<p>Saturday's edition of the US Open features several compelling story lines, from Phil Mickelson's struggles, Tiger's run at his first major championship since 2008, to 17 year-old amateur Beau Hossler starting Saturday tied for ninth place and four shots back.</p>

<p>After yesterday's surgical -1 opening round, Tiger Woods spoke about <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jun/14/us-open-2012-tiger-woods-mickelson?newsfeed=true">the difficulty of playing The Olympic in the afternoon</a> once it has had a chance to dry and firm up. Today we'll see if he also will struggle after a later tee time as did Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, and Lee Westwood.</p>

<p>The second round of the 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament kicks off today with the Super Regional round. Unfortunately, there won't be any teams from the Houston area playing, as Rice, Prairie View A&M, and Texas A&M all were eliminate last week. While disappointing, the half-full view says that Houston area college baseball fans now have plenty of teams that they can root against. </p>
<p>Half of the teams in this double elimination round will start play today in a Friday-Saturday-Sunday format, while the other half will play Saturday-Sunday-Monday. All games will be on some form of ESPN, and the third game will obviously only be played if necessary (all gametimes are ET).</p>
<p><b>LSU (46-16) vs Stony Brook (50-12)</b></p>
<p>Location: Baton Rouge, LA</p>
<p>Gametimes: Friday, noon ESPN2</p>
<p> Saturday, noon ESPN2</p>
<p> Sunday, 1 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>LSU swept their regional last week, beating Oregon State 6-5 in 10 innings for the championship. The Tigers feature the nation's leading hitter in Raph Rhymes, who is hitting .452, and solid starting pitching. Stony Brook won the Coral Gables regional as a four-seed, after going 21-3 in conference play. They boast a .336 team batting average, and scored ten or more runs in four of their five games in Coral Gables. They'll need their bullpen to step up big time in order to win this weekend. </p>
<p>Prediction: LSU in two</p>
<p><b>UCLA (45-14) vs TCU (40-20)</b></p>
<p>Location: Los Angeles</p>
<p>Gametimes: Friday, 9 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p> Saturday, 9 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p> Sunday, 10 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>The Bruins have won 14 of their last 15 and seven in a row, including a three game sweep of their regional last week. TCU won the College Station Regional in five games. Their normally subdued bats got hot last weekend, even scoring 28 against Dayton.</p>
<p>Prediction: UCLA in two</p>
<p><b>Florida State (46-15) vs Stanford (41-16)</b></p>
<p>Location: Tallahassee, FL</p>
<p>Gametimes: Friday, 7 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p> Saturday, 6 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p> Sunday, 7 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>The Seminoles allowed four runs in three games during their sweep of the Tallahassee Regional last week. Stanford also swept their regional last week. These two teams are very evenly matched, and Mike Martin (FSU) and Mark Marquess (Stanford) are the third and fourth winningest active coaches, respectively.</p>
<p>Prediction: FSU in three</p>
<p><b>Arizona (41-17) vs St John's (40-21)</b></p>
<p>Location: Tucson, AZ</p>
<p>Gametimes: Friday, 3 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p> Saturday, 3 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p> Sunday, 4 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>Arizona features a deadly offense that averages 7.5 runs per game and scored 47 runs in three games in their regional last week. St John's has won seven in a run, including a sweep of the Chapel Hill Regional as a three-seed.</p>
<p>Prediction: Arizona in two</p>
<p><b>South Carolina (43-17) vs Oklahoma (42-23)</b></p>
<p>Location: Columbia, SC</p>
<p>Gametimes: Saturday, 8 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Sunday, 7 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Monday, 7 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>The Gamecocks swept their regional last week behind a solid starting rotation and an offense that is great at manufacturing runs. They have won 19 straight NCAA Tournament games. Oklahoma swept the Charlottesville Regional and has won seven of their last nine.</p>
<p>Prediction: South Carolina in two</p>
<p><b>Oregon (45-17) vs Kent State (44-17)</b></p>
<p>Location: Eugene</p>
<p>Gametimes: Saturday, 11 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Sunday, 10 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Monday, 7 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p>The Ducks are hosting their first Super Regional in program history. They swept their regional last week. Kent State has won 20 in a row, including a sweep of the wild Gary Regional last week.</p>
