Regional Implications

For all intents and purposes, Georgia will be at home for the NCAA regionals next weekend. Now, it’s a question of how high a seed the Diamond Dawgs will be, which would weigh heavy if Georgia advances to the Super Regionals. How Georgia plays over the next few days could impact that, either helping or hurting those odds of a preferred draw.

D1Baseball.com has Georgia as the fourth overall seed with BaseballAmerica slotting Georgia as a No. 3 national seed in its projections.

Needless to say - UGA’s e-mail regarding postseason baseball ticket priority was not exactly putting a proverbial cart before the horse.
