Auburn baseball grabs No. 6 seed in SEC Tournament
Auburn baseball grabs No. 6 seed in SEC Tournament After missing the tournament last year, Auburn returns to Hoover with a first round bye.
Auburn baseball wrapped up the regular season on Saturday by erasing a 7-3 deficit in the middle innings to beat Ole Miss, 13-8, at Swayze Field in Oxford, Mississippi. Auburn logged 13 hits in the win with Chris Rembert, Eric Guevara, Cooper McMurray, and Bristol Carter logging multiple hits in the game.
Now that the regular season has concluded, Auburn will shift its focus to the SEC Tournament, where it earned the No. 6 seed and a first-round bye. The Tigers will open play on Wednesday, with first pitch coming at approximately 8 p.m. CT against the winner of Tuesday's contest between No. 11 Mississippi State and No. 14 Texas A&M. Should Auburn advance, they will meet up with No. 3 seed LSU on Friday at 6 p.m. CT.
Auburn won its season series over Mississippi State, 2-1, during the weekend of April 25 at Plainsman Park. A four-run 4th inning, which included a two-run double by Chris Rembert, was enough to give Auburn the game one win, while a three-RBI game by Cooper McMurray and Lucas Steele helped the Tigers clinch the series in game three of the weekend. Auburn and Texas A&M did not meet in regular-season play.
Auburn secured the No. 6 seed despite losing the series to Ole Miss. With Saturday's win, the Tigers jumped the Rebels, breaking a 16-13 conference record tie, and escaped a three-way tie for seventh place with Tennessee and Alabama, who both finished 16-14. SEC newcomer Texas wrapped up the No. 1 overall seed with a 22-8 record against conference foes, two games ahead of No. 2 seed Arkansas. LSU, Vanderbilt, and Georgia are the top five ahead of Auburn.

Golden State coach unearths blueprint for slowing Caitlin Clark
After holding Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark to 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting from the field and 0-of-7 from 3-point territory. In front of a raucous Chase Center crowd, Golden State gave Clark fits on Thursday night. Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase was asked to share the secret for her team's defensive successes against Clark. "I mean, you guys saw what we're doing. We were being disruptive. We know she doesn't like physicality," Nakase said. "We know she wants to get to that left stepback. I watched her at Iowa. She loves that left stepback, it's almost like a layup for her. So we were just making sure she wasn't getting into rhythm and then that she was seeing multiple bodies." While it's no secret that teams across the league have been trying to apply physical pressure on Clark since she arrived in the league, the challenge of executing such tactics for a full game has rarely been achieved. Golden State's defensive approach will continue to be commonplace against Clark and occasionally could create some of the hostility that erupted during Indiana's June 14 win against the Connecticut Sun. The Fever and Valkyries will meet again on July 9 from Indianapolis where Clark will undoubtedly have plenty of motivation to make amends and to let Golden State witness her scoring abilities in front of a crazed Fever faithful.

Podcast predicts MSU's Aidan Chiles to be top 20 QB nationally this season
One well-known college football podcast is expecting big things from Michigan State's signal caller this upcoming season. The official X account for the College Football with Sam podcast recently posted that they anticipate a big season for Spartans quarterback Aidan Chiles. The account made the strong statement that Chiles will be a "top 20 quarter back in college football" this upcoming season. The post from College Football with Sam noted "having a much healthier and deep offensive line" paired with a "lethal" receiving unit will play a big role in Chiles' growth this year. Chiles -- who is entering his second season as the Spartans' starter -- will look for more consistency from last year. Chiles finished the season with 2,415 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a completion percentage of 59.4%. His 11 interceptions led the Big Ten last year, but eight of those came in the first six games compared to only three in the second half of the year. Michigan State opens the 2025 season on August 29 against Western Michigan. The game is set to kickoff at 7 p.m. ET from Spartan Stadium and will be televised on FS1.
