Arkansas will play Tennessee at approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday in a first-round elimination game in the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala.
The No. 20 Razorbacks (33-20, 17-12 SEC) are the No. 5 seed, while the Volunteers (24-24, 11-18) are the No. 12 seed.
The Arkansas-Tennessee winner will play fourth-seeded Florida on Wednesday night when the tournament goes to a double-elimination format.
Tennessee earned the tournament’s last spot by scoring three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat Mississippi State 3-2 Saturday. If the Vols had lost, the Razorbacks would have played Georgia, which they beat 8-1 Saturday.
Arkansas and Tennessee split their regular-season series last weekend in Fayetteville, with the Vols winning 5-4 and the Razorbacks winning 5-2. They didn’t play a third game because a weather delay Sunday canceled the second game of a doubleheader.
Alabama beat Vanderbilt 1-0 Saturday to give the Crimson Tide the No. 11 seed. If Alabama had lost, the Tide would have played Arkansas.
Arkansas swept a three-game series from Alabama this season at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, where the Tide played their home games while their stadium in Tuscaloosa is being renovated.
