Auburn, Florida lead stacked SEC men's basketball tournament
The SEC men's basketball tournament is setting up to be an exciting one with a potential for a major impact on the March Madness field.
Sports Seriously
The SEC men's basketball tournament boils down to No. 6 Tennessee and No. 8 Florida — two of the best teams in the country — facing off in Sunday's championship game.
The fourth-seed Volunteers (27-6) are flying high after upsetting No. 1 seed Auburn in the semifinals, holding off a late surge to win a battle between two contenders going into the Big Dance. Guard Zakai Zeigler lead the way with 20 points, while Jordan Gainey chipped in 15 off the bench. Tennessee will be hoping to repeat the outstanding defensive performance seen the last time they met the Gators, a 64-44 win on February 1.
The Gators (29-4), meanwhile, are hoping to convert a No. 2 SEC seed into a No. 1 at March Madness. Florida enters this championship game on a five-game winning streak, during which they've taken down four nationally-ranked foes (including a 104-82 win over Alabama on Saturday). Head coach Todd Golden's Gators are seventh in the nation on the offensive glass, which could create the second-chance points that break open tight games.
Here's what to know to see two national-title contenders battle for SEC supremacy at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn., including ticket prices and game time.

Where Will Sam Bennett Play Next Season? New Bettting Odds Spark Major Buzz
Panthers' Sam Bennett betting odds for next team officially come out with sizeable front runner ahead of the pack Image After another bruising and productive postseason, Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett is gaining attention not just for his on-ice heroics but also for his uncertain future. Advertisement The 28-year-old has been a difference-maker in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, leading the league with 10 goals in 17 games to go with 6 assists, 58 shots, and a whopping 91 hits. He's been instrumental during Florida's Finals run, including a highlight-reel breakaway goal in Game 3 after delivering a thunderous hit to ignite the play. This follows his 2024 playoff campaign where he produced 7 goals and 7 assists in 19 games during Florida's Cup win. Over the past two postseasons, Bennett has racked up 17 goals and 13 assists in 36 games while playing a physical, agitating, and clutch brand of hockey. As a pending unrestricted free agent, teams across the league are watching closely—and sportsbooks are already lining up next-team odds for the rugged forward. Betting Odds: Sam Bennett's Next Team per FanDuel Sportsbook Florida Panthers –230 Toronto Maple Leafs +500 Vegas Golden Knights +900 Boston Bruins +2200 Los Angeles Kings +2600 Ottawa Senators +2600 Colorado Avalanche +3400 New York Rangers +3400 Vancouver Canucks +3400 New Jersey Devils +3400 Detroit Red Wings +3700 St. Louis Blues +3700 Buffalo Sabres +4500 Anaheim Ducks +4500 Advertisement More NHL: Florida Fade: Why Bettors Should Rethink Backing McDavid on the Road in Cup Final Florida Panthers (–230) The Panthers are the clear betting favorite to retain Bennett and for good reason. He's a perfect fit for Florida's system with a fast and physical playstyle that works well in Paul Maurice's system and has proven to be successful in the playoffs. He's already racked up a league-best 14 goals this postseason, including five goals over his last four games. Florida has created a winning culture in a location that's very hard to beat with nice weather all year round and no-state tax that has allowed Bennett to keep more of his money. He's been vital to the success of the Panthers for the last three seasons and will likely be one of the main priorities for management this off-season. Toronto Maple Leafs (+500) A homecoming to Toronto is definitely a possibility as the Buds are desperately looking for playoff competitors with Bennett being one of the best in the league. Bennett's grit and playoff prowess could be a massive addition to a Leafs team that has always struggled to close out series due to their stars failing to play at their best when it counts. The Leafs could also benefit from his versatility as he's able to play center or wing. If Bennett is interested, Toronto will do everything they can to get him as they'll have extra cap space following the likely departure of Mitch Marner. Vegas Golden Knights (+900) The Golden Knights have built their identity on being aggressive with acquiring playoff-tested forwards like Bennett. If Vegas doesn't retain all of its current free agents, there could be a roster and cap-space opening for a player with his unique blend of scoring touch and sandpaper that Vegas is known for as well as Florida. His game would mesh well with Bruce Cassidy's system, particularly in heavy matchups. Boston Bruins (+2200) Boston has been on the hunt for a gritty forward who thrives in the playoffs and after last season's 33-39-10 record, they'll be looking to make some serious changes to get themselves back into playoff contention. Bennett fits that bill of a