I think it comes down to National Seeds.

If Dallas Baptist wins, LSU gets site 3 because it knocks out the #4 seed in the CST region.

Oregon/Kent St and UCLA/TCU or Ole Miss will get the late ones.

The defending champs, USC, will not get a primetime slot, Florida will though and will be playing on Sat-Mon.

Lucky for us, Arizona will lock up the Site 2 so we should get 3 or 4

So I guess here are my predictions.

Fri-Sun

Site 1 - 11 a.m., ESPN2; 11 a.m., ESPN2; Noon, ESPN2

Florida St/Stanford

Site 2 - 2 p.m., ESPN2; 2 p.m. ESPN2; 3 p.m. ESPN2

Arizona/St John's

Site 3 - 6 p.m., ESPN 2; 5 p.m., ESPN2; 6 p.m. ESPN2

LSU/Stony Brook or UCF

Site 4 - 8 p.m., ESPN; 8 p.m. ESPN2; 9 p.m. ESPN2

Oregon/Kent St

Sat-Mon
Site 5 - 1 p.m., ESPNU; Noon, ESPNU; Noon, ESPN2

Arkansas/Dallas Baptist (If Baylor wins, I think we might lost our Site 3 slot and be switched with this one)

Site 6 - 4 p.m. ESPNU 3 p.m.; ESPNU; 3 p.m. ESPN2

USC/Oklahoma or App St

Site 7 - 7 p.m., ESPNU 6 p.m., ESPNU; 6 p.m. ESPN2

Florida/NC St or Vandy

Site 8 - 10 p.m. ESPN2; 9 p.m. ESPNU; 6 p.m. ESPNU
