Each pair of regional winners connected with "and" will face off in the super-regionals.  Winners of those go on to Omaha to play in the 8-team College World Series.

I like that the Huskers get top play in OKC - driving distance

I also like that there are 3 teams from the state

WVU is hosting a post season baseball game for the first time since 1955.  Fans are pretty pumped. Gonna be a tough ticket to get. But, yeah, the Mountaineers are pretty good this year.  The Big 12 money allowed the school to build a much needed new stadium a few years ago and it has helped in recruiting and fielding better teams.

In 2016 WVU made a regional for the first time since 1997 and now are back hosting one.  They also made the Big 12 championship game for the third time this past Saturday.  There isn’t a lot of great baseball being played in the northeast.  WVU is trying to establish itself as THE program in that part of the country.

A lot of traditional powers having down years, ending up as 3 seeds.  Florida, Clemson, FSU, TCU are more often hosts than not.  Should be fun!

It's supposed to be in Stillwater, but it's being moved to Bricktown because all the rain has left Allie P. Reynolds in bad shape.
Good luck to the Huskers, but Oklahoma State is playing very well right now.

Bricktown is a bit further to drive, but Husker fans have always enjoyed the Bricktown.

Huskers playing as well as they have all season presently, 7-3 in their last ten vs some good competition

Huskers were 4-1 vs Texas Tech and Baylor this season

Oklahoma City, Okla. – The Nebraska baseball team (32-22) compiled 13 hits and used a four-run third inning to defeat UConn, 8-5, in the opening game of the NCAA Oklahoma City Regional at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark on Friday afternoon. It marked the first time since 2008 that Nebraska won its first game of the NCAA Tournament.

The Huskers will play on Saturday at 7 p.m. (CT) against Oklahoma State

OSU got drilled by Vandy. I had a feeling that they had zero chance of winning that game, but on the other hand even the best MLB teams are just about guaranteed to suffer at least 50 losses over the course of the season. So you never know. In theory.

Baseball obviously hinges on your pitching staff.  A team might have one great pitcher and one pretty good one and do well over the season but their 3 and 4 guys might not be more than OK, and that can show up in a series.  Spahn and Sain and ....

I see the Dawgs got up 13-0 early and pulled their starter after 2 innings.  You don't see that often in MLB, if ever.  They face FSU now.
