INDIANAPOLIS -- The field of 64 teams competing for the 2006 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship was announced today by the NCAA.

The national top eight seeds are Clemson (47-14), Rice (50-10), Texas (40-19), Alabama (41-19), Cal St. Fullerton (43-13), Nebraska (42-15), Georgia (41-19) and Georgia Tech (45-16).

The Southeastern Conference leads all conferences in the number of teams in the championship field with eight, followed by the Atlantic Coast and Big 12 with seven each. The Pacific-10 and Conference USA have four teams each.

Twenty-nine of the 64 teams were not in the field last year, including Lehigh (AQ), UNC Asheville (AQ), Prairie View (AQ), San Francisco (At-Large) and Sacred Heart (AQ), making the championship for the first time. Manhattan was last in the field in 1957, while St. Louis is in the field for the first time since 1966 and Ball State’s last appearance was 1969.

Miami (Fla.) is in the field for the 34th consecutive year, extending its own record. Florida St. is making its 29th straight appearance, second all-time. Other long consecutive streaks: Clemson (20), Cal St. Fullerton (15), Stanford (13) and Rice (12).

Of the 285 championship eligible Division I institutions which sponsor baseball, Rice has the most Division I wins with 49. Twenty-five other teams won at least 40 Division I contests and 24 are in the field.

Each of the 16 regionals features four teams, playing a double-elimination format. The regionals are scheduled to be conducted from Friday, June 2, to Monday, June 5. Selection of the eight super regional hosts will be announced on www.ncaasports.com, Monday, June 5 at approximately Midnight (ET).

The 60th Men’s College World Series begins play Friday, June 16, at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska.

Tulane's head coach, Rick Jones, will never leave. In 2001, he was approached about the head coaching job at his alma mater, Georgia Tech, and he turned them down.

We have a coach for life.

"...I thought I would offer congrats since it appears you are a Mississippi girl."


Thank you very much!
You would be right in that I was born, raised, and still have my family in Mississippi.


"Ugh MISS State, Ole Myth(and wins the SEC Tournament), Southern Miss all in the the NCAA regionals and LSU out for the first time in 17 years."


Wow!
LSU is ALWAYS in the regionals!
I'm sorry to hear that.

I lived in Baton Rouge before I lived in New Orleans.
My husband worked on his MBA at LSU.
I never went to an LSU football game, though.
Tiger stadium is very unique.
The atmosphere is very electrically charged.
Being an Ole Miss fan, I was afraid to attend. ;o)


"This is an sign of the Apocalypse"


LOL!
I don't think it's as bad as all that.
Though, it doesn't hurt that State has friends in high places. ;o)
