In a four-person prediction panel predicting the winners of each 2021 conference tournament. ESPN’s Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello, John Gasaway and Joe Lunardi do not see the Kentucky Wildcats cutting down the nets in Nashville.
The four were split between the SEC regular-season champion Alabama Crimson Tide and second-place Arkansas Razorbacks in their predictions. Medcalf and Gasaway picked the Hogs and Borzello and Lunardi are rolling with the Tide.
This does not come as much of a surprise as with Tennessee’s recent struggles, LSU and Florida’s vulnerability and Missouri’s late-season slide, Alabama and Arkansas have separated themselves from the rest of the conference.
