The 2nd week of the NCAA Baseball Tournament is upon us and that means it is Super Regional time.

Unfortunately for the Sooner State, Oklahoma State got beat out last weekend in Tuscaloosa. However, after 2 amazing comebacks against the national #2 seed at Georgia Tech, Oklahoma advanced to the Super Regionals to face the national #15 seed, Kansas, this weekend.

Let’s take a look at each team.
