The fifth-ranked Texas baseball team was named one of 16 regional hosts for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. That wasn’t a surprise, considering the Longhorns won 40 regular-season games, finished second in the SEC standings and have been one of the nation’s top RBI teams (No. 5 in RPI according to D1Baseball.com as of Sunday). What remains to be seen is if Texas (40-13, 19-10 SEC) will be one of the eight national seeds when the field of 64 is unveiled on Monday. As of Sunday, D1Baseball had the Longhorns projected as the No. 6 overall national seed, hosting an Austin Regional featuring No. 2 seed Miami (Fla.), No. 3 seed Louisiana and No. 4 seed UC San Diego. D1Baseball has Texas matched up with projected No. 11 seed Florida State, meaning the Longhorns and Seminoles would meet in the Austin Super Regional with a trip to the College World Series on the line. The On Texas Football staff will be live on YouTube at 11 a.m. Monday, when ESPN announces the field assembled by the Division I Baseball Selection Committee. The hope is that Jim Schlossnagle’s second NCAA Tournament on the Forty Acres goes better than his postseason debut. Entering last year's tournament as the No. 2 overall seed, Texas was bounced from the Austin Regional by UTSA, which was swept by UCLA in the Los Angeles Super Regional. This marks the third time in the last five seasons that the Longhorns have hosted a regional. Texas won its regional at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in 2021 and 2022, with the 2021 squad eliminating USF in the Austin Super Regional to reach the College World Series. No team in Division I history has more College World Series appearances (38) or wins (88) than the Longhorns.
