“When we saw our name, the boys just erupted,” Ole Miss captain Tim Elko said. “We are just ready to get down to Miami. The feeling that we got when we got in was good.”
The Rebels are making their fourth-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament and will take on the Arizona Wildcats at 6 p.m. CT on ESPNU.

Ole Miss and the Wildcats faced on the diamond last season in the Super Regionals.
“(Arizona) ended our season last year, Elko said. “It’s a new year we are excited to get after them.”
The Rebels are traveling to Coral Gables for the first time since the 2008 regional.
The Coral Gables Regional is paired with the Hattiesburg Regional, hosted by the University of Southern Mississippi.
