Answer 2

If this holds up, UT and Auburn play for the right to face Florida in the second round. I do not like that, given we have dropped the last two against Tennessee

Answer 3

One without Yeguete and the other an 11AM road start with Rosario out with the flu. We'd beat them in a 3rd game.

Answer 4

With a road win @MSU, UK all but clinched the SEC regular season title and the #1 seed. They only need one more win or a Florida loss to clinch.

Answer 5

^yep... UK gets at least that one win vs UGA in Rupp

The question is does UF prevent UK from going undefeated in the SEC regular season.... Odds are that you all do

Answer 8

We cannot match up with this version of UK. Take UK and lay the points.

Answer 9

We need to shoot for that #2 seed.

Answer 10

Yep. At worst, we need the #3 seed. UK will match up with the #4 seed on Saturday.

Answer 11

I believe the only way we can get a #4 seed is we lose our next 3 games and UT wins their last 4. Don't we own the tiebreaker over Bama, LSU and Miss St?

Answer 12

With a week to go in the regular season ? two games per team remaining ? the SEC Tournament bracket could still mutate in a dozen different directions. But for our purposes and for right now, below is a look at the league

Answer 13

BTW, even with the inexplicable loss to UGA, we still clinched a bye. A #2 or #3 seed is better than the #4 seed though
