LATEST UPDATE: Thirty minutes before tipoff, Vanderbilt is a 1.5-point favorite in BetMGM's SEC Tournament odds for the final. The Commodores opened -2.5 Sunday evening and briefly touched -3.5 overnight, then made their way down to -1.5 this morning.

"We're taking 50/50 action on this. There's slightly more Vandy -1.5 money, so the book will probably want Arkansas. But it's very close," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said.

The total is at 164.5, having just moved there from the 163.5 low point, after opening at 166.5. Despite the big drop overall, Cipollini said BetMGM still prefers an Under today.

OPENING ODDS UPDATE: No. 4 seed Vanderbilt (26-7 SU/18-14 ATS) took down No. 1 seed Florida in shocking fashion Saturday. The Commodores rolled to a 91-74 victory as 7.5-point underdogs vs. the Gators, who were on a 12-game win streak.

No. 3 seed Arkansas (25-8 SU/21-12 ATS) finally ended the stunning run of No. 15 Ole Miss, in Saturday's second semifinal. The Razorbacks were 9.5-point favorites, but got forced to overtime in a 79-79 tie. Arkansas went on to win 93-90.

Vanderbilt opened as a 1.5-point favorite vs. Arkansas in DraftKings Sportsbook's SEC Tournament odds for Sunday's final. Within a few minutes early Saturday evening, the Commodores advanced to -2.5, and that's where they sit at midnight ET Saturday.

It's two-way spread play in the early going, with 53% of bets on Arkansas/53% of money on Vandy. Early moneyline action is leaning into underdog Arkansas, which is taking 59% of bets/82% of money.

DK's total plunged from a 169.5 opener to 165.5 Saturday night. The Under is getting 53% of early bets, while 65% of early cash is on the Over.
