The Colonels are making their fourth regional appearance all-time and first since 1998. Nicholls clinched the Southland’s automatic berth following a perfect 4-0 record in the SLC Tournament. The Red and Gray are the first SLC school to win both titles in the same season since 2016.

Nicholls posted a 1-2 record against the SEC, splitting the series against No. 1 LSU while falling to Mississippi State at MGM Park in Biloxi.

The Colonels hold a 2-7 all-time record against the Crimson Tide, with the last meeting being a 13-1 loss in 2016. The two victories were in 2001 (W, 5-3) and in 1981 (W, 8-6).

Nicholls and Troy have played 11 times with the Trojans holding a 7-4 advantage in the series. The potential matchup with Boston College would be the first between the programs.
