Texas Tech is one of the surprises of the tournament this year. The Red Raiders came into the season not ranked, and that’s exactly how they ended it. However, when it was time to set their sights on Omaha, they flipped the switch.

"In coach Tim Tadlock’s second season at the helm, the Red Raiders smashed expectations. They were picked to finish eighth in the nine-team Big 12 in the preseason coaches’ poll, but they quickly caught the attention of the college baseball world by taking three of four from preseason No. 3 Indiana to open the season. They also won a series at TCU en route to a 14-10 showing in the Big 12 and a No. 2 seed in the Coral Gables Regional, where they went 2-1 against host Miami to reach their first super regional. Texas Tech then shut out College of Charleston in back-to-back 1-0 wins to reach Omaha for the first time in program history."

TCU, on the other hand, came into the season ranked 19th in the country and they finished up the regular season ranked within the top 10 at number nine and as one of the hottest teams in the land.

"After a 15-12 start, TCU has been the hottest team in college baseball, going 32-4 since the calendar flipped to April. The Frogs finished second in the Big 12’s regular-season standings behind Oklahoma State, then beat the Cowboys in the conference tournament championship game. They allowed just four runs in three games (over 42 grueling innings) in the Fort Worth Regional. Pepperdine pushed the Frogs to the brink in super regionals, but TCU scored two in the ninth to earn a thrilling come-from-behind victory in Monday’s series finale, getting them back to Omaha for the second time (the first since 2010)."
