Ole Miss Baseball Makes NCAA Tournament, Prepares To Get Slaughtered By Miami

"Hey, did you hear we got screwed?"

After a Memorial Day weekend that saw the Diamond Rebels overachieve in the SEC tourney all the way to a championship-loss to LSU, the Rebels awoke Tuesday morning to the harsh reality of the NCAA tournament.

Ole Miss, seeded 3rd of 4 in their region, were placed in Miami's regional, the #1 team in the tournament.

The bracket looks like this:

(1) Miami (47-8) (4) Bethune-Cookman (36-20)
(3) Mississippi (37-24) (2) Missouri (38-19)

The winner of the region advances to the super-regional, most likely against Michigan or Arizona.

Its not an impossible road for the Rebels, as their last-seeded squad defeated the #1 team in the SEC tourney (UGA). But it certainly isn't the best matchup, and the Rebels better hope that Bethune-Cookman can pull out a USC-Stanford level upset.
