Southern Miss baseball is making a push to host an NCAA Tournament Regional.
The Golden Eagles (37-17) are two wins away from winning the Conference USA Tournament for the third straight season. If they do, an NCAA Regional could be coming to Hattiesburg for the second time since 2017.
In Baseball America's most recent NCAA Tournament projections posted Friday, Southern Miss replaced Louisiana Tech as the No. 16 overall seed in the field – the lowest seed awarded an NCAA Regional.
USM beat the Bulldogs 4-1 Thursday to stay in the winner's bracket of the C-USA Tournament.
