Texas softball closes out the regular season with one last challenge in the loaded SEC. The No. 7 Longhorns (38-8, 15-6 SEC) open a three-game series with No. 10 Arkansas (39-9, 13-8) Thursday at 7 p.m. in a matchup that features the two teams atop the NCAA’s RPI rankings.
The game marks the ninth meeting this season between Texas and a team that’s currently ranked in the top 10 in the latest National Fastpitch Coaches Association poll. The Longhorns are 3-5 in their previous eight games against top-10 teams, including 2-4 against teams from the SEC.
Texas is currently tied with Texas A&M for fourth place in the SEC and holds a tiebreaking edge over the Aggies. That means if Texas sweeps the series against Arkansas, it will enter next week’s SEC Tournament as a top-four seed and get a coveted double bye regardless of how Texas A&M fares in its series against first-place Oklahoma.
Follow below for live scores and updates Thursday as the Texas Longhorns begin a three-game SEC series against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
