OXFORD, Miss. - Ole Miss (43-20) will host its second-straight NCAA Super Regional beginning on Saturday, when the Rebels will play host to the Miami Hurricanes (39-21) in a best of three series to be played at Oxford-University Stadium/Swayze Field.
All three games are slated for a 6 p.m. CDT start and will be televised by ESPN2 and ESPNU.
"We are excited to host our second-straight Super Regional," said Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco. "It's a tremendous accomplishment and has certainly been one of our goals this season. To host back-to-back Super Regionals and three-straight Regionals says a lot about where we are as a program."
The Rebels advanced to the Super Regional after claiming the NCAA Oxford Regional on Sunday with a 12-4 win over second-seeded Tulane. Ole Miss has been led in the post-season by several players including Regional MVP Justin Brashear and Mark Wright.
Wright has been hot for the Rebels in the post-season, claiming SEC Tournament MVP honors after breaking the tournament record for RBI with 13. He continued his record breaking performances with seven RBI to make him the single-season RBI leader all-time at Ole Miss with 72 RBI on the season.
