The usual suspects remain as the SEC baseball tournament's Final Four gets underway on Saturday. Both matchups are rematches of prior tournament games due to the nature of the beast, and the good news is they are interesting enough in multiple ways that fans of the conference and sport in general won't want to miss out. With a trip to the SEC title game on the line, expect LSU, Arkansas, Kentucky and Florida to pull no punches. ...

The stage is set for the Final Four portion of the 2014 SEC baseball tournament bracket after two tense contests on Friday foreshadowed the strong weekend of play yet to come. Arkansas kicked things off with an epic comeback to down Ole Miss, and as a result, it gets another shot at LSU in a matchup that is becoming one of the conference's better rivalries. Shortly after, Florida kept the ball rolling and gets a fateful rematch ...

Five players make a basketball team. But all it takes is three really good ones to form an ominous lineup. Call them what you want: trios, big threes, three-headed monsters. Any of those labels apply to these 10 threesomes that will be the talk of the 2014-15 college basketball season. This isn't to say they're the only good players in Division I, nor are their teams the only ones featuring quality lineups. Rather, the combination of each ...

Fear not, for the 2014 ACC tournament has plenty of twists and turns left for its final day with the top spot in Pool A still up for grabs. Clemson could've wrapped up the pool on Friday if it beat Georgia Tech. Instead, the Tigers fell, 3-0, meaning that if Miami beats Duke on Saturday, the Yellow Jackets will win the pool. The Blue Devils own the head-to-head advantage by virtue of their win over Tech ...

The confusing part of the SEC tournament is over. At this stage, teams either win and advance or lose and go home. Top seeds Florida and Ole Miss both lost in their opening games at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium but bounced back to remain alive for the conference title. Gators catcher Taylor Gushue explained after the win, via Sean Cartell of SECDigitalNetwork.com: "We didn’t play the game we wanted to yesterday. Coming back in to today, we needed to get ...

Pinpointing the top defenders after spring practice is no simple task. Sure, many SEC observers could have picked out Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley and South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney at this time last year. Few would have thought Missouri defensive end Michael Sam would beat both out for Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2013 (though Sam split the coaches' award with Mosley). Even fewer would have projected that Clowney wouldn’t be the most productive defensive ...

Held back by various reasons, some former blue-chip recruits will have the opportunity to shine for the Miami Hurricanes in 2014. Head coach Al Golden's ability to develop talent has been questioned, and the upcoming season will better answer that criticism—whether the results end up being positive or negative. From skill positions to the strength of a defense, the once high-profile commits are entering a critical year in their advancement as college athletes. A few of these players ...

Elite linebacker recruit Justin Hilliard has trimmed dozens of collegiate opportunities down to five finalists. The 5-star Cincinnati standout shared a list of the last teams standing via Twitter on Friday morning: His options are down to Alabama, Iowa, Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State, setting the stage for an intriguing final stretch toward a decision. Florida State, Penn State, USC and Michigan State are among the many programs that missed the cut. Hilliard, a 6'2", 230-pound playmaker, is one ...

Head coach Dabo Swinney and his group of assistant coaches have put together a well-rounded group of recruits at this point. The Tigers have the No. 4 recruiting class, according to Scout, and will likely finish very high if they keep the players that they have committed. While this recruiting class does not hold commitments from a big list of 5-stars like we have seen Alabama pull in the past, it is shaping up to be one ...

One of the premier conferences in college baseball continued its tournament on Friday, as the round-robin portion of the ACC tournament really began to heat up.
