But no one can blame White if he\u2019s already living in the present, since his team hosts three squads during the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament’s Austin Regional<\/a>, including a dangerous Big Ten squad in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

So, why is almost every softball fan in the state of Texas \u2014 including virtually everyone that dons burnt orange \u2014 looking ahead to the Super Regional dates of May 21-24?<\/p>\n

Because if Texas (42-10) wins its own regional as the No. 2 overall seed<\/a> and Texas A&M<\/a> wins its Bryan-College Station Regional as the 15th overall seed, the two SEC teams would renew their blood rivalry in a three-game Super Regional series in Austin to determine a spot in the Women\u2019s College World Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a pretty good idea that was going to happen, you know?\u201d White said, familiar with the often-mischievous ways of the NCAA Tournament<\/a> Selection Committee. \u201cIt is what it is. We\u2019ve just got to focus on where we’re at in this first weekend and then worry about what’s going to happen later down the road. I think, if it does happen to come to fruition, it’s going to be a great series, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Texas and the Aggies were to meet in the Super Regionals, the series would mark a rematch of the squads\u2019 memorable matchup two years ago<\/a> at McCombs Field, which the Longhorns won 2-1.<\/p>\n

But White will worry about the Aggies next week, if needed. For now, he wants to retain the momentum that his squad found while rolling to three wins at this past weekend\u2019s SEC Tournament in Lexington, Ky. That trio of triumphs included a resounding 7-1 win in the title game over Alabama, the NCAA Tournament\u2019s No. 1 overall seed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe peaked at the right time,\u201d White said. \u201cWe had everything happening. Everybody was hitting throughout the lineup. And then the good pitching and defense. … We were able to contribute in a lot of ways, from a lot of people, both on offense and defense. I think absolutely that finishing with the championship made a big difference in our overall seed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Texas will open the NCAA Tournament Friday at 3 p.m. against Wagner, which is making its NCAA Tournament debut. The start\u00a0time is tentative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But no one can blame White if he\u2019s already living in the present, since his team hosts three…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[46014,66615,105358,27,64131,29,537,28703,28],"class_list":["post-287548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-college-softball","tag-dallas-sharing","tag-ncaa-softball-tournament","tag-texas","tag-texas-a-m-aggies-softball","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-softball","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
