IF THE TOURNAMENT BEGAN TODAY
It’s going to be a great final day.
Four teams are mathematically possible for an SEC regular-season championship and the No. 1 seed in the SEC tournament as the season approaches its last day. The top four each plays another team within the top four.
Kentucky and Texas A&M are tied for first. The Aggies won the head-to-head.
LSU and Vanderbilt are tied for third. The Tigers won the head-to-head.
Arkansas, Georgia and Ole Miss are tied for sixth. The Razorbacks lost to each and would be eighth. The Bulldogs and Rebels split their season series, so the tiebreaker goes to record against the top seed. Each lost to A&M, Kentucky and LSU but the Rebels beat Vanderbilt.
Alabama and Florida are tied for ninth. The Crimson Tide won the head-to-head.
Mississippi State and Tennessee are tied for 11th. The Volunteers won the head-to-head.
