The college baseball spotlight shines brightly on Austin this weekend as the No. 1 Texas Longhorns welcome the No. 6 Auburn Tigers to UFCU Disch-Falk Field for a marquee SEC showdown that continues the streak of high-profile matchups on the Forty Acres.
In a remarkable nod to the conference’s strength, Auburn is actually the lowest-ranked opponent that Texas have hosted since opening SEC play at the Disch a month ago against then-No. 2 LSU before a visit from then-No. 3 Georgia.
Texas, riding high after claiming the nation’s top ranking, has been a dominant force all season with a mix of explosive offense and lights-out pitching.
