Tennessee baseball versus Arkansas 2025 Fayetteville Super Regional game times, TV
No. 14 national seed Tennessee (46-17) will begin NCAA Tournament super regional play on Saturday. The Vols will play a best-of-three series, Friday-Monday, in the Fayetteville Super Regional, hosted by No. 3 national seed Arkansas (46-13).
Game 1 between the Vols and Razorbacks is scheduled for 5 p.m. EDT on Saturday and will be televised by ESPN. The second game will take place Sunday at 3 p.m. EDT (ESPN), while first pitch for Monday's if necessary series finale is to be determined.
Arkansas won a regular-season series finale against Tennessee, 2-1, May 15-17, at Baum-Walker Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
'I've talked to those guys before all this started, but I didn't know it was complete," Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello said of playing at Arkansas again. "When you're in the backyard, at least the neighborhood I grew up in, it was still everybody meets out on the street and you play a bunch of games, and whenever I lost, maybe my dad did it to me, I was kind of a little punk, but I always wanted to run it back. Let's redo it.
"So, at the very least, my first reaction is we want to be playing this time of year, as does anybody that's left. I don't know if any other games are still going on. I haven't followed much of that stuff, but it's a blessing to be playing and this team has been confident going on the road, but at the very least they get a chance to redo the thing."

Kansas Basketball's 5-Star Commit Catches Attention on Wednesday
Kansas Basketball's 5-Star Commit Catches Attention on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas entered the NCAA Tournament in March as a No. 7 seed in the West Region but fell to No. 10 seed Arkansas, 79-72, in the first round, ending a campaign that fell short of preseason expectations (21-13 overall, 11-9 in Big 12). Advertisement Following the loss to Arkansas, Bill Self's program saw a lot of turnover, leaving the Jayhawks with only a handful of returners slated to suit up in 2025-26. Thus, the staff made it clear that freshmen would be asked to fill significant roles next fall. Among the newcomers is five-star high school recruit Darryn Peterson. On Wednesday, Kansas men's basketball took to X to post a brief video clip of Peterson working out in the Allen Fieldhouse facility with the caption,"Your morning fix → Darryn Peterson. Kansas sure does look good on him. Rock Chalk 🔴🔵 ". Within minutes, the post garnered thousands of views and comments. Advertisement "So excited to watch this years team run the big 12 🔥🔥😤," replied one user. "Yes Fast Tempo on offense and in your face athletic defense. #rockchalk," said another fan. "We finally have a team that can make a three?," one other fan joked. "The passing. SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL," commented another user. "Half this spoiled fanbase better be writing some apology's to the goat come November," another commenter replied. Another fan simply responded, "NPOY."

Obstruction rule creates Women's College World Series more controversy in Texas win
Rules and the application of those rules have gotten out of hand in collegiate athletics. In the fall, we're constantly debating what is and isn't targeting. In the spring, it's the obstruction rule in softball. The application of the rule has been incredibly inconsistent and often misapplied by umpires throughout the sport. It was once again poorly applied in game one of the Women's College World Series championship series between Texas and Texas Tech. With one out in the top of the fifth inning and the score tied at zero, Texas Tech's Logan Halleman attempted to steal second base. She was initially ruled out, and she was out by a mile, but on review, the umpiring crew overturned the call based on obstruction. The argument was that the short stop's foot was in the baseline. However, Leighann Goode received the ball just as Halleman was beginning her slide into second. Goode applied the tag more than a foot away from the base and did so without any other part of her body coming into contact with Halleman. There's literally no better way to play that than the way Goode did. But, just for reference, here is the obstruction rule from the NCAA. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle "The change is intended to simplify the rule covering when a defensive player impedes the progress of any runner who is legally running bases on a live ball. "Under the revised rule, it is obstruction if the defensive player, while not in possession of the ball, does the following: Blocks any part of the leading edge of first, second or third base or home plate. Otherwise blocks the runner from advancing or returning to a base. "However, defensive players will not be called for obstruction if they are in possession of the ball or if they are making a legitimate reaction to the trajectory of the ball after it is thrown. Additionally, if in the umpire's judgment the runner would have clearly been out, then obstruction is ignored." Later in the inning, Texas Tech took a 1-0 lead on a two-out single from Mihiya Davis. Could it be argued that it was obstruction? Sure. However, that's not the spirit of obstruction. The idea behind obstruction was to protect the players. Goode did that on her own with the way she received the ball on the stolen base attempt. She wasn't blocking the base. She wasn't preventing Halleman from reaching second. And it was clear that Halleman was out. This isn't what obstruction was intended for. It ultimately didn't matter as Texas scored two in the bottom of the sixth to take the lead and win game one. However, it very well could have mattered. That could have been the second out of the inning, which may have prevented Tech from taking the 1-0 lead. Texas got the last laugh as the Longhorns Softball X (formerly known as Twitter) took a jab at the obstruction call. And it isn't just this game. Obstruction has been front and center throughout the NCAA Tournament, getting in the way of some key moments in games. As Patty Gasso called for the NCAA to look into the way they handle the Women's College World Series semifinal schedule, there should be a call from coaches everywhere to overhaul or get rid of the obstruction rule altogether.
