The postseason has arrived. Tennessee will make the short trip down to Hoover, Alabama on Wednesday, set to take on the Alabama Crimson Tide. Alabama survived the SEC’s new single-elimination format on Tuesday, beating the 16-seed Missouri to advance.
They’ll run into 8-seed Tennessee on Wednesday, who took two of three in the regular season series between the two back in March. The Volunteers are looking to stop the bleeding after dropping six of their last seven SEC series to close the season. They’re likely looking at going on the road for the NCAA Tournament regional round, but the Vols have a small glimmer hope to host if they can get hot this week.
