As is the custom in college baseball, the 16 host sites are announced the night before the full field of 64 is unveiled. Before the full field will be announced tomorrow on ESPNU, take a look at the 16 sites that will host a regional starting this Thursday.
The SEC and ACC tied for the most hosting sites with four. This was also the first year since 2012 that there will not be a team hosting a regional in the state of Kentucky. Louisville was competing for one of the final hosting spots but fell short of hosting their sixth consecutive regional. The Cards had to win the ACC Tournament Championship today to host a regional but fell short in an 11-8 loss to Florida State. There was not a real surprise in the list of hosting sites. There were only two or three spots that were not locked up prior to conference tournaments. Coastal Carolina, Texas, NC State took the final three hosting spots. Kentucky will know their fate tomorrow at noon ET. The Cats are projected as a three seed if they reach the field of 64. Of the sites announced this evening, UK could land potentially in Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Tallahassee, Minneapolis, Deland, or Clemson.The Road To Omaha starts here in 2018... The Regional Sites! ? https://t.co/ONHOZfCVGD pic.twitter.com/KPFbXm1YfU
