Southern Miss baseball won't have to travel far to open the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
The Golden Eagles (37-19) will open play in the Oxford Regional on Friday against Florida State (30-22).
Ole Miss was selected as the No. 12 overall seed in the tournament and is the top seed in the regional. The Rebels (41-19) will open against Southeast Missouri State (30-20).
Southern Miss was among the 20 finalists to be an NCAA Regional host, but back-to-back walk-off losses to Louisiana Tech in the Conference USA Tournament dashed their dreams.
The Oxford Regional is matched up with the Arizona Regional for the Super Regional round.
