For those unfamiliar with the Regional format, there is a 4 team double-elimination tournament. The winner advances to the Super Regionals next week.

6/1 – vs #1 South Carolina/#4 Saint Louis 2:00 or 8:00
6/2 & 6/3 – if necessary
What a great run! Inspiring, encouraging, on and on. LU Basketball team-like. Looks like a great group of guys. It would be so cool to make some noise in the Regional and further push LU’s program up the ladder a bit.
I hope some LU fans will make to effort to travel to Columbia to support the team.Go #FlameTrain
