SEC Tournament - Texas vs. Vanderbilt Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Betting Trends, and Stats
The second game of the day in the SEC Tournament features the Texas Longhorns (17-14, 6-12) and the Vanderbilt Commodores (20-11, 8-10).
Some have Texas on the fringe of the NCAA Tournament conversation. Frankly, that is difficult to believe especially considering how the Longhorns closed the season. Texas lost two of their last three including the season finale at home to Oklahoma, 76-72. Texas needs to make a deep run in the SEC Tournament in order for those conversations to include NCAA Tournament committee members.
Vanderbilt appears to be in the Field of 68. They, however, are not entering today's game playing their best having lost their last two to SEC also-rans Georgia and Arkansas. Thus, it would behoove them to take care of business today against Texas and remove doubt from the committee as to their intentions with the Commodores.

Paul Finebaum names national championship favorite
Paul Finebaum names national championship favorite SEC college football analyst Paul Finebaum has a clear favorite for the national championship. In an interview with Mike Greenberg on ESPN's show "Get Up", Finebaum agreed that the Texas Longhorns should be the favorites to win the 2025-26 national championship. The first reason Finebaum laid out was the Longhorns' burgeoning junior quarterback. "They have Arch Manning," said Finebaum. "He's expected to be better than Quinn Ewers, and if he'd come in in the Cotton Bowl vs. Ohio State, they may have won that game." Georgia was close to landing Arch Manning, but unfortunately, they lost out to Texas at the very end. Now, Georgia will potentially have to face Arch Manning twice in 2025. The Bulldogs host Texas in Athens, Georgia, this November. The teams could meet again in the SEC championship. Finebaum also cited the transfer portal acquisitions and the easy schedule. "They reloaded in the portal to the tune of many millions of dollars, and I think Texas, other than having to go to Ohio State Week 1, Texas is in good shape," Finebaum continued. Texas had the nation's No. 1 recruiting class and No. 25 transfer class. The Longhorns rebuilt their defensive line through the transfer portal, landing Maraad Watson, Travis Shaw, and Cole Brevard. However, the Longhorns have yet to beat Georgia while in the SEC. Georgia handed Texas two of its three losses in the 2024-25 season, including the SEC championship. The two teams will square off in Week 12 for what could be a de facto SEC championship.

Five takeaways from LSU baseball's super regional win vs. West Virginia
Five takeaways from LSU baseball's super regional win vs. West Virginia LSU baseball is headed to Omaha. After sweeping West Virginia in the Baton Rouge Super Regional, LSU punched a ticket to the College World Series. The Tigers erupted for 16 runs in Game 1 before plating 12 more in Game 2. It was just what we wanted to see from the LSU offense after the Tigers' bats were inconsistent at points this spring. Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson didn't pitch at the elite level they did in the regional, but both were good enough to get the wins. Anderson allowed six earned runs, but made it through seven innings in Game 1. Eyanson held WVU to three runs and struck out seven of the course of five innings in Game 2. Tigers' head coach Jay Johnson has now led LSU to Omaha in two of his four years in Baton Rouge. LSU's last CWS trip came in 2023, when the Tigers won it all with Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews. Before LSU continues its quest for another national title, here are five takeaways from LSU's Super Regional win. 1. LSU responded in the seventh inning LSU controlled the game early, scoring six runs in the first two innings. WVU began to stage a