Knights to learn NCAA postseason fate on Monday

With the Conference USA Championship complete, the Knights are now playing the waiting game.

Since the Knights did not secure either the C-USA title or a host spot for the NCAA regional round, UCF has to wait until Monday to learn its NCAA postseason fate.

It is very likely that the Knights, who have a No. 18 RPI ranking, will be chosen as an at-large school among the field of 64 championship hopefuls.

Only one other C-USA team has a higher RPI ranking than the Knights, No.11 Rice. Besides Rice and UCF, only one other C-USA team holds a top-20 RPI ranking — Southern Miss (No. 20).

The NCAA baseball championships take place throughout June, starting with the regional round from June 3-6. The regional rounds, where UCF had placed a bid to be a host, will take place at 16 different host sites.

The 16 host sites were announced Sunday, and although the Knights did not receive a bid to play host during the regional round, two sites in Florida were announced: Florida (Gainesville) and Florida State (Tallahassee). The Knights will likely play their regional games at one of these locations.

The Knights swept Florida in their home-and-home series and took one out of three against the Seminoles in Tallahassee.

The regional rounds are followed by the super regionals from June 10-13 at eight different sites. Finally, the College World Series will take place from June 18-28/29 in Omaha, Neb., at TD Ameritrade Park.

The field of 64 teams will be announced live on Monday at 12:30 p.m. during ESPN's NCAA Selection Show.
