SEC baseball is heading into the NCAA Tournament with an eye toward keeping its run of domination at the College World Series intact this year.
Entering the tournament, the SEC will have a great shot at sending multiple programs to Omaha after the league swept the top 4 overall seeds during Monday’s selection show. The conference also produced 6 of the top 8 national seeds with the right to host through the Super Regionals.
Overall, the SEC is sending 13 teams to the full bracket. That includes Kentucky, a program clearly on the bubble entering Monday, surviving to reach the tournament.
Now, fans can buckle in for regional round action to begin later this week, and don’t forget to track the latest College World Series odds throughout the tournament.
