The SEC baseball regular season is over and the postseason tournament bracket has been set. The Texas Longhorns have won the regular season title and will be the top seed in the SEC tournament, which starts on Tuesday, May 20. The top four seeds in the single-elimination tournament get a bye through to the quarterfinals.
The Longhorns added to it's lead in the conference standings on the final day of the regular season with a convincing 9-1 win over the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman. The game featured a two-hour weather delay, but it didn't dampen the Longhorns bats. The Longhorns had two home runs and eight hits in the blowout win.
UT will now get a few days of rest before hitting the diamond in the third round of the SEC tourney in Hoover, Alabama. Texas will either face No. 8 seed Tennessee, No. 9 seed Alabama or No. 16 seed Missouri in the quarterfinals on Thursday, May 22 at 3 p.m. CT.
Winning the regular season SEC crown should move the Longhorns back into the No. 1 spot in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll on Monday and it could mean the No. 1 overall seed on Selection Monday, when the NCAA Tournament bracket is announced.
