The Tennessee Volunteers and Oklahoma Sooners are set to meet in a three‑game series in Oklahoma City, marking the first meeting between the schools since both joined the SEC.
Both programs have already locked in spots in the NCAA Tournament, but the series offers a valuable opportunity to sharpen tactics and gain confidence heading into the SEC Tournament.
Tennessee arrives as the No. 29 national seed after a season of inconsistency, highlighted by a recent win over fourth‑ranked Texas, while Oklahoma holds the No. 26 seed but has endured a three‑game losing streak in its last series.
Pitching rotations set for the series
Game 1 is scheduled for Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET, with Tennessee’s Tegan Kuhns taking the mound opposite Oklahoma’s Cameron Johnson.
Friday’s contest will see Evan Blanco on the hill for Tennessee facing Xander Mercurius for Oklahoma, both left‑handers aiming to exploit opposing lineups.
Saturday’s finale will be led by Oklahoma’s Cord Rager, while Tennessee’s starter remains to be announced and Landon Mack is listed as questionable for the weekend.
