ESPNU Features Big College Baseball Weekend

With the college basketball season complete and the Kentucky Wildcats winning another national championship, the college sports world flips their focus to baseball and the road to Omaha.

ESPNU will carry several college baseball games with national implications.  The traditional Thursday Night SEC baseball game will feature #1 Florida hosting #12 LSU in a pivotal conference series, as the Gators push towards a return to the College World Series while LSU, one of the most storied programs in the country, aims to make their return after their 2009 National Championship.  Live coverage begins at 7:30 PM EDT, and the game will replay at 3 AM.

Saturday features a day/night doubleheader with teams that are no stranger to the world series.  At 4:30 PM EDT, #4 Texas A&M hosts #22 Oklahoma in Big 12 action.  Texas A&M went to the CWS in 2011 and Oklahoma was there in 2010.  Two time defending national champion and current #10 South Carolina hosts Tennessee in the nightcap at 8 PM EDT.  Both games will be replayed on Saturday night.

On Sunday, catch Missouri Valley Conference action as Creighton hosts Indiana State at 4 PM EDT.  You can again catch a replay overnight.
