UVA was a 3-seed in its regional, the lowest of the seeds to make it to Omaha. Arkansas was a 2-seed. Everyone else was a 1-seed in their respective regionals. Why do UVA and Arkansas draw each other?

Matchups are based on the original bracket

Virginia came out of the Super Regional that the No. 1 national seed, UCLA, would've hosted had Maryland not eliminated them. Arkansas won a Super Regional over the No. 8 national seed, Missouri State; Arkansas got to host because the Bears share their home stadium with a minor league club which was at home last weekend.

Had all top 8 national seeds made it to Omaha, it would've been UCLA-Mo. State (1-8), LSU-TCU (2-7), Louisville-Illinois (3-6) and Florida-Miami (4-5). The LSU-TCU and UF-UM matchups held, but Cal State Fullerton and Vanderbilt won Super Regionals on the road and will play each other.
