The NCAA released its list of regional hosts on Sunday, outlining which teams would serve as hosts for the first round of the postseason.

ASU baseball was not one of them.

The NCAA selection committee name the top 16 seeds as hosts for the 64-team regional tournament Sunday, excluding the Sun Devils from hosting for the fourth straight year.

The Sun Devils came into their final weekend series against USC likely needing to win their first two games against the Trojans to earn a regional hosting bid.

ASU won the first game 11-3, but fell Saturday 7-4 to all but end their hosting hopes.

ASU has not hosted a regional since 2011, when the team was still based out of Packard Stadium.

The list of 16 host cities, named in reverse alphabetical order, go as follows (school in parenthesis):

Tallahassee, Florida (Florida State)

Stillwater, Oklahoma (Oklahoma State)

Springfield, Missouri (Missouri State)

Nashville, Tennessee (Vanderbilt)

Louisville, Kentucky (Louisville)

Los Angeles, California (UCLA)

Lake Elsinore, California (UC Santa Barbara)

Houston, Texas (Houston)

Gainesville, Florida (Florida)

Fullerton, California, (Cal State Fullerton)

Forth Worth, Texas (TCU)

Dallas, Texas (Dallas Baptist)

Coral Gables, Florida (Miami)

College Station, Texas (Texas A&M)

Champaign, Illinois (Illinois)

Baton Rouge, Louisiana (LSU)

The rest of the regional seedings and match ups will be announced Monday at 9 a.m. on ESPNU.
