Have trouble figuring out home team for tomorrow’s game.

Ole miss is batting first after being top seed in bracket and 2-0. Same for vandy and Arkansas. Old dominion and Utenn in same position are the home team. NC State is 2-0 as 2 seed in Ruston regional and is the home team.

We were home vs VCU, so if we play again it will be their turn to be home. I believe you flip a coin for 3rd game. I get this rule wrong every time though, so take it with a grain of salt.

It's whoever has been home team the fewest number of times. If tied, coin flip. State has had 2 home games. Campbell 2. VCU 1.

So if VCU wins, they are home in Game 1. Game 2 would be a coin flip.

If Campbell wins, Game 1 is a coin flip. Game 2, the loser of the coin flip is home.

This is the correct way to determine home team.
1. Whoever has been the home team fewer times will be the home team.
2. If equal, whoever has been the visitor more times will be the home team.
3. If both equal...
a. If the teams have met in the regional, whoever was the visitor in the previous matchup will be the home team.
b. The team who was visitor in their preceding game will be home team, unless both were the visitor.
4. Coin flip.

With that said, and given that we have been home team in both of our games....
If we face Campbell, they will have been home team twice and visitor once before Game 6. Campbell would be home team in Game 6 (by step 2 above). Then we would be home team in Game 7, if necessary (step 1).

If we face VCU, they will have been home team once and visitor twice before Game 6. VCU would be home team in Game 6 (step 1). Then, oddly enough, VCU would be home team again in Game 7, if necessary (step 2 - we would be equal on home team, but they would have been visitor more).

Perhaps it's simply my old age, but I'm not able to figure out how rule 2 clarifies rule 1. I guess it's for cases of unequal number of games played.