<p>Prediction: Kent State in three</p>
<p><b>Florida (45-18) vs NC State (43-18)</b></p>
<p>Location: Gainsville, Florida</p>
<p>Gametimes: Saturday, 2 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Sunday, 1 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Monday, 1 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>The Gators cruised to a three game sweep of their regional in Gainesville last week, allowing only 5 runs total while scoring 25. The Gators had eight players drafted in this week's MLB draft, and seven of those went in the first nine rounds. NC State beat Vanderbilt on Monday in the regional championship by scoring three runs in the ninth inning. The Wolfpack averaged 11.2 runs per game in regional play, so the Gators will have to pitch well in order to make it to Omaha. </p>
<p>Prediction: Florida in two</p>
<p><b>Baylor (48-15) vs Arkansas (42-19)</b></p>
<p>Location: Waco, TX</p>
<p>Gametimes: Saturday, 5 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Sunday, 4 p.m. ESPNU</p>
<p> Monday, 4 p.m. ESPN2</p>
<p>After a surprising loss to Oral Roberts to start regional play, Baylor came back to win in five games. Arkansas doesn't score many runs, but their pitching is excellent at times, and that helped them sweep the Rice regional last week.</p>
<p>Prediction: Baylor in three</p>

<p>Aggie baseball fans could have several theories about why they were <a href="http://www.chron.com/sports/college-baseball/article/Crichton-leads-TCU-past-Texas-A-M-10-2-3605927.php">quickly and unceremoniously </a>eliminated from tournament play this past weekend- an offense that only once scored over 4 runs in the postseason, facing a TCU team that decided to start hitting home runs out of nowhere, or being on the unlucky end of awful, awful officiating by the umpires in College Station (it was almost impressive how horrible they were over the entire weekend).</p>↵<p>One possible explanation, though, and the one that could have a huge impact on their opening season in SEC play next year, is their success against the top RPI teams they played.</p>↵<p>Based on <a href="http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2012/schedule/Texas-AM">Warren Nolan's current RPI rankings</a>, Texas A&M went a gentleman's 1-8 this season against teams in the Top 25 RPI. It's hard to have a deep post season run when you struggle against quality opponents.</p>↵<p>And what of their future conference brethren? How many of them are highly-ranked RPI teams that A&M will need to beat?</p>↵<p>Well, not good news for A&m. Eight of the current twelve teams are in the Top 25.</p>↵<p>Aggies, it's time to start beating good teams.</p>

<p>The first round of the 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament is over, and sixteen teams are still alive on the road to Omaha. Last week we gave you <a href="http://houston.sbnation.com/2012/6/1/3055868/2012-ncaa-baseball-regionals-predictions-sleepers-and-upsets">our predictions for the first weekend</a>, so let's check on those and see how we did (Answer: NOT GOOD!)</p>
<p><b>Gainsville Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Florida</p>
<p>Winner: Florida</p>
<p><b>Los Angeles Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: UCLA</p>
<p>Winner: UCLA</p>
<p><b>Tallahassee Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Mississippi State</p>
<p>Winner: Florida State</p>
<p>Yeah, uh, that one didn't work out so well. MSU went 1-2 and the Noles swept in three games.</p>
<p><b>Waco Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Baylor</p>
<p>Winner: Baylor</p>
<p><b>Eugene Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Oregon</p>
<p>Winner: Oregon</p>
<p><b>Chapel Hill Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: North Carolina</p>
<p>Winner:St John's</p>
<p>UNC went 2-2, and three-seed St John's swept in three games.</p>
<p><b>Baton Rouge Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: LSU</p>
<p>Winner: LSU</p>
<p><b>Columbia Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: South Carolina</p>
<p>Winner: South Carolina</p>
<p>The Gamecocks have won an NCAA-record nineteen postseason games in a row.</p>
<p><b>Charlottesville Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: UVA</p>
<p>Winner: Oklahoma</p>
<p>Appalachian State made an exciting run at winning the regional, but the Sooners managed to pull it out.</p>
<p><b>College Station Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Texas A&M</p>
<p>Winner: TCU</p>
<p>The Texas A&M arms were still good for the most part, but they didn't get much help from their offense and went 1-2.</p>
<p><b>Coral Gables Regional</b></p>
<p>Winner: Miami</p>
<p>Winner: Stony Brook</p>
<p>OOOF. Getting bounced from your own regional in two straight losses is downright embarrassing. Hot-hitting four-seed Stony Brook beat UCF to win the round.</p>
