The 2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament gets underway this Friday with 32 games featuring some of the top teams in the sport. The second game in the Baton Rouge Regional will feature the Rice Owls and the Southeastern Louisiana Lions.
The second seeded Owls come into the tournament with a record of 35-22 and fell short of winning the Conference USA tournament title last weekend, losing to Southern Miss. Rice comes into the tournament in a bit of a slump, losing eight of their last 12 games and having a 2-2 record against teams in the NCAA tournament field over the span (Southern Miss and Florida Atlantic).
