Tennessee vs. Southern Miss Odds
Check out Collin Wilson's full NCAA baseball Super Regional preview here.
Hattiesburg will play host to the showdown between the Volunteers and Golden Eagles.
Southern Miss head coach Scott Berry is thankful for the extra day of rest after his pitching staff was taxed in Regionals after an opening loss to Samford. Ace Tanner Hall threw 123 pitches in the opening loss, only to redeem himself in a 30-pitch clinching performance against Penn in the finale.
Only Tennessee stands in the way of the Golden Eagles making just their second trip to Omaha in program history.
The Volunteers survived an absolute barn-burner against Regional host Clemson in the winners' bracket, as the 14-inning affair saw the Tigers send 10 different players to the mound.
Tennessee advanced thanks in part to Chase Burns' six-plus innings of one-earned ball, as the effort saved the Volunteers' bullpen. A tired Clemson team fell to Charlotte, allowing Tennessee to cruise into the Super Regionals at full strength.
Andrew Lindsey is projected at -130 to get the first start against Hall, as Chase Dollander projects -140 against Billy Oldham for Southern Miss.
Tennessee averages more than a half-run per game with better offensive splits. The strength of Southern Miss has always been the pitching, but look for Burns, AJ Russell and Seth Halvorsen to swing that advantage to the Volunteers.
Series: Tennessee -180 or Better