comeback. The Mountaineers scored three runs in the fourth and plated another in the fifth. Then, LSU had a response of its own. LSU scored six runs in the seventh inning, putting the game out of reach. It started with a two-run single off the bat of Chris Stanfield. Not long after, Derek Curiel scored on a throwing error. Steven Milam kept the rally going with an RBI double. Jake Brown capped it off with a two-run shot to center field. West Virginia had the momentum entering the seventh, and the Mountaineers were a couple of swings away from tying it up. Good teams respond like LSU did in the seventh. 2. Anderson and Eyanson were good enough Good pitchers find a way to do enough even when they don't have their best stuff. Neither Kade Anderson nor Anthony Eyanson had their best, but they combined to pitch 12 innings and both got the win. Anderson held WVU to one run through five innings, which allowed LSU to build a substantial lead. West Virginia put up some runs in the later innings, but Anderson hung in there and threw 109 pitches, keeping LSU's bullpen rested. On Sunday, Eyanson held WVU to three runs in five innings. Between the regional and the super regional, Eyanson allowed just three runs over 13.2 innings. LSU can't expect eight shutout innings from Anderson and Eyanson every night, but the Tigers proved they can win a different style of game vs. West Virginia. 3. Steven Milam was a star Steven Milam had ups and downs in the regular season, but he's been a star for LSU in the NCAA Tournament. He stayed hot vs. West Virginia. On Saturday, Milam came to the plate with LSU up 3-1 and the bases loaded. Milam put one in the bleachers to give LSU a 7-1 lead. Milam walked twice and scored two runs. On Sunday, Milam had two more extra-base hits with four RBI. Again, he walked twice and scored twice. If Milam is going to hit like this, it changes the outlook for LSU's lineup. It gives the Tigers another all-around bat in the middle of the lineup. "He will play baseball for a very long time if he takes the caliber of at-bats that he has," Jay Johnson said of Milam last weekend. 4. Potential emergence of Cooper Williams Aside from Casan Evans, LSU's bullpen has struggled in recent weeks. Even Zac Cowan has faltered after being one of the nation's most effective relievers for most of the year. LSU needed another bullpen arm to emerge -- it might just be Cooper Williams. Williams, a true freshman, was ranked as the No. 12 left-handed pitcher in the 2024 class by Perfect Game. He began his career without allowing an earned run in his first 12 appearances, but didn't see a ton of high leverage spots in the regular season. After LSU struggled to get outs last Sunday vs. Little Rock, Williams entered and pitched 3.2 scoreless innings. Then, a week later vs. West Virginia, Johnson called on Williams with the tying run at the plate. Williams delivered and gave LSU 2.2 innings, allowing just one run. That'll play. In 19.2 innings, Williams owns a 1.83 ERA this year. LSU will need a strong effort from the freshman in Omaha. 5. LSU looks like a complete team The Super Regional was LSU at its best. The Tigers have not played two straight complete games like vs. a quality opponent all year. Sure, the Tigers have found ways to win, but LSU was dominant in every phase of the game vs. the Mountaineers. This team is good enough to go all the way in Omaha. We had questions about the lineup entering the weekend. Those were answered. We know guys like Derek Curiel and Daniel Dickinson are going to produce, but when Milam, Brown, and Josh Pearson are showing off the power too, it's hard to find outs vs. this group. And Tiger fans should feel better about the bullpen now, too. LSU finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the polls for a reason. When this squad plays to its potential, it's the best in the country.

