Some Tuscon, AZ Super Regional Predictions:
No. 12 Ole Miss (44-20) at No. 5 Arizona (43-15)
Aria Gerson, The Tennessean:
Ole Miss. What better way to continue the legend of Tim Elko and his one ACL?
Glenn Guilbeau, The Daily Advertiser:
Ole Miss. Coach Mike Bianco brings the best Skip Bertman imitation in America to Omaha once again.
Tyler Horka, The Clarion Ledger:
Arizona. Ole Miss' pitching in the postseason has been a pleasant surprise for the Rebels, but Arizona's No. 2 run-producing offense in the country will be too much for Ole Miss to handle.
Nick Suss, The Clarion Ledger:

Mike Wilson, Knoxville News Sentinel:
Arizona. The Wildcats smash the ball too well for Ole Miss to keep up.h
