The No. 14 Indiana State Sycamores downed Iowa Sunday night to advance to the Super Regional round of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
On the other side of the bracket, Fayetteville Regional champ TCU downed Arkansas Monday evening to advance to the Super Regionals against the Sycamores.
Under normal circumstances, Indiana State would host the best of 3 series against the Horned Frogs. However, Indiana State announced Monday that because of some logistical issues in Terre Haute, including the Indiana Special Olympics, they will not be hosting in the 2nd weekend of the tournament. It has not been officially announced, but TCU is now expected to host according to a report from Kendall Rogers.
The Sycamores released the following on the unfortunate circumstances below:

Obviously, this presents a massive advantage to the Horned Frogs, who were already going to be a very tough out. TCU destroyed Arkansas this past weekend, adding 32 runs to Arkansas’ 9 in 2 games.
Indiana State downed Wright State and Iowa twice to advance to the Super Regional round.
