Vanderbilt baseball vs Oklahoma score today in SEC tournament: Live updates, how to watch
HOOVER, Ala. — Vanderbilt baseball will start off the SEC tournament by facing Oklahoma in the quarterfinals.
The Commodores (39-16) received a double bye as the No. 4 seed under the new tournament format, which includes all 16 teams and is single elimination. They will face the No. 12 seed Sooners (34-19) with a spot in the semifinals on the line.
Vanderbilt has won its SEC tournament opener in five consecutive seasons. It is near-certain to be an NCAA tournament national seed, with the No. 1 RPI and No. 2 strength of schedule, but it can bolster its résumé even further with a run in Hoover.
The Commodores won four of their last five series to finish off the regular season. They dropped two of three to Oklahoma in mid-April, a series they credited with turning around their offensive performance.
