Coastal Carolina and LSU face off in Game 1 of the College World Series Championship Final on Saturday. In a press conference on Friday, three Coastal Carolina players – Blake Barthol, Caden Bodine, and Jacob Morrison – expressed their confidence in taking down the powerhouse SEC team.
The Chanticleers have been on a winning streak, with 26 consecutive victories under their belt. Their last loss came on April 22 against College of Charleston. When asked to name something admirable about LSU, all three players took a pause before bursting into laughter, stating that they didn’t admire their opponents.
“We’re not really worried about the Tigers,” said Barthol. “We’re focused on our team and our team only.” This unapologetic response was seen as authentic by many, but it’s likely to fuel LSU’s motivation ahead of Saturday’s game, which the Tigers are currently favored in at sportsbooks.
