SEC tournament is irrelevant. We need to beat the Commode on Saturday... that's what matters.

May be good to play Thursday now with ament back and play a bottom feeder before he’s thrown back into the fire against good teams
 
Well, hopefully UK can pull the upset and beat Florida and knock us down to the 6 seed. If fully healthy, I think that we can beat anyone in the SEC this season except for Florida who would be on the other side of the bracket in that scenario.
 
5th or 6th seed depending on the KY v FL game.

1. Florida (15-2)(Ls: Missouri, Barn)

2. Alabama (12-5)(Ls: VU, TX, TN, FL, UGa)
2. Arkansas (13-5)(Ls: Barn, UGa, KY, Bama, FL

I’m more concerned about the 6 seed in the big dance. 6 vs 11 suck
We could lose first SEC tourney game and won’t matter too much for us. We could win the SEC tourney and move 1 higher seed but that’s only if we beat FL in conference champ game. Any other team is already close to our predicted seed line. It wouldn’t move the needle if won.
The conference tournaments dictate more for bubble teams whether they get in or out.
So let’s say TN is projected as a 5 seed in the big dance and ends up playing Auburn. If Auburn beats us they could possibly get in.

6 see may not be that bad actually lol. You avoid matchup with number 1
In sweet 16… but first thing first got win the first game . Going be some good 11
Seed teams hungry .
 
I mean in sec tourney with our seed
Locked in as a 5-8 seed in SEC. But it might not even be worth watching unless we somehow make the SEC champ game, play against FL and cheer for a potential ring. That double bye was super important for us because now we are toggling between a 5/6 line. We were already solid on the 5 line, but we can easily get booted down because we aren’t getting that double bye.
 
So it appears the Vols will face the winner of Oklahoma-Ms State on Thursday and if they win would then be playing Vandy at 3 PM Friday.
And then would likely face Florida in the semis.
