GAMEDAY OPEN THREAD: (1) Texas Tech vs. (4) Fairfield

The NCAA postseason is upon us. It's time to buckle in and prepare for a wild ride through what should be a difficult route to the College World Series. Texas Tech was the regular season champions, but several subpar defensive performances led to a very short Conference Tournament that saw the Red Raiders take losses to #4 seeded WVU and #5 seeded Oklahoma. Texas Tech starts off its Regional by playing Fairfield.

HOW TO WATCH: This game will be televised regionally (HAH) on ESPN 3. It's streaming on the internet here.
