Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has to be a little surprised to see Texas A&M on the schedule Friday in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals.
After all, the Aggies (9-19, 2-14 SEC) were the 13-seed headed into the conference tournament after first year coach Joni Taylor took over for the legendary Gary Blair. But Taylor’s years of experience at Georgia has shown thus far with back to back upsets over 12-seed Vanderbilt and then 5-seed Mississippi State the last two days.
Ole Miss (22-7, 11-5 SEC) has been patiently waiting, meanwhile, and enjoying a double bye due to a thrilling 57-55 win over Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Sunday that secured the four seed.
