re: How is the SEC doing in the Softball Regionals?

Teams that have locked in their invites to the Super Regionals (all of these teams finished 3-0):

Florida - will play Kentucky
Kentucky - will play Florida
Missouri - will play either UCLA or SDSU
Alabama - will play either Oklahoma or Texas A&M

Teams that need to win one game out of two to advance:
Tennessee (2-0) - playing Utah (Up 2-0)
Auburn (2-0) - playing South Alabama (Up 6-4)

Teams that need to win one game out of one:
LSU (3-1) - beat ASU earlier today, forced game 7
UGA (3-1) - beat WKU earlier today, forced game 7 (currently beating WKU 5-0)

Teams that must win the next 2:
Texas A&M (2-1) - beat Lehigh to advance. Just started the first game against Oklahoma.

Teams that must win the next 3:
Mississippi State (1-1) - beat Weber St earlier, currently down 2-0 against Baylor. Winner will be in the loser's bracket against front runner La-Lafayette.

Teams already eliminated:
South Carolina (1-2)


In all honesty, I'm not sure anyone is playing hotter than Alabama. They won their regional by a combined score 28-1, while tossing a 2 two-hitters and 1 one-hitter.

LSU has stormed back after the ASU loss earlier.

Florida had an easy ride until today, not being really challenged but today was a fight. FAU had the Gator bats silent, but thankfully the Gator pitching has been great the past two games.

Kentucky doesn't seem to get enough respect, IMO. I think UK would have had a much better record in nearly any other conference.

Missouri was VERY close to having to play an elimination game despite having a pretty good lead over Kansas earlier, but they got out of a bases loaded jam with Kansas still down by 1, with the Tigers held on to win by.

Auburn has been in a battle with USA. Their catcher also got hurt in a plate collision - I hope she's okay.

I think UGA, LSU and Tennessee advance, I don't like A&M's chances though (but both LSU and UGA appear to be coming back from being on the elimination side, so hope is not lost). MSU is on life support.
