Missouri’s postseason hopes took a major upswing this past weekend after the Tigers (24–21, 7–14 SEC) completed a sweep of visiting Tennessee (24–21, 6–15 SEC). Mizzou entered the weekend series in dead last in the conference and on the outside of the Southeastern Conference Tournament picture. The bottom two teams in the conference fail to qualify for the tournament, which will take place May 24–29 at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama.
Unfortunately for the Tigers, their path to NCAA regionals is a difficult one. It would likely require them to win eight of their final nine conference games plus a pair of wins in the SEC Tournament.