Boston Bruin and could play the Charlie Coyle-style hybrid role up and down the lineup with his ability to play multiple positions. Cap gymnastics may be needed but the Bruins have a winning culture that is always enticing to free agents. Los Angeles Kings (+2600) The Kings are an intriguing dark horse. They have young, impactful centers but may look to add more physical edge and depth scoring. Edmonton disposed of LA for the fourth year in a row this postseason and could influence the Kings to try and make a serious move like bringing in Bennett. Advertisement If the Kings are looking to retool, his veteran presence could make sense—especially as a tone-setter on the road. Ottawa Senators (+2600) If Ottawa aims to accelerate its rebuild into playoff contention, a forward like Bennett makes sense. He brings experience and edge, and his Ontario roots might play well with fans and local interest. Still, the Sens would likely need to overpay to outbid a win-now contender. Colorado Avalanche (+3400) Colorado is a bit of a longshot considering their cap, but Bennett's game has traits the Avs might appreciate, particularly his toughness, versatility, and postseason success. He could slot in as a utility forward with significantly less pressure as he goes undercover behind their top stars like Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Gabriel Landeskog. Bennett would propel the Avalanche to potentially the best forward group in the NHL but it all depends on financial flexibility. New York Rangers (+3400) The Rangers have often lacked grit in the playoffs, and Bennett could help fix that. This season was a turbulent one in New York and they may be looking for a serious shakeup to the roster after closing in on a deal to send longtime Ranger Chris Kreider to the Ducks. Bennett's ability to draw penalties, create chaos, and contribute timely goals could complement New York's elite skill players they already have in Mika Zibanejad and Artemi Panarin. Vancouver Canucks (+3400) Vancouver's deep run last season showed they're on the cusp. But after a dramatic season with locker room problems and losing a key player in J.T. Miller, they could be looking to add another big ticket winger that could help the Canucks back into the playoff picture. Adding a playoff-tested player like Bennett would bring edge and scoring, especially on a team needing consistency from their forward group. The Canucks' cap situation is tight, but if they create space, Bennett could thrive there. Advertisement More NHL: 2026 Stanley Cup Odds: Oilers, Panthers Lead Early Contenders But One Unexpected Favourite Emerges New Jersey Devils (+3400) New Jersey is building a dynamic core but could use some grit and playoff experience up front. Bennett could be an anchor on a line with younger talent, helping push the team further in the playoffs. Detroit Red Wings (+3700) Detroit's slow but steady progress makes them a sleeper pick for Bennett. The Red Wings lack playoff seasoning as their roster is still very young and bringing in a player of Bennett's caliber could help them into the playoffs after just barely missing out the last two seasons. Advertisement Bennett could be a stabilizing two-way player in their top six, mentoring younger forwards with his playoff experience. Still, Detroit would be required to go all-in for a player like Bennett and they may not have enough cap space to make the move. St. Louis Blues (+3700) The Blues had he identity of a gritty, phyical team when they won the Stanley Cup back in 2019 and still today, they work well with forwards like Bennett. His gritty style fits their mold, and he'd be a solid piece in a team on the rise as the Blues are almost complete with their retooling phase. St. Louis may have some big upcoming contracts like keeping Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas for the rest of their careers which may limit the feasibility with the cap. More NHL: New Jonathan Toews Next Team Betting Odds Revealed With Unexpected Frontrunner Buffalo Sabres (+4500) Buffalo is improving, but remains far from playoff contention. GM Kevyn Adams has been vocal about how aggressive the Sabres will be this off-season as their players are begging for a chance to play in meaningful games. Bennett would be a major asset for Buffalo as a locker-room leader, playoff performer and a cornerstone piece for a hopeful contender in the future. The Sabres have cap space, but it's unlikely Bennett would choose a non-contender unless he's paid handsomely. Anaheim Ducks (+4500) Anaheim's odds are long for a reason. While Bennett would provide leadership and energy, the Ducks are rebuilding and likely won't be a competitive team in the near term. Like the Sabres, GM Pat Verbeek spoke out about wanting to be agressive this off-season and made the bold proclamation that he wants Anaheim back in the playoffs next season. Advertisement Bennett would be a key player in getting the Ducks back in contention and excel when getting there. He'd also be a solid mentor for a young roster, but it's a fit better suited for a veteran on a long-term deal—something Bennett may not seek.

