NCAA 2026 Regional Finals

UF, LSU, UGA in one semi is a pretty big viewership draw, those are huge fan bases.

I read on X/Twitter that UF, LSU, UGA, and Stanford is the night session and UCLA, OU, Minnesota, and Arkansas is the afternoon session. Not sure if that's accurate.

Do we know which individuals are in which session?

How is it determined which teams get the afternoon semifinal and which teams get the evening semifinal?

Unless things have changed (which they might have) the top qualifier with the highest NQS gets placed in the PM session. So in this case it would be:

AM: LSU, Stanford, Florida, Georgia
PM: Oklahoma, UCLA, Arkansas, Minnesota

Do we know which individuals are in which session?

I think Kailin Chio is strong enough to win the AA from the afternoon semifinal. She’s my prediction to win. But Jordan Chiles will get her say in the evening.

Last 2 AA winners have been from the afternoon so it could be a trend
