The winner of the Miami Regional will face the winner of the Stanford Regional.  In addition to the host Cardinal, Texas A&M, San Jose State Spartans and Cal-State Fullerton are in that region.

Last season the Ragin’ Cajuns earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament by winning the Sun Belt Tournament.  This year, they had to wait until Sunday’s Selection Show to find out their fate.
