Beat UT-Martin 6-1.

9-1 is a damn good start

Started like 14-1 last year and failed to make the NCAA. Would have been the first time since 2011 if they made it. Big tests coming this week against Clemson and South Carolina.

True making it this will be based on not choking in the big ten games.

It's still way too early to tell. We had a similar start last year and then so-so B1G season, and not advancing far enough in B1G tournament. I thought we might take a step back after losing Mekkes, Zimmerman and Vieaux.

Gleaves has been a great addition so far. The RPI is going to change a lot over the next few weeks. Competition is going to get a little better and right now the RPI looks good because of winning road/neutral site game.

28th in the USA Today Coaches Poll (but in the others receiving votes category).

Rankings - USA Today Coaches' Poll

Unranked in the Baseball America rankings.

20th in the Hero College Sports D1 Rankings, whatever they are.

FWIW, michigan is the only other B1G team mentioned anywhere (USA Today poll, well below MSU in the ORV group).

Coach Jake Boss Jr. wins 300th career game, 275th with MSU baseball

“It’s a cool honor. I had no idea until I was informed a couple weeks ago that I was getting close,” Boss said. “Winning No. 300 is special. We’ve had a lot of good kids here at Michigan State that we’ve been fortunate enough to work with and had a lot of great assistant coaches here that should get and deserve most of the credit for the wins that we’ve got.”

MSU And Illinois Will Wrap Up Series Sunday On BTN

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Michigan State baseball’s third game of its series at Illinois will remain as scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET and will be nationally televised on Big Ten Network. MSU and Illinois will not play Saturday due to inclement weather.

by **Floyd Robertson** Sat 25 Mar 2017 - 10:14

Win tomorrow and I think we might be back in the rankings Monday. 15-5 with a 17 RPI should do it. Hell, u of m is anywhere from 17-21 in the four polls with a 40 RPI as of last Monday, sitting on a 16-5 record this morning.
