Ole Miss Rebels defeated Arkansas Razorbacks 5-2.

The Razorbacks and Tigers are both being offered at +475 by BetMGM ahead of fellow SEC rival Vanderbilt at +650. The Commodores enter the regionals as the top-ranked team in the country after winning the SEC tournament, and each of the top four seeds hail from the conference.

Half of the 16 regional host teams are from the SEC.

Sixth-ranked LSU also spent time atop the rankings this season, and enters its regional as the book’s biggest liability. The Tigers opened at +1400 to win the title, and have been backed by the most bets with 12.0 percent. Their regional includes Little Rock, Rhode Island and Dallas Baptist.

The shortest odds for a non-SEC team belong to No. 5 North Carolina at +850, followed by No. 2 Texas at +1000. While the Longhorns spent several weeks ranked No. 1 and won the SEC’s regular-season crown, it is the Tar Heels who have been backed by the most title money wagered on any team at 13.2 percent.

North Carolina is BetMGM’s third-biggest liability, right behind Texas, which has drawn 8.7 percent of the money while seeing its odds shift significantly from opening at +2500.

Defending champion Tennessee is being offered at +1200. The Volunteers have endured an inconsistent season while seeing their odds lengthen from +900. Thy have still been backed by 8.7 percent of all CWS title bets.

All of college football is coming for Bill Belichick

Of all the people thrilled that Bill Belichick and UNC flamed out so spectacularly Monday night — other ACC programs, Jets fans, Robert Kraft (probably) — no crew went harder at Belichick’s neck than TCU’s social media. Deploying an array of memes, quote-tweets and one-shot jabs, TCU’s social media crew carved up Belichick, Carolina and anyone who dared to shower love on the Tar Heels prior to 8:12 p.m. Eastern:All the pregame hype — the Duke-basketball’s-coming levels of enthusiasm, the return of notable alumni and celebrity hangers-on, the “Chapel Bill” iconography everywhere — all dissipated in a fine baby-blue mist once TCU got to work on the Heels.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAnd just like that, Belichick’s well-honed and familiar crabby routines — no names on the depth chart, a perma-scowl on the sideline, grumpiness at the postgame podium — seem more than a little […]

Škoda, že mi dnes odjel servis na dovolenou,“ uvedla Krejčíková.„V prvním setu jsem bohužel měla úspěšnost prvního servisu 40 procent. S tím se prostě nedá proti hráčce z top ten hrát. To mě hodně mrzí, ale co se dá dělat,“ podotkla dvojnásobná grandslamová vítězka ve dvouhře.Krejčíková ztratila duel za necelou hodinu a půl. O podání přišla pětkrát, soupeřce vzdala servis jen dvakrát. Loňská finalistka Pegulaová pokračuje v turnaji bez ztráty setu.„Je nepříjemná v tom, že jí to tady sedí. Sedí jí, že ten míček tady létá hodně nízko a je to tady hodně rychlé. Snažila jsem se to mixovat, jak to šlo, měnit tempo, ale moc mi to nešlo.
