The Oxford Regional is widely recognized as the NCAA Tournament's "Group of Death." In one corner is the host school, the seventh-seeded team in their conference who finished fourth in their division. That team made the conference semifinals in what might be the nation's most talented conference, and they'll have the advantage of playing before a wild and raucous home crowd.
In another corner stands a regular season conference champion, a team that has something to prove after being ousted in their conference tournament. They're a baseball power from a mid-major league, and they bring with them a resume befitting anyone from a power league.
