Arkansas and Tennessee face off in perhaps the most anticipated super regional of the NCAA baseball tournament. Graham Doty, Jay Greeson and Chris Lee discuss and give their predictions. Arkansas, led by coach Dave Van Horn, comes in as one of the tournament’s hottest teams, and comes off a spectacular weekend with starter Gage Wood and reliever Gabe Gaeckle combining for 20 strikeouts in an 8-3 win over Creighton in the regional final. Zach Root should be the Razorbacks' other starter after going in Game 2 last weekend. The Razorbacks also threw a number of talented a Landon Beidelshies, Aidan Jimenez, Parker Coil and others and have enough depth that it left quality pieces like Will McIntyre parked in the garage. Tennessee coach Tony Vitello’s circle of pitching trust seems to be narrowing, as the Vols' four-game regional included multiple appearances from Liam Doyle (135 total pitches), AJ Russell (91), Dylan Loy (36) and Brandon Arvidson (113), with Brayden Krenzel, Austin Breedlove, Andrew Behnke, Nate Snead and Tanner Franklin firing single relief outings in addition to starter Marcus Phillips, who managed 98 pitches in his start. Arkansas' hallmark in its lineup is star power (SEC player of the year Wehiwa Aloy) combined with its balance (starters Charles Davalan, Kuhio Aloy, Cam Kozeal, Brent Iredale, Ryder Helfrick, Logan Maxwell and Justin Thomas all had good offensive seasons). Tennessee’s offense is led by future pros Andrew Fischer (who may be the SEC’s toughest out) and Gavin Kilen, while freshman Levi Clark came on late in the season and also has to be feared. The Vols have had defensive issues but Hunter Ensley offers a steady presence in center field as well as a reliable bat.
