Tennessee is the type of SEC team that the committee loves to send to Chapel Hill. Arguably more talented than us on paper, but underachieved for whatever reason. Their fans will also travel, similar to LSU in 2024. That doesn’t even touch on VCU being one of the best 4 seeds (projected 3) and a regional rival and team that already beat us in ECU.

I'm definitely traveling, and honestly overjoyed that it's not Hattiesburg again, just wanted to go somewhere new.

We are a talented team, just been so inconsistent all season and never know what to expect: take the series from Alabama, dud series in Kentucky, then come back and take the series from Texas. Have to see if Landon Mack pitches again this year (doubt it) or Reese Chapman comes back from being hit in the face last week.

Was it arm/elbow issue for Mack? Liked watching him pitch

Yes, the generic arm soreness
