LSU, the pre-tournament favorite, advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA baseball tournament, but not without a sweat.

The Tigers (-1450) were down 5-1 after two innings, but rallied to beat an underdog Little Rock team 10-6 and win the Baton Rouge regional.

The SEC had a record 13 teams in the 64-team field, but will only put four in the super regionals, which are best-of-three series Friday-Monday.

>>Betting Splits (odds not posted as of 1 a.m. ET).

Matt Grissom of College Baseball Insiders is already working on a special betting guide to the super regionals, which you will find late Wednesday on our CWS hub page.

VSiN will be at broadcasting live from Omaha when the College World Series begins next week.
