Zach Allen, Daytona Beach News-Journal — Bethune-Cookman will advance. It’s not a knock on Arkansas-Pine Bluff, who have already shown it has what it takes to beat the Wildcats, but more of a testament to the season B-CU has had. Bethune-Cookman didn’t lose a conference series all season, which included a series triumph over the Golden Lions to begin May. And there’s some confidence to be had considering the Wildcats are ninth in the NCAA in runs and own road victories over ranked LSU and Florida squads.
