OXFORD | Ole Miss' stellar season will include at least one more weekend of home games.
Oxford and Swayze Field were selected as one of 16 regional host sites by the NCAA selection committee on Sunday night, giving the Rebels their seventh home NCAA regional since 2004.
Ole Miss (43-17, 18-12) went 3-1 at the SEC Tournament, beating Georgia, South Carolina and Vanderbilt before falling to Texas A&M in the Saturday semifinals. The Aggies beat Florida in the final on Sunday.
The Rebels are one of seven SEC host sites joining Florida, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and LSU. It's the most sites ever for one conference.
The ACC was also well represented with Louisville, Miami, Clemson, Virginia, North Carolina State and Florida State getting host nods. The other host teams are Texas Tech, Louisiana-Lafayette and TCU.
The eight national seeds and full 64-team bracket will be released Monday at 11 a.m. during a selection show on ESPNU. National seeds are guaranteed to play at home if they reach the super regional round and also can't be matched up with other top-eight teams until the College World Series.
With the deep run in Hoover and No. 5 RPI nationally, Ole Miss is a candidate for a national seed. It's believed that LSU, South Carolina and the Rebels are in consideration for a fourth SEC national seed. Florida, Texas A&M and Mississippi are expected locks.
Ole Miss has won five of the six regionals in Oxford and five in a row. The Rebels are 15-3 in home regionals and 15-1 since 2005.
