NORMAN — Watch as Oklahoma softball coach Patty Gasso previewed the Sooners' upcoming regional on Wednesday. Following a successful run through the SEC Tournament that saw OU and Texas A&M end as co-champions, Oklahoma will host California, Omaha and Boston University in the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament at Love's Field.

Boston University had the most awkward reaction to its opening NCAA softball tournament matchup against the Oklahoma Sooners.

A favorite to return to the Women's College World Series, here are three reasons why OU softball will return to the WCWS and three why it won't.

For the second straight year, Oklahoma is headed to the NCAA Tournament as the No. 2-overall seed. Last year, the Sooners dropped the regular season series to Texas before avenging that loss to win the Big 12 Tournament.

The three-time reigning Patriot League champions drew into the four-team regional hosted by the four-time defending national champions.

Texas A&M softball's regional consists of Saint Francis, Marist and Liberty. Who poses the biggest threat to the Aggies?
