2019 SEC Baseball Tournament Semi-finals Schedule, Streams, Times

by Leave a Comment

HOOVER, Ala. – The 2019 SEC Baseball Tournament continues with the semi-final games at Hoover Met. Stadium in Alabama on Saturday with No. 1 seed Vanderbilt among the teams in action.

The pair of fixtures will see defending SEC Baseball Tournament champion and current No. 7 seed Ole Miss taking on No. 3 seed Georgia in the first game, while the top-seeded Vanderbilt will battle against No. 5 LSU in the second encounter.

Live on the SEC Network, WatchESPN and ESPN3 at 2:00 pm ET, Ole Miss will aim to play in the championship game for a second successive year when they lock horns with Georgia.

The Rebels moved into the semi-finals after coming from behind to eliminate Arkansas 3-2 on Friday.

Ole Miss trailed for the entirety of the game, but stepped up in the bottom of the eighth inning and plated two runs to advance.

Meanwhile, the seeded Bulldogs, who beat No. 6 seed Texas A&M and the Razorbacks so far in the SEC Baseball Tournament, enter this meeting full of confidence and will be hoping to stay undefeated.

With Thursday’s 3-1 win over Arkansas, Georgia extended its winning streak to six games and are 44-14 overall on the season.

“It was a well-played game by both teams and the starting pitchers did a good job. Connor Tate gave us some life with another big pinch-hit RBI-double and Patrick Sullivan had a huge at bat to give the lead,” said Ike Cousins head coach Scott Stricklin.

“Those two hits gave us some momentum, and our bullpen took over. That’s the best Ryan Webb has been, and that’s a good sign because we lost him for about six weeks during the season. He didn’t’ want to come out, and we went to Aaron Schunk and he closed it out. “

In the meantime, LSU will be looking to get the better of top seed Vanderbilt when the two powerhouses clash in the second semi-final game at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The Tigers impressively posted a 12-2 win over the third-ranked Mississippi State to advance.

LSU, which improved its overall record to 37-23 on the second, is reaching the SEC Baseball Tournament semi-finals for the seventh-straight year.

The 2017 champions will need to be at their best when coming up against a Vanderbilt team, which stifled Mississippi State’s offense on Thursday to secure a 1-0 win to advance.

The victory saw the Commodores improving to 47-10 on the season overall, while securing their 20th win in the last 21 games.

Waters’ Late Layup Carries No. 2 LSU Past Maryland 69-67 In NCAA Tournament 2nd Round

by Leave a Comment

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tremont Waters finished brilliantly with less than two seconds left on the clock and No. 3 seed LSU furiously held off No. 6 seed Maryland 69-67 in its East Region NCAA Tournament game on Saturday.

With the game locked at 67 apiece, Waters expertly drove by three defenders and then scooped in a banking layup with 1.6 seconds remaining to scored the game-winner and sends LSU (28-6) in the Sweet 16.

The sophomore ended with 12 points and five assists, while Skylar Mays, who knocked down four 3-pointers, including one to knot the game at 67-67 late in the second half, led the Tigers in scoring with 16 points to go with his five rebounds.

LAST TIME LSU REACHED SWEET 16

According to ESPN Stats and Information, the game-winner by Waters pilots LSU in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2006 when the Tigers went to the Final Four.

In 2006 it took a Darrel Mitchell game-winning 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds for the Tigers to beat Texas A&M in the round of 32 game.

Naz Reid added 13 points and scored Darius Days 10 off the bench for LSU, which squandered a 15-point lead and almost got eliminated from the NCAA tournament.

Jalen Smith led the way for Maryland (23-11) with 15 points, eight rebounds and five blocks, while Anthony Cowan Jr. added 11 points and six assists and four boards in the defeat.

Aaron Wiggins contributed 11 points, Bruno Fernando registered a double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds and Darryl Morsell chipped in 10 points for the Terrapins.

