The Arizona softball team will learn their postseason fate on Sunday when the Selection Show begins at 6 p.m. PT on ESPN2.
Based on media projections, they are a virtual lock to be a top-16 seed but on the outside looking in for a top-8 seed. That would mean Arizona would get to host the Regional round of the NCAA Tournament but have to go on the road for Super Regionals before (hopefully) heading to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series.
College Sports Madness projects the Wildcats as the No. 14 seed and
Final Regional Projections Has UL Softball Staying In-State
The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns are projected to be part of an in-state regional featuring four college softball teams from three different states for the 2021 NCAA Regionals.
Earlier this week, Hayden King of College Sports Madness projected Louisiana to play in the Baton Rouge Regional, along with LSU, Villanova, and Texas Southern.
Yes, a lot can still happen in the respective conference tournaments this week, but we are indeed coming down the home stretch, and these are the final projections before the field of 64 is announced on Sunday night.
The Cajuns are currently 40-10, overall, and 20-3 in Sun Belt Conference play.

If the season ended today, the Arizona softball team would more or less be a coin flip to earn one of those coveted top-8 national seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
The latest NFCA Coaches Poll, released Tuesday, has the Wildcats as the No. 7 team in the country, up two spots from the week before.
The other metrics aren’t so favorable. Arizona moved up two spots in the D1 Softball poll from No. 12 to No. 10 and check in at 11 in RPI. They are No. 10 in the USA Softball poll.
There is plenty of opportunity to keep climbing with a road series against Oregon and home series against UCLA rounding out Arizona’s regular-season schedule. The Ducks are No. 12 in the latest NFCA poll. The Bruins are No. 2.
