Mississippi State and Ole Miss baseball will add another page to the historic rivalry during next week's SEC tournament played at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Alabama.

MSU (36-19, 17-13 SEC) is the No. 5 seed in its first trip to the conference tournament since 2021. Mississippi State was locked into that spot with Florida's win against Georgia on Saturday.

Ole Miss (27-28, 11-19), after getting swept by LSU, was locked into the final spot among the field.

The game will be aired on SEC Network with first pitch coming approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of No. 8 seed Vanderbilt vs. No. 9 seed Florida. That game is slated to begin at 4:30 p.m.

The winner of MSU vs. Ole Miss will face No. 4 seed Texas A&M on Wednesday. Tuesday's action is single elimination. The eight teams remaining Wednesday will be part of a double-elimination bracket.

MSU and Ole Miss have split the four games in the rivalry this season. The Rebels took two of three in a mid-April SEC series at Swayze Field.

However, the Bulldogs won the Governor’s Cup in Pearl, Mississippi, on May 1. As a midweek game, that didn’t count toward the conference standings.

The last time the rivals met in the SEC tournament was 2007 with the Rebels winning 3-1.
