Today we’re talking about The NCAA Softball Tournament.
Mizzou Softball entered the week needing an extended run in the SEC Tournament to get a much-coveted top eight seed in the NCAA Tournament. For those unaware, the softball tournament works in a regional format, where the top seed hosts a group of four. The top seed in each regional — which moves to a “Super Regional” in the following round — has the opportunity to host. So top eight seeds are effectively guaranteed the opportunity to play all of their games at home for as long as they’re in the Tournament prior to the Women’s College World Series.
