How do you feel about the SEC Tournament coin toss? Plus: Biggest risers at the NFL combine
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! The Oscar for opening your inbox on a Monday goes to you. South Carolina women's basketball will have the No. 1 overall seed in the SEC Tournament thanks to a coin toss victory over No. 6 Texas after the teams ended the regular season in a tie. The coin toss was only third on the list of tiebreak criteria. Thus, we were treated to a riveting 27 seconds of television during halftime of yesterday's LSU-Ole Miss game. Gamecocks win the coin toss!@GamecockWBB will be the No. 1 seed in the SEC women's tournament 🤙 — SEC Network (@SECNetwork) March 2, 2025 SEC commissioner Greg Sankey's custom coin was a nice touch. Other sports use a coin toss to determine seeding, but it's further down the list of criteria. In the NFL, for example, it's the 12th option in the procedure for divisional ties ahead of the playoffs; the NBA and WNBA also have several other criteria. So this brings us to our next Pulse Poll: Should sports be quicker to put seeding to a coin toss? Make your thoughts known. Jacob Robinson was on the ground at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis all of last week gathering insights for Scoop City. In his newsletter later this morning, he'll have an extensive look at risers and fallers after testing — and whether they really matter — but The Pulse got a sneak preview: 📈 QB Brady Cook. No quarterback improved their prospects more than Cook, a projected Day 3 pick/UDFA from Mizzou who struggled with accuracy in college but impressed at the combine. His lower-body explosiveness was on display with a broad jump mark (128 inches) that rivaled Anthony Richardson's record (129 inches) in one of the most predictive metrics for future NFL production. Advertisement 📈 QB Tyler Shough. While Cook's ceiling is limited, Shough showed well and could be an early-round pick. He's the prospect who might fall due to narratives like 'too old' (turns 26 in the fall) and 'injury history' (three major injuries in seven college seasons). Given the recent success of older quarterbacks like Bo Nix, Shough's strong broad jump score and impressive touch could make him the first quarterback taken after Shedeur Sanders. 📈 WR Matthew Golden. After Xavier Worthy's record-setting 2024, a Texas Longhorn again led receivers in the 40-yard dash. Golden's 4.29-second dash suggests the current No. 30 prospect on The Athletic's Big Board will go earlier in the first round. 📈 OL Armand Membou, a 6-foot-3, 332-pound Goliath of an offensive lineman hit a top speed of 20.28 miles per hour during his 40-yard dash, where he set the best mark among all tackles (4.91 seconds) while letting out a primal scream. The speed (and maybe the passion?) vaulted yet another Mizzou kid into the conversation for first offensive lineman drafted. 📈 S Nick Emmanwori. An unparalleled combine performance saw the 6-foot-3, 220-pound product of South Carolina (pictured above) post the best-ever Relative Athletic Score for a safety, ranking first among every safety to test since 1987. He went to the Bills at No. 30 in our pre-combine mock, but after leading the combine in broad jump (11 feet, 6 inches) and vertical (43 inches) while running a 4.38 40-yard dash, he should go higher in the first round. Subscribe to Scoop City for plenty more. Onward: Turner's perfect troll New Blue Jays starter Max Scherzer is very vocally not a fan of the ABS (robo-ump) system that's being tested in MLB spring training, and Phillies shortstop Trea Turner — Scherzer's former teammate — took note. Leading off their game yesterday, Turner challenged the first pitch he saw from Scherzer, a clear strike, just 'to see his eyes roll.' Even the coaching staff and plate umpire were in on the bit. Five Pulse stars for Trea. Messi hopefuls get ticket credit The Houston Dynamo are offering ticket holders who planned to attend yesterday's matchup against Inter Miami a complimentary ticket to a future game, as Lionel Messi did not make the trip with his team. As of Friday, the 'get-in' price for the contest was more than $200 on the resale market. It's not the first time a host team has offered a credit to make up for Messi sitting out, but it remains so odd. More news 📫 Love the Pulse? Check out our other newsletters.

Coin flip to decide SEC Tournament's top seed after South Carolina, Texas wins
After the regular season ended in a tie between No. 1 Texas and No. 6 South Carolina for the SEC women's basketball champion, the No. 1 overall seed for the SEC Tournament will be determined by a coin toss. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey will perform the coin toss — with a custom-made coin that features the logos for both schools — during halftime of the LSU-Ole Miss game Sunday. The three tiebreaker scenarios to determine the SEC's No. 1 seed are: Both teams ended the regular season at 15-1 in the SEC, with their sole losses coming to one another. Texas lost to South Carolina in the teams' first meeting — a 17-point defeat in Columbia in mid-January. The Longhorns returned the favor when the Gamecocks visited Austin in February, earning a four-point win that ended South Carolina's 57-game SEC regular-season win streak. Advertisement The 2025 SEC Tournament begins March 5 in Greenville, S.C., and both the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds receive first- and second-round byes and won't play until March 7. The No. 1 seed plays six hours earlier than the No. 2 seed in that quarterfinal round. The SEC isn't alone in using a coin toss to determine seeding. The NFL has a coin toss as a part of its tiebreaker procedure for divisional ties ahead of the NFL playoffs, but it's the 12th option. Before the NFL gets to the coin toss, it considers head-to-head, best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division, best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference as well as seven other criteria. The NBA has lengthy tiebreaker criteria, as well, if the two tied teams have been equal in head-to-head results, including winning percentages within the division, conference, playoff-qualifying teams and statistical facets (point differential). The WNBA also outlines several criteria for a tiebreak situation when the head-to-head result is the same, including winning percentage against .500-plus teams, point differential in head-to-head games and point differential (net) against all opponents.
