NCAA Softball Tournament 2024: Super Regionals Bracket and Schedule Info
May 20, 2024
Fourteen of the top 16 teams in the NCAA softball tournament advanced through the regional round to next weekend's super regional round.
The top-seeded Texas Longhorns and No. 2 seed Oklahoma Sooners were among the teams who swept through their respective regional rounds from Friday to Sunday.
The Arizona Wildcats and Baylor Bears produced the only upsets of the weekend. Arizona beat fellow unseeded team Villanova in the Fayetteville regional in which No. 12 Arkansas lost twice in three games. Baylor upset No. 13 seed Louisiana in the regional final.
Each super regional is a best-of-three series that will take place between Friday and Sunday. The full schedule when released can be found on NCAA.com.
Super Regionals Bracket
No. 16 Texas A&M vs. No. 1 Texas
No. 9 LSU vs. No. 8 Stanford
Arizona vs. No. 5 Oklahoma State
Baylor vs. No. 4 Florida
No. 14 Alabama vs. No. 3 Tennessee
No. 11 Georgia vs. No. 6 UCLA
No. 10 Duke vs. No. 7 Missouri
No. 15 Florida State vs. No. 2 Oklahoma
Texas backed up its No. 1 seed with a dominant weekend in Austin.
The Longhorns outscored opponents 26-2 and pitched a pair of shutouts, one in the opener against Siena and one in the regional final versus Northwestern.
Texas will be favored to advance to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, but it could be locked in a battle with old rival Texas A&M.
A&M had an equally as dominant weekend with a pair of shutouts as well, but maintaining that same level against the top seed in the tournament will be more difficult.
Three-time reigning national champion Oklahoma will have a familiar foe come to its home for the super regionals as well.
The Sooners take on Florida State, who it beat twice in the WCWS championship series in 2021 and 2023.
Both the Sooners and Seminoles scored five or more runs twice in three regional games, so that may be one of the higher-scoring super regional matchups.
Arizona and Baylor will try to continue their upset-minded runs on the road. The Wildcats visit Oklahoma State, who allowed three runs in the regional round. The Bears make the trip to face Florida, the No. 4 seed who put up 24 runs this weekend.
The other super regional showdowns could be decided by only a few runs because they pit seeded teams against each other.
The must-watch matchup could be No. 10 Duke versus No. 7 Missouri. Duke won the ACC, but it was robbed of a top eight seed when the bracket came out. The Blue Devils are the toughest opponent on paper that a host faces next weekend.
