Bubble watch was the name of the game Thursday at the 2017 SEC Tournament.
Vanderbilt, Georgia and (kind of) Ole Miss each traveled to Nashville in hopes of impressing the committee enough to earn an at-large bid—or make a Cinderella run and clinch it themselves. The Commodores were one of the final byes predicted by ESPN's Joe Lunardi, while Georgia was among the next four out. Ole Miss would likely need to make the championship game to get consideration.
Along with Alabama, all three were in action against lower-seeded teams Thursday.
