Mainstays Arizona (29-25) and Michigan (26-25) DNQ for the tournament. Arizona for the first time since 1986 and Michigan 1994. Both have introduced new head coaches within the last couple of seasons.

12 of 13 SEC teams made the field (Mississippi St (28-25)).
No other conference has more than 6 (ACC, Pac-12).

Oklahoma (51-1) has won 43 straight and are vying to become only the second team to 3-peat (UCLA 1988-90).
Baylor (39-16) is the lone team to beat Oklahoma this season (4-3).

There are two losing teams in this year's tournament--No Kentucky (23-29) and NC Central (19-33).

Regional hosts by conference:
SEC--5
Pac-12--4
ACC--3
Big XII--3
Big Ten--1

Arizona (29-25) and Oregon St (15-29-1) are the only two teams to DNQ that reached the WCWS last season.

Six teams are making their first appearance in the tournament--Eastern Illinois, George Mason, NC Central, No Colorado, No Kentucky, Omaha.

Four programs have made the last 3 WCWS (2019, 2021, 2022)...
Arizona (DNQ for 2023)
Oklahoma
Oklahoma St
UCLA (lost in 2023 regionals)

Hence, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St would be the only teams to make four consecutive WCWS.
