2020 SEC Tournament

[Thunder Good-Oil]

It's looking like it will begin on Wednesday for TN. If I could pick an opponent I'd go with the Fighting Cuonzos.

1) Kentucky 13-2 (Aub, TN, @FL)
2) Auburn 11-4 (@KY, TxAM, @TN)
3) LSU 10-5 (TxAM, @Ark, GA)
3) Florida 10-5 (@TN, @GA, KY)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5) Mississippi State 9-6 (at Mizz, at USC, Miss)
5) South Carolina 9-6 (at Bama, MSU, at Vandy)
7) Texas A&M 8-7 (at LSU, at Aub, Ark)
8) Alabama 7-8 (USC, Vandy, at Mizz)
8) Tennessee 7-8 (FL, @KY, Aub)
10) Arkansas 6-9 (at GA, LSU, at TxAM)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
11) Missouri 6-9 (MSU, at Miss, Bama)
12) Georgia 4-11 (Ark, FL, at LSU)
12) Ole Miss 4-11 (Vandy, Mizz, at MSU)
14) Vanderbilt 1-14 (@Miss, at Bama, USC)

Ole Miss and Vandy are about the only teams playing equal or worse to us right now. If I had to choose, I suppose it’d be one of them.

Looks like vandy is our most likely opponent, assuming we slip to the 11.

#11 may not be a bad seed. The opponents would be #14, #6, and #3. Wouldn't see KY until Sunday.

#8/#9 would have Kentucky on Friday.

#10 has bye, #7, #2.

 

[Special Ed]

Whatever the seeding, I'm sure the tournament officiating will be first rate.

Indeed an insightful observation. Ah yes...the best is yet to come from "SEC zebra zoo". Ya think the Blue Misters might get preferential treatment?

 

[Warriorvol]

The only first day opponent I would rather not see is Georgia. I think we handle the others, but Georgia gives us fits athleticly.

They ALL give us fits one way or the other AND for the most part, win or lose, we give most of them fits too!!

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Tennessee is going to win the SEC tournament! You heard it here first!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Really need the 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, or 13 seed. The 8 and 9 seeds are bad.

TN might have wrapped up an opening day bye. They have the tie breaker with Missouri. If there's a 3-way tie with Ark and Mizz though, I'm not sure.

Need to stay off of 8/9 and avoid Kentucky on Friday.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Really need the 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, or 13 seed. The 8 and 9 seeds are bad (Winner of 8/9 faces Kentucky on Friday)

Now 6, 7, 10, or 11. Can't fall to 12 or 13. If TN ends up in the Wednesday round (as the 11, which is a long shot... Missouri and Arkansas must win out and TN loses to KY and Auburn... even then it's a 3-way tie and TN probably doesn't finish behind both with the tie breaker) they'll play Vandy.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I believe that the 3-way tie breaker if Ark/TN/Mizz are tied for 9, 10, 11 is head-to-head.

TN 2-1
Ark 2-2
Mizz 1-2

I think that TN is guaranteed a Wednesday bye. TN is looking at #4 through #10 seed (without examining every scenario with ties... #4 might not be possible).

EDIT: actually Bama and/or TXAM could also factor into 5 teams tied at 8-10... SO TN MIGHT NOT HAVE a Wednesday bye locked up.

 

[Warriorvol]

I'm all in.going for broke! I think we do good in tournament, if we don't tire out.

Looking like 8/9 and a possible TN v KY rematch is very much in play. Getting to #7 would be outstanding.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

SC and MSST close with really easy games unfortunately, so looks like 7th is about best case...a loss Saturday and we are likely 8/9.

 

[vols 30]

Still can't believe Vandy won at Bama. LoL

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Still can't believe Vandy won at Bama. LoL

No way Bama makes the NCAA Tournament now

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

No way Bama makes the NCAA Tournament now

Alabama men's team NIT Tournament and Alabama women's team NCAA Tournament.

 

[JCP201]

With all healthy and games together under their belt, looks like the starting five are finally starting to mesh. (knock on wood)

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Still can't believe Vandy won at Bama. LoL

They didn’t have Petty, still not an excuse but a little more understandable.

 

[Yeiser10]

So we win Saturday we are 7, or A&M loses both and we are 7. Just win baby!

 

[appyvol]

I think we can get as high as 6 if Florida loses to UGA and UK and we beat Auburn.

I think we can get as high as 6 if Florida loses to UGA and UK and we beat Auburn.

We can get as high as 5 if USC loses too
