The Hoos open the CWS against a familiar foe. The Hoos faced the Razorbacks twice in last year's Charlottesville Regional. They even faced the Hogs' likely started, Trey Killian. How do the two teams match up this year?
The Hoos play in Game 1 of the 2015 CWS, on Saturday at 3PM. Their opponent is the Arkansas Razorbacks. Arkansas entered the NCAA tournament #34 in RPI, but ranked in the top 20 of the polls. They were the 2 seed in the Oklahoma State regional, and swept through it, scoring 19 runs in 3 games. They then hosted a super-regional against Missouri State, and completed that by winning a game 3 by a 3-2 score.
