The Cliff will be packed to the rim for the regional action. It’s just the second time in the program’s history that Kentucky will host a regional. What better way to wrap up the lifetime of Cliff Hagan Stadium than to go out with a regional victory. Be sure that you’re there to see it go down.
Don't wait, get your tickets now. Our guys are counting on you to come out to #TheCliff this weekend! #WeAreUK #BBN #RoadToOmaha https://t.co/czTZBa2NbR

NCAA Tournament Bracket
The rest of the bracket is spread out to fifteen other regional sites. The road to Omaha is a long a weary one and the Kentucky Wildcats are ready to take the trip. Kentucky is the only team in the SEC that has not made a trip to the College World Series. This season looks to possibly be the year that Coach Mingione and his staff can take the Cats to the Midwest.
