Florida will take on Virginia Friday night at 6 p.m.

In the Gators side of the bracket, they are the only SEC team with Virginia, TCU and Oral Roberts.

 LSU came out of Baton Rouge Super Regional after defeating the Kentucky Wildcats and Tennessee made it out of the Hattiesburg Super Regional by winning the backend of the three-game series over Southern Mississippi.
