6th. Half game back of 5th.

2017 SEC Men's Basketball Standings

Looks like 4th record-wise

 

[golfballs]

Georgia lost.. doesn't this put Vols 4th place in SEC?

Wish we hadn't imploded against Arkansas, we be on track for a #4 seed. Going to need Arky to lose

Idk what you're looking at, I see 6th too?

 

[golfballs]

I don't mean to complain at all. Thrilled were even here

Not tiebreakers or anything simply conference record

 

[appyvol]

Pure speculation here, but any chance we get the double bye as 4 seed? And would a win as 5 or 6 be better than a double bye and loss?

We have 4 losses, that puts us 6th

And Ole Miss, that was inexcusable. Tis the nature of a youthful team sometimes though.

Not tiebreakers or anything simply conference record

1. Kentucky 8-1
2. South Carolina 7-1
3. Florida 6-2
3. Alabama 6-2
5. Arkansas 5-3
6. Tennessee 5-4

What are you looking at?

We could get a 4 seed, UK/UF/SC have the top 3 locked up in some order I would say...looks like Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee will all battle for 4-6 seeds.

The 6th seed would be nice as it's likely on the opposite side as UK, but that may not be best for our NCAAT chances. If Vols get a 4 seed and double bye I'm thinking they probably are a lock for the NCAAT.

Would be icing. Tonight was big

Hope Barnes keeps these kids focused. I can slip away in just a couple games

 

[therealitytheory]

Fans better show up. Saturday at home,no excuses

How 'bout the excuse that we're away at Miss State?

 

[DC_Vol]

At the beginning of the season, I didn't believe we even had a shot at being in the tournament discussion. This team has been a pleasant surprise.

Amen. If you call yourself a Tennessee fan get your ass there

Feb 11 home vs Georgia. Not Saturday. Follow the thread.

I will in fact be there Feb 11. I live 3 hours away and make all football home games, some road games, and quite a few b-ball games. I'm not the one to be called out.

It'll be repeating on a loop all night. But he didn't say much other than telling OJ to watch it or he'll block him.

Gotta love that. Some of Basilio callers are crazy. Sometimes legions of the miserable.
