2023 NCAA softball tournament: 12 SEC squads crack Field of 64
SEC softball is the standard across the country for a reason.
The 2023 NCAA Tournament selection show revealed that 12 SEC softball programs cracked the Field of 64 Sunday. Of those 12, 5 will host Regionals as No. 1 seeds: Tennessee (4), LSU (10), Alabama (5), Arkansas (11) and Georgia (14). Mississippi State was the only SEC team that did not crack the field. Of course, Vanderbilt does not have a softball program.
The Regionals are set to start on Friday, May 19 and will run through Sunday, May 21. The Super Regionals are scheduled to be played Thursday, May 25 through Sunday, May 28. The Women’s College World Series starts on June 1 and finishes June 9th.
Below is a list of all No. 1 seeds, which will each host Regionals. Oklahoma, no surprise at 51-1, is the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament:
