CORAL GABLES, Fla.—Arizona will face a familiar foe in its NCAA Tournament opener when it takes on the Ole Miss Rebels on Friday night at Alex Rodriguez Park.
The Wildcats (37-23) took two of three games from the Rebels (32-22) last season in a Super Regional at Hi Corbett Field, advancing to the College World Series. Quite a bit has changed for both teams since then, as the UA lost its coach to LSU and Ole Miss had to sweep that same coach on the road in May in order to sneak into the NCAA field.
