SEC Tournament Race: Gators Secure Top Seed, Chaos Ensues

0:00On March 1, Florida has locked up the number one seed in the Southeastern Conference Tournament. The Gators sit at 14 wins and two losses, with no one close enough to catch them heading into the final week. Everywhere else is Total Chaos, as 18's battle for seeds 2-10, separated by just a few games. Alabama leaves the pack for second place with 12 wins and 4 losses, holding tiebreakers over challengers like Arkansas. Missouri currently sits fourth thanks to head-to-head wins over Kentucky and Tennessee, while those three teams are all tied at 10-6. Tiebreakers will decide everything, since no other spots are secure yet. Fans are glued to every matchup, knowing double buys are on the line for the top four seeds. Kentucky's recent big win over Vanderbilt keeps them in the mix, with that early home loss to Missouri hurts their tiebreaker chances. The Wildcats have a 25% shot at fourth place, neck and neck with Tennessee. Projection shows slight separation, with Alabama likely holding second in Missouri edging out for fourth in some scenarios.

1:03Kentucky trends towards starting Thursday, but they could land anywhere from third to tenth. A win Tuesday at Texas A&M locks in a solid spot for them. This week's slate kicks off Tuesday, with seven games, including Kentucky at Texas A&M and Missouri at Oklahoma. Winds there could shake up the board big time, setting the stage for a wild tournament in Nashville next week.
