While we are cheering for Trecey Rew in the NCAA Track and Field Championships, we have two former Demon head coaches to root for in the 16-team NCAA Super Regionals in baseball.
Dave Van Horn (NSU head coach 1995-97) and his Arkansas Razorbacks will try to make it back to the College World Series for a second straight year, but it's a tough road. They beat Washington State in Fayetteville to win their regional, and now must visit No. 1-ranked Arizona State in a best-of-three series beginning Saturday.
Arkansas (43-19) takes on the Sun Devils (50-8)at 8 Saturday night on ESPNU, at 9 Sunday night on ESPN2 and perhaps at 6 Monday evening on ESPN2.
Mitch Gaspard was the Demons head coach from 2002-07, and is in his first year in that capacity with Alabama. He's gotten the Crimson Tide to rise at the right time. They rode an eight-game win streak into the SEC Tournament finals, before falling to LSU, but surprised high-seeded Georgia Tech to win the Atlanta Regional Sunday.
Bama (41-23) visits Clemson (41-22) beginning Saturday. The first game is at 5 on ESPNU, then Sunday's game is at 6 on ESPN2 and if there's a third game, it will be either at noon or 6 Monday on ESPN2, pending other Super Regional results.
