Who does Tennessee baseball play in SEC Tournament? Vols seed, opponent in Hoover

Tennessee baseball is the No. 1 seed in the 2024 SEC Tournament as the SEC regular-season co-champions.

The Vols will play at 5:30 p.m. ET Wednesday against the winner of No. 8 Vanderbilt (35-20, 13-17) and No. 9 Florida (28-26, 13-17) at the Hoover Met in Hoover, Alabama. Tennessee held the tiebreaker with co-champs Kentucky due to a series win against the Wildcats, which meant UT claimed the top seed over the Wildcats.

UT earned a bye as a top-four seed. It is the third time in the past three seasons Tennessee has earned a bye as a top-four seed. The first round Tuesday is a single-elimination format before pivoting into double elimination until Saturday's semifinals.

All games will be televised on SEC Network except for Sunday's championship on ESPN2 at 3 p.m.
