For the third weekend in a row, Arkansas is using the same starting rotation. Noland and Wiggins each went 6 innings at the Round Rock Classic, while Smith failed to get through the third inning.

Even with the talented freshman struggling in his second career outing, the trio of starters have a combined 2.97 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 30 1/3 innings so far this year.

Their counterparts at Southeastern Louisiana have also started each of the first two weekends of the season, albeit with much more varying levels of success.

The Lions' three starters have combined for a 4.65 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 31 innings.

However, it's worth mentioning that Southeastern Louisiana has been without arguably its best pitcher because of offseason Tommy John surgery. Brennan Stuprich was a Freshman All-American and the Southland Conference last season, when he went 6-3 with a 2.31 ERA and 1.08 WHIP.

2021 record: 32-24 (22-17 Southland)
2022 record: 4-5
Head coach: Matt Riser (9th season, 269-173)
Conference projection: 1st out of 8 teams in the Southland

~Southeastern Louisiana has finished first or second in the Southland Conference five times under Riser. One of the other three years was the pandemic-shortened season and in another, SELA won the conference tournament. In the other year, it finished third.

~The Lions reached the NCAA Tournament in 2014, 2016 and 2017.

~Four of Southeastern's position players were named preseason first-team All-Southland: first baseman Preston Faulkner, shortstop Evan Keller, catcher Bryce Grizzaffi and center fielder Tyler Finke.

"As far as Southeastern, they’re a team, they play a little bit like Louisiana-Lafayette. They like to run, hit-and-run, create a little havoc. ... That’s their style a little bit. They’ve been at the top of the Southland conference most every year the last few years. They do a really good job down there." -- Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn, on Southeastern Louisiana
