Last Four In: UCF, LSU, Northeastern, Louisville
First Four Out: Maryland, Coastal Carolina, Kansas, Louisiana Tech
The defending National Champions are back in the picture … but barely… after taking the series over No. 1 Texas A&M this weekend. Oklahoma and Mississippi State make a jump to a National Seed and Regional host. The Bulldogs have quietly been climbing the ladder in the SEC and here they are. There are many teams on the bubble this season, which could possibly make for some bid-stealers during conference tournament play coming up in a few weeks. LSU is still not out of the woods yet, as a series loss either this upcoming or next could leave them outside again. LSU must win their final two series in order to stay in the field.
