Lacking a clever alliteration, the annual NCAA Baseball tournament doesn’t get as much publicity as its basketball counterpart. But have no doubt, June can be just as mad as March.
The madness is nearly ready to ensue with the tournament set to begin on June 2.
There have already been a number of surprises entering the tournament. The University of Miami failed to qualify for the tournament for the first time in 44 years, the longest such streak of any school, in any sport.
While schools live Davidson, and Florida Gulf Coast qualified for their first ever regional.

With the 64 team field ready to begin play, let the road to Omaha begin. The field will be cut down to 16 teams by the end of the regional round. Super-Regionals will run from June 9th-June 12th. The College World Series will begin on June 17-28 at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska.
The eight teams that remain will be split into two brackets at that point. Double elimination determines a winner for each bracket, who then play a best of three for the championship.
