When playable isn’t playable

There are a million ways an athlete’s career can end.
A national championship trophy, a boisterous celebration with the teammates who became family, a gritty postseason match ending in either immortal glory or valiant defeat.
For 19 of the seniors at the NCAA women’s golf regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Wednesday, their collegiate career ended with a man who made an announcement on The University Club’s clubhouse stairs.
Why?
For Mississippi State women s golf coach Charlie Ewing and his team, it s a question that might never have an answer after the Bulldogs didn t get the chance to compete at the Baton Rouge Regional this week. The NCAA declared that The University Club course was playable, but not at a championship caliber . As a result, the top six seeds at the event automatically advanced to the NCAA Championships. But as for everyone else, including State, those seasons came to an unceremonious end.
MSU came into the Baton Rouge Regional on the heels of a second-place finish at the Southeastern Conference Championships. It was the team s best-ever finish at the event. The Bulldogs went to Baton Rouge with a ton of momentum and high aspirations. They left with nothing but disappointment and questions after not getting to play any golf at all.
Final Regional Projections Has UL Softball Staying In-State
The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns are projected to be part of an in-state regional featuring four college softball teams from three different states for the 2021 NCAA Regionals.
Earlier this week, Hayden King of College Sports Madness projected Louisiana to play in the Baton Rouge Regional, along with LSU, Villanova, and Texas Southern.
Yes, a lot can still happen in the respective conference tournaments this week, but we are indeed coming down the home stretch, and these are the final projections before the field of 64 is announced on Sunday night.
The Cajuns are currently 40-10, overall, and 20-3 in Sun Belt Conference play.
