Jacksonville State softball has dominated the Conference USA regular season, and now they're set to make a deep postseason run. The Gamecocks (42-13) enter the Conference USA tournament as the No. 1 seed after an impressive 24-3 conference record—finishing five games ahead of second-place Western Kentucky.
Thanks to their regular-season championship, the Gamecocks earned a double bye, meaning they won't take the field until Thursday. That's a huge advantage, giving the team extra rest while their potential opponents battle it out. They'll face the winner of a matchup between Delaware and the play-in game victor between Sam Houston State and New Mexico State.
All games will be streamed on ESPN+, with the championship game airing on CBS Sports Network. Here's the full tournament schedule (all times Central):
Thursday, May 9: - Game 6: Western Kentucky vs. Winner of Game 4, 1:30 p.m. - Game 7: Loser of Game 3 vs. Loser of Game 4, 4 p.m. - Game 8: Loser of Game 5 vs. Loser of Game 6, 6:30 p.m.
