The LSU Tigers are a national seed in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Which means the Bayou Bengals will get to host a Super Regional, if they are able to win the Baton Rouge regional this weekend.

Four teams from the SEC received national seeds, Florida, Texas A-and-M and Mississippi State.

So here’s a look at the Baton Rouge Regional…LSU is the number one seed and they’ll play Utah Valley at 2 PM on Friday afternoon. The Wolverines won the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

The number two seed is the Rice Owls and the three-seed is Southeastern Louisiana. Coach Matt Riser’s team gets in, despite losing to Sam Houston State seven to four in the Southland Tournament championship game. Rice and S-L-U will play each other on Friday night at 7 PM.

By the way LSU’s regional is matched up with the North Carolina State regional.

Louisiana Tech is in the NCAA Baseball Tournament for the first time since 1987. The Bulldogs will compete in the Starkville Regional, which will be hosted by Mississippi State. Tech will face Cal State Fullerton on Friday afternoon in a two versus three seed match-up.

The Starkville Regional is paired with the Lafayette Regional, hosted by the Ragin Cajuns. UL Lafayette will host Sam Houston State, Princeton and Arizona in its Regional.

And Tulane is the fifth school from Louisiana in the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The Green Wave is the two seed in the Oxford Regional and Tulane will play Boston College on Friday. The other match-up in Oxford is Ole Miss versus Utah.
