Final Prediction: Which Programs Will LSU Baseball Face in the Baton Rouge Regional?

The LSU Tigers will return to Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field on Friday to begin NCAA Tournament play with the program set to host the Baton Rouge Regional.

Jay Johnson and Co. have officially earned one of the 16 host sites for NCAA Tournament Regional play with it all set to begin this weekend.

"We're really excited about playing home baseball next week, hopefully the next two weeks, and we'll get ready for that," Johnson said. "Get home [Saturday], get a day off [Sunday], see the lay of the land on Monday and get right to work right after that.

"I think our team, how they handled the schedule, the consistency in which they did, should play with great confidence going forward, and that's what I expect them to do."

LSU will sit back and wait to see if the program has cemented a Top-8 National Seed with the Selection Show set to take place on Monday at 11 a.m. CT.
