The Gopher Softball team has the best record in the nation, and won both the Big Ten regular season title and tournament. They were ranked the #7 team in the nation by the NCAA Committee a week ago. Yet, somehow when the NCAA Pairings were announced Sunday night, the Gophers were not given one of the top 16 seeds by the NCAA and will head to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for a four team regional this weekend.
I’ll be blunt. The Gophers just got straight up screwed by the NCAA. No Ifs. No Ands. No Butts. This is unbelievable.
The Gophers basically were ranked #17 by the NCAA as they are in the same regional as #16 seed Alabama.
