Two prominent college baseball media entities both predict the Sooners will begin their 2025 postseason quest on the East Coast.

Vanderbilt struck for four runs in the third inning off Oklahoma starter Cade Crossland. The Commodores tallied the four runs off four hits and a Sooners error. OU, which has still only scored more than five runs once since April 25, couldn't get things going offensively enough to rally.

A handful of upsets have already occurred at the 2025 SEC baseball tournament. The eighth-seeded Tennessee Volunteers and seventh-seeded Ole Miss Rebels advanced to Saturday's semifinals with quarterfinal victories over the top two seeds. The LSU Tigers and the Vanderbilt Commodores are the only top-four seeds still alive in Hoover, Alabama.
