With a number of games that wrapped up on Monday, the original 64-team field of the 2010 NCAA Division I Softball Championship has been pared down to the 16 squads that will face off in the Super Regionals. The winners of the eight three-game series will advance to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
Alabama (51-9) is the No. 1 seed in the tournament and riding a program record 27-game win streak. The Tide advanced to the next round of the tournament - the sixth consecutive time Bama has made it to the NCAA super regional - with a 5-2 victory over Atlantic Sun Conference champion Lipscomb on Sunday.
They will welcome the No. 16 seeded Rainbow Wahine of Hawai'i (47-13) this week in the NCAA Tuscaloosa Super Regional. Hawaii earned their way into the super regional with a 7-1 win over Texas Tech yesterday to win the Stanford Regional in Palo Alto, California.
The first game is slated for Thursday and will be televised on the ESPN family of networks (probably ESPNU). In addition to the Tide, three other SEC Teams remain in contention; No. 4 Florida (check out Alligator Army's coverage), No. 6 Georgia (check out Dawg Sports coverage) and No. 15 Tennessee (check out GoVolsExtra's coverage).
In a related note: Alabama set an attendance record for all the regional series with 7,140 fans on hand over the three-day event. The 2,647 fans who showed up at the Alabama Softball Complex on Saturday to see the tripleheader set the largest one-day record for the tournament as well.
In fact, the 71,424 fans attending home games in Tuscaloosa thus far this season has obliterated the previous single season total attendance record held by Fresno State (55,746).

Nice Kleph
The game will be at 5:30 on Friday and will be on ESPNU. I myself will be going to the game with the wife and baby before I duck out to do a little podcasery for wellthatscool.com. Is the bracket you posted how it works? I mean if we beat the rainbows we go up against Missouri. That got the best of us twice to start the season. I’d like to see take some revenge.
i’m not sure how the series matchups are set past the super regional.

I think...
The winners of the Super Regionals all go to the College World Series in OKC.

Yes
And if I remember correctly the seeds are by their rank. Basically there’s the regional>super-regional bracket, then a reset at the WCWS for a new bracket.

A Little Word of Caution
I love watching and cheering for our ladies of the diamond. There is more enthusiasm in their little fingers than some have in their whole bodies. They have fire and enthusiasm all during the game and they run hard all the time and never give up until the last out. I believe in them, but remember to never underestimate any team that has made it this far. Have we learned our lesson from football about La. and Utah? I hope so. Go out and play each game as if it was the NC game and there will be no problems. GO LADIES OF THE DIAMOND! Roll Tide.
NOOOO!!!!
We’re on the same side of the Bracket as UF; but, fortunately not on the same side as the Huskies. Is there some sort of lightning strike that could keep the Gators out of the WCWS?

Remember, the WCWS is re-seeded and played as double elimination. The brackets do not flow like the March Madness.

Then assuming there is no atomic-level meltdown
that would still put UF on our side right? (Unless they flip UW with UF or UM with UA)?

Bring it...
…it is more satisfying when you beat the best competition. May we make their pitcher cry.
Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
Latest ESPN schedule shows.....

This is off the Cox guide...
which has changed to:
Fri 5/28 Alabama v Hawaii ESPNU 5:30 CST
Sat 5/29 Alabama v Hawaii ESPN 4:00 CST
This makes more sense, #1 seed on ESPN in one of Saturday’s prime slots.