LSU will play either Minnesota or Michigan State in the Sweet 16 in Washington D.C. on Friday.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — No. 8 UCF will seek to complete another undefeated season when it faces No. 11 LSU in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl at State Farm Stadium here in Glendale, Arizona to wrap up its campaign. Listen|Notes|Live Stats

Kickoff is set for 1:00 pm. ET on ESPN, WatchESPN, ESPN Radio and FM 96.9/AM 740 The Game.

, ESPN Radio and FM 96.9/AM 740 The Game.

The Knights (12-0) enter their New Year’s Day encounter with Tigers undefeated this season after winning all 12 games so and they will be aiming to record back-to-back 13-0 campaigns.

UCF defeated SEC power Auburn in the Peach Bowl a year ago and the American Athletic Conference will be seeking another SEC powerhouse in its effort to cap back-to-back perfect seasons.

Coach Josh Heupel’s squad, though, will be going up against a LSU team that is determined to end the campaign with double-digit wins.

The UCF Knights come into this encounter owning the longest active win streak in FBS. The AAC ball club are winners of 25 straight contests and hope to tie the 2015-16 Alabama teams for the fourth-longest win streak in the last 20 seasons with a victory against LSU.

After falling behind in what was a very swift pacing College Football Playoff race this season, LSU (9-3) is now just focused on finishing the term with 10 wins.

The Tigers were seriously identified one of the teams to watch at the advancing stage in the season after knocking off two top 10 teams, Miami (8) and Auburn (7) in September.

However, losses to then-No. 22 Florida and No. 1 Alabama realistically ended coach Ed Orgeron team’s playoff dreams.

MIAMI, FL — College Bowl Game Schedule and Live TV Channels and Streams on Jan. 1

New Year’s Day college Football Bowl games continue on Tuesday with No. 5 Georgia and No. 6 Ohio State, the two teams who missed out on the College Football Playoff places, both in action.

The fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (11-2) will close out their season against No. 15 Texas in the Sugar Bowl.

Kirby Smart Georgia Football coach

Live action from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, is set for 8:45 pm ET and ESPN will provide the live television broadcast. WatchESPN will also have live streaming coverage.

These two standout football programs are expected to entice a large audience for one of the more attention-seeking matchups of this bowl season.

Georgia won the SEC East, but blew a 14-point lead and fell to No. 1 Alabama in the SEC championship.

The loss to the Crimson Tide ultimately ended the Bulldogs’ prospect of securing back-to-back College Football Playoff trips, but they are buzzing to end the campaign on a winning note.

“These kids recover faster than you think they do,” Georgia second-year coach Kirby Smart said ahead of the game with Texas.

“Obviously there’s disappointment in the [SEC championship] result but there’s also the opportunity to move forward with a young team and a chance to go on a national stage with our fans, who I know will follow us to play in a New Year’s Six bowl game.”

Meanwhile, the Longhorns (9-4) also have enjoyed a respectable season and they will be determined to beat a team of Georgia’s caliber in a such a big bowl game.

“We do want them to enjoy the time in New Orleans — our team has earned this,” Texas coach Tom Herman said.

“This is a tremendous bowl game and a tremendous city. But we also know that we’ve come here with a job to do, too, and that’s to win the Sugar Bowl championship.

“When it’s time to work, we’re going to be dialed in, focused in, and ready to work.”

Georgia, which will finish the term with back-to-back double wins seasons for the first time since 2014 and 2015, has a 77.6 percent chance to win this game, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.

Another New Year’s Day college football game that is expected to draw attention is the Rose Bowl matchup between No. 6 Ohio State and No. 9 Washington.

These two programs have featured in 15 Rose Bowls apiece, but this is the first time they will be facing one another in this fixture.

ESPN’s Football Power Index is giving the Buckeyes (12-1) a 56.2 chance to beat the Huskies (10-3) in what will be a farewell for coach Urban Meyer, who announced last month that he will be retiring after the Rose Bowl.

