Tennessee baseball is heating up at the perfect time, and the latest NCAA Tournament projections have the Vols packing their bags for a familiar postseason destination. With just four games left in the regular season, all eyes are on Rocky Top as they eye a return to the Chapel Hill Regional.

The Vols (34-18, 13-14 SEC) are projected as the No. 2 seed in the Chapel Hill Regional, according to USA TODAY's Erick Smith. They'd join host and top seed North Carolina, along with No. 3 Missouri State and No. 4 Army in what promises to be a competitive bracket. For Tennessee fans, this projection brings back memories—the Vols last played in the Chapel Hill Regional back in 2019, where they battled through wins against UNC Wilmington and Liberty before ultimately falling to the Tar Heels.

But before they can think about postseason play, Tennessee has some business to handle. The Vols host Belmont (19-32, 9-12 MVC) on Tuesday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium for their final regular-season home game. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. EDT on SEC Network+. Then it's off to Oklahoma for a crucial three-game series against the Sooners at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City, running Thursday through Saturday.

The SEC Tournament awaits May 19-24 at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama, serving as the final tune-up before the big dance. The full NCAA Tournament bracket drops May 25 at noon EDT on ESPN2, with regional play kicking off May 29.

For head coach Tony Vitello and his squad, this projected return to Chapel Hill is a chance at redemption. The 2019 regional ended in heartbreak, but this year's team has shown the grit and talent to make a deeper run. Whether you're cheering from the stands or repping the orange and white at home, one thing's for sure—Vols baseball is ready to make some noise.
