NCAA Tournament schedule for Saturday’s games featuring SEC teams

Saturday could be the last day of having nine SEC teams in the 2021 NCAA Baseball Tournament.

After Friday losses, three SEC teams are facing elimination games, including No. 15 national seed Florida. The Gators will play South Alabama in an elimination game at noon Eastern. Later in the afternoon, Alabama will play Rider in the Ruston Regional elimination game. LSU faces Central Connecticut State in the Eugene Regional elimination game.

The six other SEC teams are in winners’ brackets games. Another win today and any of those teams are just one more victory away from advancing to Super Regionals. The above teams in the losers’ bracket need to win four games in a row to advance to the next stage in the tournament.

Thanks to the quirks of the NCAA Tournament, many host teams will be “away” for Saturday’s games.
