The slate is set!
Auburn beat the Vawls at home, with UT suddenly down their star point guard. Meanwhile, UK suffered some injuries, but bullied the Hogs. Florida without Castleton handled the rest. And that means now the schedule is set for the SEC Tournament.
Below is a printable bracket for you beautiful people.
We’ll break these down in Points in the Paint early next week, and have some more hoops miscellany for you. But, as you would wish, Alabama got a very favorable draw — No Auburn, Kentucky, or Arkansas until the Finals, and no UT until the semifinals. And whomever ‘Bama draws out of UF/MSU is a team that they have beaten already this season (3-0), with Mizzou (1-0) hanging out at the bottom of the bracket — who Alabama has also beaten, or the winner of Ole Miss / USC — who the Tide swept (3-0)
In fact, on ‘Bama’s side of the ledger here, the Tide went 7-1.
Sure, they also went 9-1 against the other half, but I think most people will concede that Aggie, Barn, Arkansas, Kentucky, and a red hot Vandy is a much tougher bracket. Whoever comes out of that bloodbath will have gone through some wars.