<p><b>Gary Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Kentucky</p>
<p>Winner: Kent State</p>
<p>Yeah, I was wrong on this one. So was everybody else. We all agree the Big Ten doesn't baseball well.</p>
<p><b>Houston Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Rice</p>
<p>Winner: Arkansas</p>
<p>Another 1-2 performance by a regional host. How hospitable of you!</p>
<p><b>Stanford Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Stanford</p>
<p>Winner: Stanford</p>
<p><b>Raleigh Regional</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Vanderbilt</p>
<p>Winner: NC State</p>
<p>Hey! The ACC finally won another one! Way to go, guys!</p>
<p><b>Tucson Reginal</b></p>
<p>Prediction: Arizona</p>
<p>Winner: Arizona</p>
<p>That gives us a record of 8-8 predicting regional winners, which means BET ALL OF YOUR MONEY BASED ON OUR PREDICTIONS!</p>
<p>We'll be back tomorrow to look at everything you need to know for Super Regional matchups.</p>

<p>NCAA Regionals start today, which means <INSERT QUOTE FROM EVERY COACH IN AMERICA ABOUT "THE SEASON STARTS OVER" HERE>. And what fun would a new year of tournament play be without completely accurate, 100% reliable predictions?</p>
<p>Today we're predicting winners for all regionals, letting you know what teams could make a run, who could be sent home earlier than planned, plus a bunch of other vital regional information.</p>
<p><b>Gainsville Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Florida (42-18) (#1 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 Georgia Tech (36-24)</p>
<p>#3 College of Charleston (37-20)</p>
<p>#4 Bethune-Cookman (34-25)</p>
<p>Winner: Florida. Despite a disappointing performance in the SEC Tournament last week, this is a very good ballclub. The Gators lead the country in home runs, and are tenth in team ERA.</p>
<p><b>Los Angeles Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 UCLA (42-14) (#2 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 San Diego (41-15)</p>
<p>#3 New Mexico (36-22)</p>
<p>#4 Creighton (26-28)</p>
<p>Winner: UCLA. The Bruins have won 13 of their last 15, including wins over Pepperdine, Cal State Fullerton, and Purdue. They should win their regional pretty easily.</p>
<p><b>Tallahassee Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Florida State (43-15) (#3 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 Mississippi State (39-22)</p>
<p>#3 Samford (39-21)</p>
<p>#4 UAB (32-28)</p>
<p>Winner: Mississippi State. When regionals come around it's better to be hot than good, and the Bulldogs have won six of seven and are 10-5 in May. They are also fourth in the country with a team ERA of 2.58. The Noles in May? 7-8 and have lost three in a row.</p>
<p><b>Waco Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Baylor (44-14) (#4 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 Dallas Baptist (39-17)</p>
<p>#3 Texas-Arlington (36-23)</p>
<p>#4 Oral Roberts (37-23)</p>
<p>Winner: Baylor. To immediately contradict myself, Baylor has been up and down over the last few weeks, but they have been playing teams much better than the ones in their regional. Texas-Arlington did beat the Bears 5-4 in March, and have won midweek games over Oklahoma, TCU, and Texas A&M.</p>
<p><b>Eugene Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Oregon (42-17) (#5 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 Cal State Fullerton (35-19)</p>
<p>#3 Indiana State (41-17)</p>
<p>#4 Austin Peay (38-22)</p>
<p>Winner: Oregon. Here's some fun facts: the last time Oregon hosted postseason baseball was 1954, and this is their first national seed in program history. Not bad for not even having a team five years ago. The Ducks don't score a lot of runs, but they have excellent pitching, allowing only 7.19 hits/9 innings, which is second in the country.</p>
<p><b>Chapel Hill Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 North Carolina (44-14) (#6 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 East Carolina (35-22-1)</p>
<p>#3 St John's (37-21)</p>
<p>#4 Cornell (31-15-1)</p>
<p>Winner: North Carolina. The Tarhells have won 15 of 16, and have won those games by an average of almost five runs. They're doin' work.</p>
<p><b>Baton Rouge Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 LSU (43-16) (#7 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 Oregon State (38-18)</p>
<p>#3 Belmont (39-22)</p>
<p>#4 Louisiana-Monroe (31-28)</p>
<p>Winner: LSU. Going with the Tigers at Alex Box, but Oregon State will make them earn it. The Beavers swept Oregon last week, and have series wins over Stanford and UCLA. But with series wins at Florida and South Carolina, the Tigers thrive on the big stage.</p>
<p><b>Columbia Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 South Carolina (40-17) (#8 National Seed)</p>
<p>#2 Clemson (33-26)</p>