Pacers need Tyrese Haliburton to be more selfish with his scoring
OKLAHOMA CITY — There were no fourth-quarter heroics for the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals — or for their star, Tyrese Haliburton. After hitting the game-winning shot in Thursday's Game 1, Haliburton was held in check by the Oklahoma City Thunder's stifling defense. Haliburton made just one field goal in the first half, scoring three points. At the end of the third quarter, he had just five points, three rebounds, four assists and three turnovers, and OKC had a 19-point lead. Advertisement Though Haliburton finished with 17 points, most of those came when the game was out of hand during Indiana's 123-107 loss. 'My main thing is to stay in front of him and make everything tough,' Thunder defensive stalwart Lu Dort said. 'He's a great player. He is going to make some tough shots and great reads, so I just have to stay in front of him.' Haliburton has had at least one low-scoring game in each round of this year's playoffs. In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks, Haliburton finished with eight points. In the second round against the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, he had just four points. And in the opening game of the first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Haliburton contributed just 10 points. 'There's a lot more to the game than just scoring,' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. 'So everybody's got to do more. It starts with the best players, starts with Tyrese and Pascal (Siakam) and Myles (Turner) … and then it goes from there. And so people shouldn't just look at (Haliburton's) points and assists and judge how he played, or judge how any of our guys played, just on that. 'That's just not how our team is built. I mean, we're an ecosystem that has to function together, and we got to score enough points to win the game, but who gets them and how they get them? Not important.' Haliburton isn't a scoring point guard but one who shares the ball, setting up his teammates to make plays. Still, games in which he has long stretches without scoring negatively impact Indiana's chances of winning. 'Kind of speaking on the way they play, tonight they had five or six guys in 12 to 17-point range,' Thunder super sub Alex Caruso said. 'All of them took about 10 to 12 shots. They're a very unselfish team. They're a very consistent team with whoever the ball finds, that person is aggressive to score. They got good players. Advertisement 'It comes down to making it as hard as we can for them and trying to force tough shots and finish possessions.' The Thunder defense, the best in the NBA all season, has limited Haliburton so far in this series. He had 14 points in Game 1, though the last two were memorable. 'This is who they are defensively,' Haliburton said. 'A lot of the guys who can guard the ball fly around. They're really physical, (they) force the officials to let us play a little bit more. So, just gotta do a better job playing through there. I think I've had two really poor first halves. Just got to figure out how to be better earlier in games.' Siakam noted that Haliburton wasn't the only Pacer who stalled in Game 2. 'They've been super aggressive on Tyrese for sure, but on everyone,' Siakam said. 'They're ball-pressuring. We got to be stronger with the ball. We got to find ways to still be aggressive and attacking. But I think it's not just Ty. I think it's everyone.' If Indiana is going to win this series, Haliburton needs to be more assertive about scoring early in games. In Game 1, the Pacers hung in there until he found his rhythm late. But Indiana can't continue to come from behind against a team as good as Oklahoma City. Haliburton needs to be a little more selfish with the ball and attack more. One way Haliburton's teammates think they can get their star going is by getting into the paint more often. The Thunder outscored the Pacers 26 to 12 in the paint in the first half and 46 to 34 for the game. 'We've been one of the better teams going to the paint all year, and we had to establish that early,' Turner said. 'And that's not Pacers basketball. When you live or die by that 3 or midrange shots, it doesn't always fare well.' Haliburton is ready to make adjustments. 'I think through the course of a series, even in the games that you lose, you're trying to learn from them, see where you can get better,' Haliburton said. 'We had some success there (with) me playing off the pitch a little bit more, flying around, rather than throwing that high ball screen, which I feel like I am really successful at. That gives them a chance to really load up, pack the paint. They're giving me different looks, so I gotta do a better job just figuring out where I could be better. Advertisement 'Already through these first two games, I'm learning where my spots are, where I can be better. We'll take the good and the bad, watch film, see what we can improve on in the next game.' The next game, Game 3 on Wednesday, will be the first NBA Finals game in Indianapolis since Game 5 of the 2000 NBA Finals. Down 3-1, the Pacers destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers by 33 in a game they had to win to extend the series. In this series, the Pacers will return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse with a win under their belt after taking Game 1 in Oklahoma City. 'It's still a race, first to four,' Haliburton said. 'We are going to our home court tied 1-1, and we love playing at home. Love playing in front of our fans. Our fans are amazing. So just see where we can get better, and yeah, take it a day at a time.' Turner, for one, is anticipating the Thunder will get a loud crowd like the Pacers received in Oklahoma City. 'I just know Gainbridge is going to be rocking,' Turner said. 'I love our environment. You give credit where credit is due. This is a great environment. Oklahoma City did a great job showing up with their fans and whatnot. I expect it to be a lot louder in Indianapolis. 'I know how long this city has been waiting for this Finals experience. They are going to show up.' (Photo of Tyrese Haliburton being defended by Lu Dort: William Purnell / Getty Images)
