Full 2022 NCAA Baseball Tournament bracket announced

The full NCAA Tournament bracket was released on Monday.

On Monday, the NCAA selection committee announced the full 64-team field for this year’s NCAA Baseball Tournament.

LSU went into the day knowing it would have to hit the road for the regional round as the 16 host sites were announced Sunday night with Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge not being among them.

Now, the Tigers know they’ll be staying relatively close to home as they will head to the Hattiesburg Regional to take on No. 11 national seed Southern Miss in addition to No. 3-seeded Kennesaw State and No. 4-seeded Army. LSU is one of 11 SEC teams in the field, and it will open the national tournament against the Owls on Friday evening.

If LSU can escape that regional, it would face off against the winner of the Coral Gables Regional, which is hosted by No. 11 national seed Miami.

Here’s the full 64-team bracket as this year’s race to win the College World Series is now set to begin.
