Tennessee closed out the regular season on a high note, taking the final two series over Texas and Oklahoma. The Volunteers close the year with a 37-19 mark, turning things around after a sour start in conference play. The Vols ended up with a 15-15 mark in SEC play on the season.
Tennessee has landed the No. 10 seed in the SEC Tournament this week, which will again be played in Hoover, Alabama. The Volunteers will face No. 15 seed South Carolina on Tuesday evening to open the single-elimination bracket.
The bottom eight seeds will open the tournament on Tuesday, with the winners waiting to play seeds 5-8.
Should Tennessee beat South Carolina, Arkansas would be waiting next. No. 2 Texas would await the winner of that matchup.

Tennessee, now a lock to make the NCAA Tournament, is bringing a white-hot offense into the postseason. The bats woke up in a big way this weekend, staging three comebacks against Oklahoma. The Volunteers put up nine runs in each game in Oklahoma City, coming from behind to win games one and two. They fell just short on Saturday’s game No. 3.
The Volunteers and Gamecocks are set to play in Hoover on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. ET in Game 3 of the day. They would play Arkansas on Wednesday at the same time should they win.
