Tigers look to avenge 4-1 defeat in season opener
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A day after the Mizzou Tennis team ended the regular season with a pair of wins over Savannah State, the Tigers found out their postseason schedule, as the 2018 Southeastern Conference Tournament bracket was released by league officials.
The Tigers (13-16, 0-13 SEC) are the No. 14 seed, and will face No. 11 seed and 49th-ranked Arkansas (7-15, 3-10) on Wednesday at 9 a.m. CT in the first round of the tournament, hosted by the University of Tennessee at Barksdale Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn.
The Razorbacks took a 4-1 decision in the teams' regular-season matchup in Columbia on March 2 to begin the league's schedule. While Arkansas owns an 8-3 series lead, including 5-2 since Mizzou joined the SEC, the Tigers have won both previous SEC Tournament meetings, which came in the 2014 and 2015 championships.
Wednesday's winner advances to face No. 20-ranked and No. 6 seed Auburn at 11 a.m. CT on Thursday.
