Greg Sankey is pushing back hard on the super league talk, and he's not mincing words. The SEC commissioner flatly denied that his conference has any interest in forming a power alliance with the Big Ten, calling the idea quote not consistent with the truth. Whether that puts the rumor to rest entirely remains to be seen, but Sankey made clear he's not entertaining it.
Meanwhile on the diamond, Auburn and Ole Miss are going to war in the Super Regional, and a trip to Omaha is sitting right there on the table. The Tigers need two wins to punch their ticket to the College World Series, and they've got a motivated Ole Miss squad standing in the way. This one has all the makings of a classic SEC baseball showdown with everything on the line.
And in the NBA, De'Aaron Fox continues to start over Dylan Harper for the Spurs despite Harper's outstanding playoff run, and coach Mitch Johnson is sticking with his veteran in the lineup against the Knicks. Harper has been electric coming off the bench, but Johnson clearly trusts Fox's experience when the lights are brightest.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
