Latest Arkansas projections set tantalizing Super Regional SEC showdowns
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas’ official stay in Hoover and the SEC Tournament lasted just over three hours. The Razorbacks were one of two top four seeds to go one-and-done.
The No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels took a five-run first and made it stick in a 5-2 win.
“I would much rather be playing at least one more game and hopefully two just to kind of stay on rhythm a little bit,” coach Dave Van Horn said. “If we’d have been here since Tuesday and maybe won three in a row and we had to win two or three more to win it, maybe that’s more than you need. I might answer you differently. But it’s our first game. We weren’t ready to go home.”
Van Horn’s team should be a lock to be a top eight national seed, giving Arkansas home field advantage through the first two rounds of the postseason, should they advance.
They rank No. 5 in the Rating Percentage Index (RPI).
It might not be long before Ole Miss and Arkansas matchup again. As Arkansas awaits its fate with the selection show Monday, D1Baseball has the two teams facing off in a potential Super Regional. Here’s the full regional as of Saturday morning,
1. Arkansas (3)
2. Kansas
3. Creighton
4. Little Rock
1. Ole Miss (14)
2. TCU
3. Stetson
4. North Dakota State
Getting to the next round is the first order of business and lurking as the two seed in the Oxford Regional is TCU, which knows a thing or two about knocking out a SEC host school, blasting
The Hogs will be very familiar with the opponent of the first game in the potential regional. They have already faced the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans in a two-game midweek series in mid-April, in which Arkansas pitching staff spun two straight shutouts, 10-0 and 4-0.
Ole Miss vaulted themselves back into hosting contention with at least a run to the SEC semifinals. The Rebels are now the No. 14 seed in the same projection, setting a potential rematch.
With up to 13 teams in the SEC making the field of 64, the SEC holds at least half of the regional hosting sites in both the D1Baseball and Baseball America’s bracketology.
Baseball America has another potential SEC rematch. The Tennessee Volunteers also brought themselves back into hosting contention with a semifinal run to the SEC Tournament, taking out No. 1 Texas before getting run-ruled by Vanderbilt.
The Volunteers just left Fayetteville to close the regular season, losing two out of three, could be making a return trip if chalk holds.
Here’s Baseball America’s latest Bracketology:
1. Arkansas (3)
2. Northeastern
3. Virginia
4. Central Connecticut
1. Tennessee (14)
2. West Virginia
3. East Tennessee State
4. Bryant
The No. 3 seed in Arkansas’ regional could prove to be quite the challenge. Virginia was ranked the No. 2 overall team in D1Baseball’s preseason rankings.
The Razorbacks will await its fate 11 a.m. Monday when the full field of 64 is revealed on ESPN2.
“We’ve got to tighten up as a group,” Van Horn said. “We can’t let that happen again. We need to have a good week back in Fayetteville and get ready to go.”

It’s been a bone-dry year in Arkansas. It’s now the 7th driest year on record in Little Rock since record-keeping began in 1875, as of April 20.
24 days so far this year in Little Rock have received measurable rainfall. 12 days received a trace amount of rain, meaning there were no rainfall measurements to report (it was too little to record), as it was just a sprinkle or a few spits.
Only 4 days have received an inch or more of rain so far this year. Those occurred on April 4, March 7, February 14, and January 24. January’s “rain” was really winter precipitation.
April is usually the rainiest month of the year in Arkansas. In Little Rock, April on average receives 5.59 inches of rainfall. So far this April, as of April 20, Little Rock has only recorded 1.17″ of rain for the month.
The rainfall deficit over the last 6 months is well over a foot for much of Arkansas, including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and Harrison.
Spring is the rainy season, and summer is the dry season. If rain isn’t recorded soon, the drought will persist into the summer. In fact, the latest seasonal drought outlook shows that while some areas of Arkansas could see improvements, the drought continues into July.
To fully end the drought, parts of central and northeast Arkansas need more than 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. Parts of northwest Arkansas need between 15 and 20 inches of rain over the next 3 months. The rest of the state needs between 20 and 25 inches of rain over the next 3 months. All of this rain would need to be received slowly, not all at one time.
The odds of receiving this much rain slowly over the next 3 months are very low.
