Here’s the 2019 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament schedule
With Saturday dropping the curtain on the regular season, the schedule for this week’s SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament in Nashville is set.
Without its indefinitely suspended head coach Will Wade, LSU still easily rolled over Vanderbilt 80-59 to clinch the tournament’s No. 1 seed. With Tennessee’s 84-80 loss at Auburn, LSU is the conference’s regular-season champ. The Tigers finished 16-2. Tennessee and Kentucky tied for second at 15-3.
Kentucky’s 66-57 win over Florida clinched the No. 2 seed for the Cats. Though UK and Tennessee split their two regular-season games, the Cats won the tiebreaker. Both teams lost to each other and to LSU. Tennessee also lost to Auburn, while UK also lost to Alabama. And Auburn (11-7) finished ahead of Alabama (8-10) in the standings, so UK earned the higher seed.
