Knoxville Super Regional
Notre Dame: Why not the Irish? Unseeded teams have proven especially dangerous to No. 1 overall seeds in super regionals, as 12 top seeds in the past 21 tournaments have been eliminated by an unseeded team, four of those in the supers. – Aria Gerson, The TennesseanTennessee: The Volunteers proved in their regional that they can both dominate and pull off a comeback. Their elite pitching and hitting will get them past an easy draw in Notre Dame. – Christina Long, Southwest Times Record
Tennessee: This Volunteers team is like a great Alabama football team: pick against it at your own risk. Notre Dame has the talent to keep up, but Tennessee's trip back to the College World Series feels inevitable. – Nick Suss, Jackson (Miss.) Clarion Ledger
Tennessee: The Vols were pushed in the regional by Campbell and Georgia Tech. That will serve them well moving forward toward Omaha. – Mike Wilson, Knoxville News Sentinel
