After finishing the Tallahassee regional 3-0, the Seminoles are two wins away from returning to Omaha in Link Jarrett’s second season.
Technically they received a break as the No. 1 seed in the Norman regional (the Oklahoma Sooners) fell, but UConn is not an average No. 3.
The Huskies fended off elimination on Monday night, winning two games against Oklahoma and one against Duke to advance to their second super-regional in three years. Jim Penders, in his 20th season at the helm in Connecticut, led his team to its sixth straight NCAA tournament and a Big East regular-season title.
