Texas Baseball: Longhorns miss out on hosting a regional

Texas baseball will hit the road for a regional.

The NCAA selection committee announced the 16 regional host sites for next week’s NCAA Tournament.

Texas was not picked as one of the top 16 national seeds for the first time since 2019. The Longhorns will learn on Monday afternoon where they are traveling for a regional.

Recent projections have Texas going out west to Stanford or to SEC territory in Auburn.

A disappointing performance at the Big 12 Tournament doomed Texas’ hosting chances. The 0-2 showing dropped the Longhorns RPI six spots as others on the hosting bubble helped their resumes.

If Texas wants to make it three straight appearances to the Men’s College World Series, it must win a road regional in a hostile environment. The last time Texas advanced to the super regionals outside of Austin was in 2014.

Here is a complete look at every hosting site across the country.
