All 2010 NCAA Baseball Tournament teams will be announced later today

The 2010 NCAA Baseball Tournament teams and regional brackets will all help play into the equation for which eight teams will make it into the 2010 College Baseball World Series taking place at the end of June.

The long baseball season has finally come to a close, and the NCAA has chosen which 64 teams will play in the 2010 NCAA Baseball Tournament. The host cities for the regional games were announced on Sunday afternoon, which also revealed which schools would be playing host as the top 16 teams in the tournament. The rest of the field has to wait until Monday to find out their fate this season.

The 2010 NCAA Baseball Tournament will have its official press conference on Monday, May 31st beginning at 9:30 a.m. PST (12:30 p.m. EST) on ESPN. It is there during the live coverage that all 64 teams in the 2010 NCAA Baseball Tournament will be revealed for the first time. There are certainly some great teams that are just about guaranteed a spot in the tournament, but as with the NCAA Basketball brackets, it's always a tense time until that official invite is made to the school. Until Monday morning, we will only know the first 16 teams that qualified for the tournament by being the host cities in the first round.

The way that the 2010 NCAA Baseball Tournament will work is that 64 teams are split up into 16 groups of four teams each. Those four teams play in a regional location, where a double-elimination tournament will take place to advance one team into the Super Regional round of 16. There will be another double elimination series between two teams in eight cities during the Super Regional round, with the winners of each Super Regional advancing to the 2010 College Baseball World Series. It's sure to be another competitive tournament this year, and we look for the Pac-10 Conference to put quite a few tough teams into the field.
