Mississippi State earns No. 11 seed in upcoming SEC Tournament

Oklahoma’s loss to Texas on Saturday moved the Bulldogs up to the No. 11 seed. If the Bulldogs make a run to the quarterfinal round, that will prove to be a big deal since it’ll give Mississippi State an extra day of rest. The top half of the bracket will play quarterfinal games on Thursday while the bottom half, which includes Mississippi State, will play Friday.

It’s unlikely the Bulldogs would have their Tuesday starter (likely Pico Kohn) pitch three days later, but baseball history is full of pitchers performing heroically on three days of rest. It certainly will allow Mississippi State’s bullpen to rest and be fully available for a potential game against LSU. But the Bulldogs have a long hill to climb until they have to worry about all of that.

Here are the final conference standings and schedule for the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala.
