Arkansas doesn't need a national seed in next week's NCAA Tournament to prove it is one of the elite teams in college baseball.
The Razorbacks have shown their mettle this week at the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala., by fighting their way out of the loser's bracket and into the tournament championship game against LSU today at 2 p.m.
Arkansas made it this far by convincingly winning three consecutive games against top 25 teams. Facing elimination with a loss, the Razorbacks beat Auburn, Mississippi State and Florida by a combined score of 37-2, run-ruling the Tigers and Gators in seven innings.
