Mike Bianco and the Ole Miss Rebels will have postseason baseball at Swayze Field with the program earning one of the coveted Top-16 seeds in the NCAA Tournament.

After an impressive run in the SEC Tournament last week in Hoover (Ala.), Bianco and Co. boosted their resumé and landed a host site.

For Ole Miss ace Hunter Elliot, the Mississippi native has been waiting for an opportunity to play postseason ball at Swayze Field since he signed with the program.

“It would mean a lot. I’ve never played postseason baseball in Oxford. I’ve heard it’s truly special,” Elliott said on Sunday.

“It would be one of the best environments in college baseball next weekend. But, yeah, just me being from Mississippi I grew up going to a ton of games, going to some really cool postseason games. It would mean the world for me to play in one.”

Now, all eyes are on the Oxford Regional with Ole Miss' opponents revealed for this weekend in NCAA Tournament Regional play.

The Oxford Regional:

No. 1: Ole Miss Rebels
No. 2: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
