Oklahoma Sooners Softball: OU enters NCAA Tournament as No. 1 seed, set to host regional

On Selection Sunday, Patty Gasso’s top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners learned that they will enter the 2021 NCAA Softball Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed in addition to hosting the Norman Regional for the tenth consecutive postseason on Friday, May 21.

Joining OU in the Norman Regional field this year will be the Morgan State Bears out of the MEAC, the Texas A&M Aggies out of the SEC and the Wichita State Shockers out of the AAC. As usual, each tier of the tournament will feature a double-elimination format, meaning a team will need to avoid two losses in order to advance to the following round.
