The LSU baseball Tigers will host a Regional this weekend. They were among the 16 schools awarded with a Regional and we’ll find out at 11 AM who will be coming to the Baton Rouge Regional and if the Tigers are a Top 8 national seed.

Georgia, Auburn, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee. Vanderbilt and Ole Miss are the other SEC schools hosting a regional. The Rebels lost to Vanderbilt in the SEC Tournament Championship game three to two on Sunday. Ole Miss eliminated LSU in the SEC Tournament, beating the Tigers two to nothing on Saturday.
