The field for the College World Series was filled on Monday with Alabama defeating St. John’s 7-2 and Oklahoma topping Kansas 13-2 to complete games suspended on Sunday due to weather. The lineup for the first round of the CWS will be Troy against West Virginia and Ole Miss against North Carolina on Friday, and Oklahoma vs Alabama and Texas vs Georgia on Saturday.
There was no public movement on Monday regarding the baseball coaching opening at USC.
From TigerNet: Pickens County judge Jessica Ann Salvini is expected to decide by the end of the week whether Clemson wide receiver Tristan Smith will receive an additional season of NCAA eligibility after attorneys for Smith and the NCAA squared off during a Webex hearing Monday morning. Salvini heard arguments on Smith’s request for a preliminary injunction that would allow him to compete during the 2026 season while his lawsuit against the NCAA proceeds.
A judge in Lubbock, TX, issued a temporary injunction on Monday allowing Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby to play this season following a two-game suspension. The NCAA had permanently suspended Sorsby for placing bets on his own team. The NCAA plans to appeal the ruling.
San Antonio beat the Knicks 115-11 last night at Madison Square Garden and now trails 2-1 in the NBA Finals. Victor Wembanyama scored 32 points, and Stephon Castle added 23, including a clutch 3-pointer with less than two minutes left and the game-clinching free throws with six seconds remaining.
