The Minnesota Gophers Softball team will begin its quest to prove the NCAA Softball Committee wrong Friday afternoon at 1:30 against Louisiana Tech in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The #16 seed Alabama Crimson Tide will play Albany at 4:00 in their first game. Not to slight Louisiana Tech or Albany, but by far the Gophers and Crimson Tide are the class of the regional. Its most likely that the Gophers will need to get past the Tide twice to advance to the Super Regionals, and vice versa for Alabama. To preview the Crimson Tide, we asked Cyndee Bowers of our Alabama blog Roll Bama Roll a few questions on the Alabama Softball team.
