Rice midweek, LA roadtrip to play Vandy, UCLA, USC and Loyola-Marymount next weekend/midweek
#2 UVA (10-0): trending: n/c
3-0
Midweek game vs. GWU postponed. Swept Virginia Tournament with Ws over 3-3 Hartford (5-1), 1-5 Seton Hall (4-1) and 1-5 Cornell (5-4). UVA is the top-ranked undefeated team, but they've only faced one team with a winning record--ECU (5-4).
Next up: midweek vs. 2-1 VMI and a weekend series vs. 3-5 Pitt
#3 LSU (10-1): trending: up
4-0
Midweek W over SELA. The LSU Tigers swept the Princeton Tigers in 3: 3-2, 7-2, and 15-4. Beating Princeton won't do wonders for LSU's RPI, but sweeping all 3 weekend series they've played will keep them moving up the polls. That Nichols State loss was really a head-scratcher, though NSU has improved to 7-3 after taking 3 of 4 from Utah (2-10) this weekend.
Next up: midweek vs. SFA and Grambling, Houston College Classic vs. UH, Baylor and Nebraska
#4 Vanderbilt (8-2): trending: n/c
4-0, plus a game ongoing.
Midweek Ws over TN-Martin and WKU. Vandy has clinched the weekend series vs. Illinois State and is tied at 10 in the top of the 7th. None of these teams are high-RPI teams. A 5-win week would still be great, though.
Next up: midweek vs. Evansville (4-2), then the Dodgerton Classic vs. UCLA, USC and TCU.
#5 Florida (10-1): trending: up
3-0
Swept 2-7 Stony Brook (1-0, 14-3, 6-2). UF could be the top team in the polls this week. They have looked good and have a great record.
Next up: 2-game midweek series vs. 10-1 UCF (home-and-home), and a 3-game weekend series vs. 2-8 Maine
#6 Houston (8-4): trending: down
2-3
Lost midweek at Texas State. Split a 4-game home series vs. Columbia. UH is a great team, but the last week hasn't been kind to them. After starting 6-0, they've lost 4 of their last 6. The series win over Alabama is still very good.
Next up: midweek vs. HBU, Houston College Classic vs. LSU, A&M & Hawaii.
#7 Texas Tech (9-1): trending: n/c
1-0
Midweek game vs. ACU PPD due to weather. Only got in 1 of 5 planned games vs. Sacramento state this weekend (a Tech win).
Next up: midweek vs. Northern Colorado (1-3); weekend road trip to Cal State Fullerton (5-5)
#8 UCLA (9-1): trending: n/c
3-0, with a fourth game ongoing
Midweek W over Long Beach St. Bruins have clinched series W over Michigan St and are ahead in game 3 early.
Next up: midweek vs. Cal State Northridge, then Dodgertown Classic vs. Vandy, TCU and USC
#9 Arizona St (7-4): trending: n/c
3-1
Hosted Phoenix Muni Classic, split 2-game series with Cal State Bakersfield (6-6), and notched Ws over Purdue (4-7) and Gonzaga (5-7).
Next up: weekend series hosting Long Beach State (7-3)
#10 Oklahoma State (7-4): trending: n/c
3-1
Midweek W vs. Missouri St, won 2 of 3 in the Auburn Tournament (2 Ws v. W. Ill., L to Auburn). The L to Auburn isn't so bad because Auburn is surprisingly good, and they were the host.
Next up: midweek 2-game series vs. UNLV, weekend series vs. a surprisingly good (8-2) Illinois team
#11 Texas (8-3): trending: down, slightly
1-1, with a game ongoing
Midweek W over UTPA, difficult weather, but getting in 2 vs. San Diego today -- 1 loss with the second of the DH knotted at 0 in the 7th. That USD loss isn't pretty, though it's a DH so we'll see what happens. A split in a DH is always fine.
Next up: big 4-game weekend series at Stanford (6-6)
#12 Rice (8-5): trending: down, slightly
3-2
Midweek W over SFA. Split weekend series vs. Stanford 2-2. Significantly, in the 3 games they won this week, they scored at least 11+ runs, and in the 2 games they lost, they scored 5 or fewer. We need to beat Rice on Tuesday.
Next up: midweek game at #1 TCU
#25 Baylor (6-5): trending: down
1-3
Midweek W vs. Northwestern State. Bears got swept @ Cal State Fullerton this weekend, which will knock them out of the rankings altogether and raise the profile of CSF as they prepare to host Tech for 3 next weekend.
Next up: midweek vs. SHSU; Houston College Classic vs. Hawaii, LSU and A&M
Kansas (4-7): trending: n/c
2-2
KU played in FL this weekend, beating Chicago State and Northeastern, and losing to NDSU and Boston College. This Jayhawks team doesn't look as good as last year's that challenged for hte regular season conference title.
Next up: midweek 2-game series at (9-3) GrandCanyon and weekend series vs. (2-10) Utah in Manhattan.
Kansas State (4-5): trending: n/c
0-1, with another game ongoing
Lost to Cal Saturday and down 1-5 in the 6th. This Wildcats team is just average.
Next up: 3-game series next weekend vs. (6-3) Santa Clara
Oklahoma (9-5): trending: up
3-1
Midweek game @ DBU was postponed, but the Sooners took 3 of 4 vs. BYU in Las Vegas this weekend. After starting off 3-4, the Sooners have gone 6-1 to get to 9-5 on the season. They should build on that success in the win column this week.
Next up: midweek vs. Ark-Pine Bluff, weekend series vs. Purdue
WVU (4-6): trending: down
1-3
Played in SC this weekend, losing 3 to Coastal Carolina, Kent State and Illinois, and beating Ball State. The good news is each team that beat them has a winning record. The bad ne2ws is this Mountaineers team has lost 5 of the last 7 after getting the season off to a great start with a series win at Clemson.
Next up: weekend series at East TN State (6-2)
