Tech (48-9) the ACC regular season and ACC Tournament Champion, will be the No. 2 overall seed and open against the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC, 27-27) on Friday at noon at Russ Chandler Stadium. The Citadel and Oklahoma are the other two teams in the four-team Atlanta Regional and they will play on Friday at 5 p.m. in the second game of the day.

The Jackets are 72-62 in Regional play over program history and are 26-15 (.634) when playing Regional games at home.

Tech's 2026 campaign will go down as the greatest regular season in program history, earning its second consecutive regular season ACC Championship while winning the ACC Tournament title in the same season for just the fourth time in program history and set records in offensive output, victories, attendance and revenue generated with a chance to add on even more accolades in the postseason.
