HOOVER, Ala. (AP) â The Arkansas Razorbacks polished off their dominant run through the Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament. Now, they can turn their attention to even bigger prizes.
Jalen Battles and Cullen Smith homered to help Arkansas win its first SEC Tournament title with a 7-2 victory over Tennessee on Sunday.
The Razorbacks (46-12) would have been the likely No. 1 overall national seed when the NCAA regional field is announced on Monday win or lose that game.
But they finally broke through in the SEC after losing on all four previous trips to the tournament championship game. This time they took over after a slow start against the second-seeded Volunteers (45-16).
