Ole Miss Baseball Hosts NCAA Tournament Despite SEC Loss

Ole Miss baseball fell to Vanderbilt 3-2 in the SEC tournament championship game, ending their run but maintaining the most Quad 1 wins nationally, positioning them well for the NCAA tournament where they are likely to earn a regional host bid. Quad 1 wins, including victories over top-25 and top-40 teams, boosted Ole Miss's RPI to No. 10 with a strong strength of schedule, despite the championship loss. Earlier, Ole Miss secured a key quarterfinal victory over Florida to advance against Arkansas in the SEC tournament. Meanwhile, the No. 3 Ole Miss men's golf team is competing in the NCAA Championships at Omni La Costa Resort, with several players ranked in the top 100 individually and strong recent performances fueling hopes for a deep run. Texas A&M men's golf, ranked No. 11, is also contending for the national title with a strong squad including All-SEC players, highlighting the SEC's prominence in collegiate golf and baseball this season.