<p>#3 Coastal Carolina (41-17)</p>
<p>#4 Manhattan (33-25)</p>
<p>Winner: South Carolina. A mighty fine job by the selection committee making Clemson go to their national seed arch rival for postseason play. The Gamecocks shouldn't have a ton of trouble here.</p>
<p><b>Charlottesville Regional </b></p>
<p>#1 Virginia (38-17-1)</p>
<p>#2 Oklahoma (38-22)</p>
<p>#3 Appalachian State (39-16)</p>
<p>#4 Army (41-13)</p>
<p>Winner: UVA. Oklahoma will make them work for it, as the Sooners have been playing very good baseball over the past few weeks. The Cavalier bats should be able to keep Virginia alive to the next round, though.</p>
<p><b>College Station Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Texas A&M (42-16)</p>
<p>#2 TCU (36-19)</p>
<p>#3 Ole Miss (35-24)</p>
<p>#4 Dayton (31-28)</p>
<p>Winner: Texas A&M. The Aggie pitching staff is downright deadly, and neither TCU nor Ole Miss has the chops to overcome it. If they can get 4 or 5 runs from their offense, A&M can beat anybody in the country.</p>
<p><b>Coral Gables Regional </b></p>
<p>#1 Miami (36-21)</p>
<p>#2 UCF (43-15)</p>
<p>#3 Missouri State (39-20)</p>
<p>#4 Stony Brook (46-11)</p>
<p>Winner: Miami. This one could be very, very close. UCF and Miami split a pair of games in the regular season, and the Knights have played very solid baseball all season, but the Canes are just a few steps ahead of them.</p>
<p><b>Gary Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Purdue (44-12)</p>
<p>#2 Kentucky (43-16)</p>
<p>#3 Kent State (41-17)</p>
<p>#4 Valparaiso (35-23)</p>
<p>Winner: Kentucky. A lot of people expected Kentucky to get a host and #1 regional seed, as they were first in the SEC going into the last weekend. The Wildcats and Boilermakers are about on the same level, but Kentucky has played and beaten more quality opponents, so the scale tips in their favor.</p>
<p><b>Houston Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Rice (40-17)</p>
<p>#2 Arkansas (39-19)</p>
<p>#3 Sam Houston State (38-20)</p>
<p>#4 Prairie View A&M (28-33)</p>
<p>Winner: Rice. The Owls had an unexpectedly poor showing in the C-USA Tournament, but Arkansas has been trending downward for a while. Sam Houston could beat Arkansas and give Rice a good game Saturday, but they won't be able to hang on and upset them.</p>
<p><b>Stanford Regional</b></p>
<p>#1 Stanford (38-16)</p>
<p>#2 Pepperdine (34-21)</p>
<p>#3 Michigan State (37-21)</p>
<p>#4 Fresno State (30-26)</p>
<p>Winner: Stanford. The Cardinal and Pepperdine are pretty evenly matched, but Stanford has been more successful against quality opponents. Michgan State has a pretty good record, but baseball that far north is just a giant blob of awful.</p>
<p><b>Raleigh Regional </b></p>
<p>#1 NC State (39-17)</p>
<p>#2 Vanderbilt (33-26)</p>
<p>#3 UNC Wilmington (38-21)</p>
<p>#4 Sacred Heart (25-30)</p>
<p>Winner: Vanderbilt. NC State has been consistently good all season, but they're 5-5 in their last ten, and while they've beaten above average teams, they haven't been able to beat many of the great ones. Vandy, on the other hand has won 9 of 11 with two wins over Florida, two wins over LSU, and a win over South Carolina.</p>
<p><b>Tucson Regional </b></p>
<p>#1 Arizona (38-17)</p>
<p>#2 New Mexico State (35-22)</p>
<p>#3 Louisville (39-20)</p>
<p>#4 Missouri (32-26)</p>
<p>Winner: Arizona. The Aggies beat the Wildcats twice earlier in the season, but 'Zona has been consistently good against better competition over the course of the season. The Wildcats will survive the weekend.</p>
<p>Based on these predictions, your Super Regional matchups for next week would look like:</p>
<p>#1 Florida vs Vanderbilt</p>
<p>#2 UCLA vs Texas A&M</p>
<p>Stanford vs Mississippi State</p>
<p>#4 Baylor vs Rice</p>
<p>#5 Oregon vs Kentucky</p>
<p>#6 North Carolina vs Arizona</p>
<p>#7 LSU vs Miami</p>
<p>#8 South Carolina vs Virginia</p>
<p><b>I See You Creepin'</b></p>
<p>Every year there are a few teams that slide in the tournament under the radar, and then commence to raising hell. Here are some of the teams that could put it together and make a run towards Omaha:</p>
<p>- East Carolina</p>
<p>- Oklahoma</p>
<p>- Missouri State</p>
<p>- Pepperdine</p>
<p><b>Well That Certainly Ended Quickly</b></p>
<p>On the flip side, there are always teams that look like they could do some damage, only to flail around for two games and head home. This year's teams are:</p>
<p>- Florida State</p>
<p>- Clemson</p>
<p>- TCU</p>
<p>- Dallas Baptist</p>
<p><b>Let's Cheer For Them So That In 20 Years Disney Will Make A Movie About Them</b></p>
<p>There are three teams with losing records that made the tournament by virtue of winning their conference tournament and receiving an automatic bid. Cheer for them wholeheartedly, even though will probably get destroyed.</p>
<p>- Creighton</p>
<p>- Prairie View A&M</p>
<p>- Sacred Heart</p>
<p>Enjoy the tournament, everyone.</p>
