2025 SEC Tournament (including bracket/seeding)

I assume no one knows what the tiebreakers are. Kind of pointless at this point I guess with all that will change in the next couple of weeks.

Yea, until there’s probably 2 games left I’m not sure it’s worth diving much into. Big takeaway is Tennessee is absolutely right there for the 4th spot and when you look at the others around them we should fair well with tiebreakers.

Step #1 is avoiding the bottom half that plays the opening day games. At least one of Missouri, Miss, Miss State, A&M, KY, and TN is going to have to play on day one.

I believe Alabama and A&M have more losses coming. Today's game was huge. Mizzou might win out. I think Florida drops 1.

How do you figure?

USC, LSU, Oklahoma, Ark, GA, TU (ut), and VU have almost locked down 7 of the 8 opening day spots. Barn, FL, and Bama have almost guaranteed at least a single bye. That leaves the 6 I’ve listed as competing to avoid the 8 playing on opening day. One of Missouri, Miss, Miss State, A&M, KY, and TN has to get no bye.

Apologies, didn’t realize it’s now 4 games opening night and not 2.

Head-to-head tiebreakers definitely matter and making the picture clearer...

...and Tennessee has a bunch against A&M and Missouri now. If those also take out Bama (at home), Vols looking good to get a double-bye. 3-way ties will go the Vols way, esp now that Kentucky won't be part of a tiebreaker scenario.

I know the goal is to win it all.....banners in the rafters.....etc, etc......but honestly? If we win 1 or 2 just to pad the resume then exit i won't be too disappointed. A week of non stop ball that transitions straight into March Madness hasn't been our friend in terms of getting to the Final Four past couple years........ Tired legs? Emotionally drained? Focus fatigue?......id be ok with extra days off to focus on March to be honest.

Looking at remaining SEC schedules, I think Missouri is our biggest threat in terms of getting that last double bye spot. After tonight we’ll be tied with them but have the tiebreaker. They have USC, at Vandy, at Oklahoma, and Kentucky left. Those last three are all difficult games but none daunting for a team as good as Missouri, though Kentucky should be healthier by that last week. We just need to match them the rest of the way (@lsu, Alabama, @Ole Miss, SC). Assuming we both beat South Carolina at home, we need to have the same record or better against @lsu, Alabama, and @Ole Miss as they do @Vandy, @Oklahoma, and Kentucky

That’s an opinion shared by a lot of posters that don’t think anything outside of the NCAAT matters. Despite it being so random, biased, dependent on whether the refs are in a pissy mood, matchups, draws, nuns, the favors being handed out by the selection committee, and luck.

But there will be an SECT in Nashville in 3 weeks. So this thread is about that tournament.

Correct.......that's why I referenced the tournament several times in my post.

If it was up to me I wouldn't even take part.
I definitely wouldn't play Felix.
He needs all the rest he can get to heal that ankle up. You can tell the last couple of games it's been really bothering him.
Our bench is short too, like you said. I don't want to be on tired legs when the one for all the marbles starts

Worst case scenario for me might be losing in the finals on Sunday. Winning Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and not playing far away and/or on Thursday in the NCAAT wouldn’t be horrible.

But since there will be a tournament, why not just kick some ass? Hopefully no overtime or close games.
