(SB) GAME THREAD - REGIONAL FINALS: Florida vs. South Alabama - Sunday 4 PM - ESPN+

When did your phone app show the 2% chance of rain at noon? This morning sometime, I imagine. The NCAA had to make the decision last night and I have 2 weather apps that both showed rain most of the night and lasting in Gainesville until 2 pm. Florida weather changes all the time, but the decision was made to change the game to 4 pm about 9:30 last night and to me it's crazy to think they did it to give the winner of South Alabama/FGCU time for extra rest. Predicted weather was the reason, I have no doubt.

Gators are the visitors for this game. South Alabama NOT starting their ace. We need to jump on this pitcher early and often.
