The 2016 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament began on Friday, June 3, 2016 as part of the 2016 NCAA Division I baseball season. The 64 team double elimination tournament will conclude with the 2016 College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, starting on June 18 and ending on June 29.[1]
The 64 participating NCAA Division I college baseball teams were selected out of an eligible 298 teams.[2] Thirty-one teams were awarded an automatic bid as champions of their conferences, and 33 teams were selected at-large by the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee.
Teams were divided into sixteen regionals of four teams, which conducted a double-elimination tournament. Regional champions face each other in Super Regionals, a best of three game series to determine the eight participants of the College World Series.[1]
The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) set a conference record and tied the all-time mark of having 10 teams in the championship field. [3] A tournament-high seven regional hosts came from the SEC, followed by six of the ten ACC schools; however, only Miami (ACC) and Florida (SEC) advanced to Omaha, and they were the first and second teams eliminated, respectively. Only 3 the top 8 national seeds reached Omaha, and with Texas Tech losing to Big 12 rival TCU, none of the three won their opening game in Omaha. For the first time since the tournament expanded from 48 teams in 1999, the NCAA did not select any Pac-12 schools to host a regional, and Lubbock, Texas was the westernmost regional host city picked by the selection committee [4]; however, Arizona and UCSB advanced to Omaha and were forced to face each other in the third elimination game.
