Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard came into the SEC tournament confident that his team would make the NCAA tourney and could even play its way into a higher NCAA seed.
Mission accomplished, he said, after the Crimson Tide lost 3-2 to second-ranked LSU in Friday’s SEC elimination game.

Paul Finebaum is taking his radio show to Charlotte and will work for ESPN. Good for him.
This deal allows Finebaum a national TV and radio stage with a network that will appreciate him. And he won’t be anywhere close to the most obnoxious personality on the network – Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless have him beat by the lengths of about 17 football fields.

Earlier this week, Alabama beat Auburn in a Monday afternoon SEC tournament baseball game and drew 7,241.
Apparently, we’re supposed to sweat about this, because it’s the smallest crowd for an Alabama-Auburn game in the SEC baseball tournament in Hoover, according to AL.com. They’ve played each other six other times in the Hoover Met, drawing more people each time.

Belmont (38-20) will advance to Friday's elimination game, while Jacksonville State ends the season at 32-26, marking the ninth time in the last 10 years the Gamecocks posted 30 or more wins.

The Crimson Tide rallied from a three-run deficit in Thursday’s early SEC elimination game at the Hoover Met, and Mikey White’s two-run single in the top of the 10th inning keyed a 7-5 victory over Ole Miss. Seventh-seeded Alabama (34-25) will play the Arkansas-LSU loser Friday at 3 p.m. Ole Miss (37-22) awaits Monday’s announcement of the NCAA tournament field. The Tide also improved to 3-6 in extra-inning games this season, having won two in a row.

Depending on which side of the equation one sits, a double play is either a pitcher’s best friend or a hitter’s nightmare.
Jacksonville State and Eastern Kentucky got ample doses of both Wednesday in their Ohio Valley Conference tournament opener. They combined to turn eight double plays in the game, setting what is believed to be a neutral-site tournament record and tying Southeast Missouri’s team record with four each.
