Who will Auburn baseball face to open the SEC tournament?
A look at Auburn baseball's path in the upcoming SEC tournament
Auburn baseball is officially locked into the postseason after a dominant 14-4 victory over Georgia this past Saturday. That win secured the No. 6 seed for the Tigers as they head into the SEC tournament, providing them with a valuable first-round bye. While they narrowly missed the top four and a coveted double-bye, momentum is certainly on their side.
The Road Ahead
As the No. 6 seed, Auburn is set to kick off their tournament run on Wednesday night. They will face the winner of Tuesday's matchup between No. 11 seed Oklahoma and No. 14 seed LSU. Fans should keep an eye on the schedule, as the Tigers' start time depends on the conclusion of the Arkansas game, which is slated for a 4:30 p.m. start earlier that same day.
The path to the opening game begins with the Oklahoma-LSU tilt, which follows the Tennessee vs. South Carolina matchup on Tuesday afternoon. Staying focused on the bracket, 205focus.com readers should note that a victory on Wednesday would propel Auburn into a high-stakes quarterfinal showdown against No. 3-seed Texas A&M on Friday. That contest is currently scheduled to follow the 3 p.m. game involving Texas.
Tournament Venue
All of the action will unfold at the Hoover Metropolitan Complex in Hoover, Alabama. Stay tuned as the Tigers look to make a deep run in the heart of the 205.