This battle between the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions is set for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California and live coverage will be on ESPN and WatchESPN, starting at 5:00 pm ET.

In other New Year’s Day college football games on Tuesday, No. 18 Mississippi State and Iowa will get the ball rolling at the Noon ET in the Outback Bowl, No. 11 LSU and No. 8 UCF play at 1:00 pm in the Fiesta Bowl, while No. 14 Kentucky and No. 12 Penn State battle on ABC and WatchESPN in Citrus Bowl, live at 1:00 pm.

Week 7 College Football Schedule, Streams, TV Channels: Oct. 13

The neutrals have been talking up this game all week, expecting this to be a very close contest, given the talent that is spread out across both these rosters, but ESPN’s Football Power Index is backing Georgia to win easily and stay undefeated on the season.

The Bulldogs (5-0) have won all five games thus far this season, while the LSU (5-1) is coming off a frustrating 27-19 defeat at Florida last weekend.

The last time these two teams played was five years ago when Georgia won the game 44-41.

Georgia currently leads the SEC East standings over Florida and Kentucky, while LSU is looking up at the immortal defending champion Alabama in the SEC West standings.

Georgia looks as good as it did last season and has its eyes well set on the prize that skipped them last season after losing to the Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoffs championship game.

Despite losing for the first time last week, LSU remains confident and will be buzzing to restore itself in the SEC title race with a victory.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – LSU aims to extend its time in the 2018 NCAA Baseball Regional tournament with another win when the SEC ball club square off against Oregon State in the Corvallis Regional Sunday afternoon at Goss Stadium. ESPN3 will also stream the game. WATCH | LISTEN

The No. 2 seeded Tigers rallied in the ninth inning to stave off elimination from the tournament with a thrilling 9-5 victory over No. 4 seed Northwestern State in an elimination game earlier on Sunday.

Trailing entering the top of the ninth inning and heading to bat, LSU trailed 4-5, but scored five runs in that frame to stay alive.

The Tigers will now try to avenge the 14-1 defeat from Saturday night against Corvallis Regional No. 1 seed Oregon State when the pair battle at 9 p.m. ET Saturday.

There will be televised updates on ESPNU during the game and streamed live on WatchESPN.com.

LSU must beat Oregon State twice to advance to the NCAA Super Regional tournament.

“Their closer was tough, but we were able to get some big hits in the ninth inning,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri.

“The hitters came through in a big way for us after we had struggled with some scoring opportunities throughout the game. We’re going to go back to the hotel for a couple of hours and work on a pitching plan to face a very good Oregon State lineup tonight.”

The Beavers only need to win tonight’s game to progress.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – LSU will seek to stay alive in the 2018 NCAA Baseball Regional tournament when it takes on Northwestern State in an elimination game in the NCAA Corvallis Regional at Goss Stadium on Sunday, live on ESPN3 and ESPNU, starting at 3 pm ET.

Besides ESPN3, today’s game is also available on affiliates of the LSU Sports Radio Network, as well as live video stream at WatchESPN.com and the Watch ESPN app. Live Audio | Live Stats

The No. 1 seeded Tigers suffered a 14-1 defeat to Oregon State in a one-sided affair Saturday night and must beat No. 4 seed Northwestern State to extend their run in the postseason.

“That (Saturday’s game) was an extremely rough game for us,” said LSU coach Paul Mainieri. “I think Oregon State had a lot to do with that as they played very well tonight.

“We had some opportunities to score early in the game but we couldn’t capitalize on them, and then the game just got away from us. It was a tough one for us to endure, but Oregon State deserved to win.”

Meanwhile, after losing to Oregon State 9-3 in Friday night’s opening round, the Demons returned with a 9-0 shutout victory over San Diego State for their first NCAA Regional win since 2005 and the first NCAA Regional shutout in program history.

The winner of this game will take on the Beavers, the No. 3 national seed, in the NCAA Corvallis Regional championship game at 9 pm Sunday night for a place in the Super Regionals.
