No. 10 Texas A&M<\/a> (37-12, 16-10 SEC) has now lost consecutive SEC series to Auburn and Ole Miss, and will host No. 13 Mississippi State for the final regular-season series before the SEC Tournament, starting on Thursday night. Looking ahead, the Aggies, despite losing four of their last seven games, are in a great position to earn a top 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n Still, the national projections are varied, including USA TODAY Sports<\/a> predicting Texas A&M<\/a> to earn the No. 11 seed, while D1Baseball has continued to play in the Aggies’ favor, taking into account the program’s strong res\u0301ume, including double-digit Quad 1 victories, while coach Mike Earley’s team has yet to be swept in SEC play, paired with Georgia, Texas, and Kentucky.<\/p>\n However, the Aggies are dealing with significant injury issues that likely led to last weekend’s rubber match loss to Ole Miss, as freshmen starting infielders Boston Kellner<\/a> and Nico Partida have missed multiple games. While Partida’s status remains unknown, Earley stated on Monday that Boston Kellner could return for the weekend series, barring any setbacks.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, D1Baseball’s<\/a> experienced writers released their latest NCAA Tournament projections, keeping Texas A&M as the No. 8 national seed in the College Station Regional, hosting a field consisting of No. 24 Cincinnati, UTSA, and Binghamton. If Texas A&M defeats Mississippi State, I fully expect the Aggies to earn as high as the 6-seed heading into Selection Sunday.<\/p>\n Contact\/Follow us\u00a0@AggiesWire<\/a>\u00a0on X\u00a0(formerly Twitter) and like our page on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.\u00a0Follow Cameron on X:\u00a0@CameronOhnysty<\/a>.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
