Southern Miss baseball went to Auburn for a regional in its first season under coach Scott Berry in 2010, and the Golden Eagles will return to Plainsman Park in Berry's final postseason in charge, the NCAA announced Monday.
The No. 2 seed in the double elimination Auburn Regional, USM will open the NCAA Tournament against No. 3 Samford on Friday (1 p.m. CT, ESPN+). The top-seeded Tigers will take on No. 4 Penn (6 p.m., ESPN+).
Up against the Tigers (34-21-1), Bulldogs (36-23) and Quakers (32-14), here's the argument for and against Southern Miss (41-17) taking another trip to the super regional round in Berry's last ride.
