ELI HYNES
The Tigers hadn't appeared in a tournament championship game since 1995, but the 2012 club changed that with two impressive wins in pool play at the 2012 Conference USA Championship presented by Trustmark. A 14-3 win over Southern Miss set up a must- win against No. 4 Rice, and the Tigers rallied past the Owls 3-2 to clinch a spot in the title game. In rematches of the 1993 and 1994 Great Midwest Tournament finals, the Tigers fell short in a 5-0 loss to UAB.
