MT baseball to play full 56-game schedule in 2021
excerpts:
...each team in C-USA will play 24 league games, including facing one opponent twice during the regular season.
"The conference decided to cut down on flights and go to Western Division and East Division," MT coach Jim Toman said. "Instead of flying two or three times, everybody will be flying once. We'll still pick up an opponent the fifth week when we don't have a conference series and one the last week before the conference tournament...
...The West Division will include MT, UAB, Southern Mississippi, Louisiana Tech, Rice and Texas-San Antonio. The East Division will be made up Western Kentucky, Marshall, Charlotte, Old Dominion, Florida Atlantic and Florida International. Each team will play their division opponents once, with the exception of playing a "travel partner" twice home and home. Each team will play two opponents from the other division.
"We'll fly to UTSA, FIU flies here and we go to Western Kentucky," Toman said. "We have Louisiana Tech here, we go to Southern Miss and Rice will play here. We'll play UAB twice...
...MT was scheduled to open the season at Furman, but the university dropped its baseball program.
"We've had to scramble to add an opener and a few other games, but we're about 95 percent done with the schedule unless new rules are put in place," Toman said. "It seems to be changing every day. They've allowed us 32 slots for our roster, but we still have the same 11.7 scholarships to divide up."
