West Virginia prepared to go 'all in' against LSU this weekend
West Virginia's strategy in game one could dictate how the rest of the weekend goes
West Virginia head coach Steve Sabins is ready for the challenge of No. 6 national seed LSU when the Mountaineers head to face the Tigers in the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament this weekend.
"This week is easier to go all in. We did do that. And it's like anything, like you have to take aggressive and intelligent risks for you to win," Sabins said.
West Virginia is preparing for their three-game series against the Tigers after the untraditional regional setting.
The Mountaineers had to survive what could've been a four or five-game weekend, and got through the weekend in only three games. Now, they are playing a maximum of three, allowing them to be more bold with their strategy in-game.
The biggest piece Sabins will have to figure out is his pitching staff.
Griffin Kirn and Jack Kartsonas will start games one and two, but what happens if the series reaches a pivotal game three on Monday? Could Robby Porco, once again, get the nod to start after not making it out of the second inning on Sunday.
The bigger question than a potential game three starter is when to use bullpen pieces and how long they will go for.
