Arizona (44-20) will play Louisville (40-23) at 11 a.m. PT Sunday, the first step in what would be a tremendously steep climb to stay alive in the series. The Wildcats would have to win four in a row to reach the championship series, with three of those on consecutive days.

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and Arizona Wildcasts hope to start off their runs in Omaha on the right foot, as they both open their NCAA Men’s College World Series schedules on Friday afternoon.
