While Big Blue Nation is swept up in the chaos of Kentucky men’s basketball’s decimation of Tennessee, baseball season looms.

On Feb. 18, Kentucky begins its 2022 campaign in Jacksonville, Alabama for a three-game series against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks.

The Wildcats will then return to Lexington to host Southeast Missouri State, kicking off a 14-game homestand, leading Kentucky into yet another daunting SEC schedule.

Finishing with six teams in the Top 25 at the end of last season, including four in the top ten, one of which being national champions Mississippi State, the SEC once again reigned supreme in the world of collegiate baseball.
