ATLANTA,GA--As we enter Day Three of the SEC Tournament, it is Re-Match time. For the two teams from Tennessee, Vandy is trying to vindicate their team from a first round loss to the Volunteers. With Vandy's #1 national rating, it was heartening to get beat in the first round by the last seeded Vols. For the Vols, they have been playing tough and have held their own with two great teams in the Commodores and Ole Miss Rebels. The game is on at 6:30 pm central time and should be exciting.

Round 2 of the Re-Match-- we have the florida gators trying to re-gain respect after giving up the first round game to the Gamecocks. Florida basically owned the game until the end and then it went to 12 innings and things just fell for the Gamecocks. The Winner keeps playing and the loser goes home. This 3 pm game central time should be another thriller.

The Leaders--For the rest of the pack, Arkansas and Ole Miss get a day off for leading the series 2-0. The Arkansas pitcher Jess Todd was on fire striking out 17 batters. Todd broke the SEC Tournament record of (15) strikeouts and the Arkansas team record for strikeouts in a game. The Gamecocks couldn't even get a bat any where near the pitches. Ole Miss jumped out early on Tennessee and then just rode it out.

Going Home Early--Alabama and Mississippi State were sent home early. They both played two good games but two losses gets a one way ticket home.

It should be an exciting weekend. We will be watching all the games, grilling out and just having a nice three day weekend keeping the SEC Sports Report up to date. Enjoy your weekend, we will report all the SEC news you need to know.
