The SEC Tournament Championship Game features neither of the top 2 seeds in the bracket, yet it feels like a true clash of titans through the first 20 minutes.
Fourth-seeded Vanderbilt is facing third-seeded Arkansas in Sunday’s title bout, and the two sides have traded haymakers throughout the afternoon to make the score read 41-39 at halftime.

Here are the live odds on Kalshi:
John Calipari has received his normal contributions from his star-studded backcourt, headlined by 14 points from sophomore Billy Richmond. Freshman phenom Darius Acuff Jr. has tacked on a dozen points while fellow freshman Meleek Thomas added seven.
But the Commodores have countered with senior Tyler Nickel’s 13 points on 3-for-5 shooting from behind the arc, while senior Duke Miles has maintained momentum from his 30-point performance on Saturday by pouring in a dozen.
The Razorbacks led for the majority of the first half but never by more than 7, and Vandy made a strong push late to make this a tight game heading into the break. The ‘Dores have used 5 steals and 9 fast-break points to stay in this one.
Acuff notably gave the Razorbacks the lead with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer as the half came to a close, capping a flurry of back-and-forth scoring down the stretch.
