Tough losses for the Illini and Arkansas but they should both be happy with their seasons. They both were better than expected and should have pretty good classes coming in for next season.

That Florida/Texas game will be fantastic. The longball Gators against the smallball Longhorns. The top bracket might have the 4 best teams in the tournament but you can't forget about South Carolina in the lower bracket. They lost a lot of pitching from their World Series team last year and lost their best hitter (Jackie Bradley Jr) to injury this year but they just keep on winning. I'm still going with Vandy.

Vandy won 7-3 over North Carolina. Sonny Gray wasn't great but the bullpen came in and slammed the door. Vandy moves to the winners bracket and will play the winner of Florida vs Texas which should be a fantastic game.

Florida defeated Texas 8-4 behind the pitching of Hudson Randall (11-3) and the hitting of Bryson Smith. Florida moves into the winners bracket and will play Vandy for the 5th time this season (Florida is 3-1).

Texas goes to the losers bracket and will play North Carolina in an elimination game.

The White Sox drafted 3 players from Cal. Starting pitcher Erik Johnson (2nd), shortstop Marcus Simien (6th) and catcher Chadd Krist (13th).

Virginia defeated Cal 4-1. The Cavaliers move into the winners bracket and will play the winner of South Carolina/Texas A&M. Cal goes to the losers bracket and will play the loser of that contest.

Damn and Virginia is lucky to be there.

I agree, Hawger.

South Carolina continues to roll along after defeating Texas A&M 5-4 on a game winning hit by 2B Scott Wingo in the bottom of the 9th. The Cocks move to the winners bracket and will play Virginia while Texas A&M will play Cal in an elimination game.

Todays games:

North Carolina vs Texas 1:00pm ESPN (elimination game)

Florida vs Vanderbilt 6:00pm ESPN2

The SEC is showing its power with 3 of the 4 wins.
