Vanderbilt got the #1 overall seed, barely rallied past Wright State in the opener, then lost to Louisville, then got gibbed by Wright State on the second try to send them packing. Louisville comes out of that regional, and will host Miami who came out of Southern Miss's. Louisville and Miami didn't meet during ACC play.
Arkansas and Tennessee -- perhaps the favorite to win the championship, versus the defending national champs.
LSU got all they could handle from Arkansas-Little Rock, but they move on, and will welcome West Virginia to Alex Box. On the other hand, Murray State, which galloped out to a 12-3 lead over Ole Miss, had to hang on for a 12-11 win, and will go to the super regionals for the first time ever, traveling to Duke.
The SEC put 13 teams into the field to the ACC's 9 but the SEC got cut down at scale as the ACC got more teams into the super regionals (5) than the SEC (4). Stanford actually went 5-1 against the ACC teams they met in conference play that are in the super regionals.
Go Beavers, Oregon State shut out usc 9-0 to move on to the super's. Justice comes in different forms plus the ducks did not make it out of their own regional (lost two straight).
