After their first home SEC series against Kentucky from Mar. 7-9, the Tigers will host the Mizzou Invitational from Mar. 13-15. They’ll play the Jackrabbits again (2:30 p.m., Mar. 13), Princeton (5 p.m., Mar. 13), Michigan (5:30 p.m., Mar. 14) and Quinnipiac (Mar. 15, 4 p.m.). They’ll then host a doubleheader against Illinois on Mar. 18 (time TBA). Sandwiched in-between a home series against Oklahoma from Mar. 21-23 and a road trip to Ole Miss from Mar. 28-30 is a rivalry game with Kansas in Columbia (TBA, Mar. 26). 

Mizzou will then make its last midweek road trip for a date with Missouri State in Springfield (TBA, Apr. 2). Between a home series against Texas (Apr. 4-6) and a trek to Mississippi State (Apr. 11-13) is a home contest against Southern Illinois (6 p.m., Apr. 9). Following a midweek clash with SIUE (6 p.m., Apr. 15) is a home series against Texas A&M (Apr. 17-19), a road trip to Alabama (Apr. 25-27) and a home series against Georgia (May 1-3) to close out the regular season.

This announcement comes a little over two months after the Tigers announced their SEC schedule. Next season, they will look to replicate last season’s success, where they captured the No. 7 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
