Alabama (41-16) is in play to be a regional host but lost the inside track with a series defeat last weekend and a second-round SEC Tournament exit on Wednesday. Its chances of hosting are small. Motivation for postseason play, regardless of location, is not.

All eyes have turned to the NCAA Tournament for Alabama baseball. Where the Tide landed in the latest bracketology.

The No. 8 seed Vols beat the No. 9 seed Alabama 15-10 in Hoover, Alabama, on May 21 with a huge offensive performance. Tennessee scored 10 straight runs after falling behind 6-5 in the top of the fifth. Every player in the Tennessee starting lineup had at least one hit while eight had at least two hits and three had three hits.
