Tennessee’s rally for a 60-51 win over host Vanderbilt tonight is just what the doctored ordered for Kentucky.
If UK can win Wednesday night at Arkansas, the Cats will tie Vanderbilt for second place in the SEC East at 8-5.
Then if Georgia can upset Florida in Gainesville on Thursday, the Bulldogs would join the Cats and Commdores in a three-way tie for second at 8-5.
Meanwhile, Tennessee improved to 7-6 in the league by sweeping the Commodores. Bruce Pearl’s up-and-down team may not be dead yet.
The first two teams in each division get a first-round bye in the SEC Tournament, March 10-13 in Atlanta.
if florida looses 3 out of 4..and kentucky wins all of its games..there will be tie atop..? who wins the tie-breaker..?
If Florida’s three losses are all to East teams, then Kentucky would win on basis that Kentucky had three losses in division while Florida had four.
If one of those three Florida losses is to Alabama, then the two teams would have five conference losses and three inside the division. Then it would go to how they did against the third-place team, I believe. The fourth, and on down the line.
