USC Baseball needs to win vs Tenn

The latest Boyd’s World RPI has USC at No. 20 nationally.

So, all USC needs to do is win two of three against a Tennessee team that had a nine-game losing streak before the win at Furman. With a 25-7 home record, there is every reason to believe USC can get things straightened out against the Vols.
Then it will not really matter what USC does in the SEC tournament. It will be prepared to do some damage in the NCAA tournament and advance to the super regionals for the eighth time in the past nine seasons.

All that really matters is the three-game series against Tennessee that begins Thursday at Sarge Frye Field. Two wins, and USC qualifies for the SEC tournament. Two wins, and USC gets into the NCAA tournament.

Will USC play host to a super regional? No chance. Will it play host to a regional? Not likely. Will USC be the most dangerous second-seeded team in any regional? Absolutely. Rest assured no top-seed will want the Gamecocks in its regional.

Go Cocks and just win!
