<\/p>\nAfter a dominant regular season that saw Texas Tech finish with the highest winning percentage in the country at 52-6 and a conference regular season championship, Tech earned a three seed in their quadrant and the No. 11 overall seed in the NCAA Softball Tournament during Sunday\u2019s selection show. They will host a NCAA Regional for the second straight year, welcoming Ole Miss, Marist and Boston University to Lubbock this weekend. <\/p>\n
\u201cSuper exciting night for our program,\u201d said Glasco. \u201cWe get to be at home for the regional, we are excited to get to work tomorrow morning.\u201d
Texas Tech will open Regional play at 3:30 CT on Friday against Marist. <\/p>\n

Initial Reaction To Texas Tech Draw<\/p>\n
While Texas Tech excelled in a number of metrics, they finished the regular season on a sour note with the shutout from Arizona State in the Big 12 title game and fell to 14th in the RPI. KPI still has them at 7 and DSR 9, but a lack of Top 10 RPI wins (1) is likely what kept them from claiming a top eight seed in the eyes of the committee. It\u2019s not an unfamiliar place to be for the Red Raiders however, as they made the World Series last season as the No. 12 overall seed, going on the road in the supers to beat Florida State. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the loss helps us more,\u201d said NiJaree Canady about falling in the Big 12 title game. \u201cIts hard to get better when you are winning all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe loss is making us want to work harder than we already do,\u201d followed her counterpart in the circle Kaitlyn Terry.<\/p>\n
Does Tech feel the committee underseded them compared to the polls all season having them in top 5? Glasco thinks it was fair based on what the committee has done and what works for 64 teams.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they did a great job, they always do,\u201d he said. \u201cThey have to seed in a manner that will fit the whole tournament equally, they have to stick to the formula. It\u2019s up to us to go on the road and play the best ball we can. No body can beat us on a day we play our best softball. This team is enormously talented its just a matter of being focused and all on the same page. When we are who we want to be we are a scary team and there is no team that wants to play us.\u201d<\/p>\n
