Where Tennessee baseball landed in latest NCAA Tournament projections
Tennessee baseball is pushing toward the NCAA Tournament with two weeks left in the regular season. Where might the Vols be seeded?
Tennessee baseball ’s NCAA Tournament profile may have taken a slight dip after losing two games at Kentucky , but the Vols are still in position for another regional berth. Tennessee’s season to this point has been hard to define, with series wins against probable national seeds showing its potential but questions remaining of its ability to sustain that level . With only seven games left in the regular season, Tennessee (32-17, 11-13 SEC) is putting the final touches on its postseason resume.
The Vols’ best remaining chance to improve their seed will be a three-game series against No. 4 Texas (36-10, 15-8), the SEC’s highest-ranked team. Game 1 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium is May 8 (6:30 p.
m. , SEC Network+), followed by Game 2 on May 9 (6 p. m.
, SEC Network+) and the series finale on May 10 (noon, ESPN2). “It's a very balanced group and very competitive, but that's what the SEC is,” Tennessee coach Josh Elander said of the Longhorns . “… It's another really, really good opponent at home in Knoxville, and we're excited for the challenge.