Tennessee guard Jahmai Mashack reveals mindset in NBA draft workouts
Tennessee guard Jahmai Mashack reveals mindset in NBA draft workouts Jahmai Mashack established himself as a tremendous defender, and the former Tennessee guard is looking to showcase that ability and more in predraft workouts. Mashack was named to the SEC All-Defensive Team, averaging six points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.5 assists on 35.1% shooting from 3-point range in 38 games. He scored in double figures six times, including a season-high 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists on March 14. The 6-foot-5 standout completed his ninth team workout on Tuesday. He wants to demonstrate his overall skill set and ability, with a particular emphasis on his offensive capabilities. "My ability to catch and shoot, and my ability to play out of closeouts," Mashack said after working out with the Portland Trail Blazers. "The NBA is really going toward a closeout league where you've got to be able to shoot, pass or drive the ball effectively in point-five seconds. To be able to show that consistently and know I'm a good decision-maker when I get paint touches." Mashack was a Naismith Defensive Player of the Year finalist, ranking second in the country in defensive box plus-minus last season (plus-seven). He was one of 14 players, including one of six in a power conference, to record at least 60 steals (64) and 20 blocked shots (20). The 22-year-old competed in the G League Elite Camp last month, averaging five points, two steals, 1.5 rebounds and one assist in two scrimmage games. He also registered a 6-foot, 7 3/4-inch wingspan in the anthropometric measurement testing. Mashack isn't projected to be drafted, though he believes he has had some solid performances during his prior workouts. He is looking to finish the predraft process strong and secure a spot with the right team in the draft on June 25-26 in Brooklyn, New York. "I want to find the best fit possible, and I feel like there are a lot of NBA teams that like and enjoy the way that I play," Mashack said. "I want to just be with (a team) that is going to value that and cherish that and grow that as I try to become the best player I can be."

Historic College Football Program Lands Former National Championship Coach
Historic College Football Program Lands Former National Championship Coach originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tennessee Volunteers made an addition to their coaching staff Monday. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz reported the Volunteers hired defensive assistant coach Marion Hobby. Advertisement An ex-Tennessee first-team All-SEC player, Hobby will serve as a defensive analyst for the Volunteers. "Hobby, a former All-SEC player at Tennessee, has coached in four NFL conference championship games (Saints, Jaguars, Bengals 2x) and a Super Bowl," Zenitz posted on X. "Hobby was also part of Clemson's 2016 national championship team." Hobby spent the past four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals as their defensive line coach. The longtime assist had been an NFL defensive line coach since 2017. From 2017-18, he coached the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line. Before joining the Bengals, Hobby coached for the Miami Dolphins from 2019-20. New Tennessee Volunteers defensive assistant Marion Hobby© Albert Cesare-Imagn Images Hobby played defensive end at Tennessee in the late 1980s. The Minnesota Vikings drafted him at No. 74 overall during the third round of the 1990 NFL Draft. Advertisement Hobby never appeared in a game for the Vikings, but he played 42 contests for the New England Patriots. The defensive end began his coaching career as a strength and conditioning coach for the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks in 1995. Hobby was an assistant strength and conditioning coach with Tennessee's 1998 national championship team. He received his first opportunity to coach a defensive line unit with the Ole Miss Rebels in 1999. Hobby coached at Ole Miss for five years and then spent one season with the Clemson Tigers before jumping to the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. After two seasons with the Saints, Hobby returned to the college ranks with the Duke Blue Devils. He then became co-defensive coordinator at Clemson from 2011-16 before going back to the NFL. Advertisement Clearly, Hobby will bring decades of experience to the Tennessee defensive staff. "The Volunteers are hoping to get back to the College Football Playoff, and adding an experienced coach who knows what it takes to succeed in Knoxville is a huge move," wrote On3's Steve Samra.
