The 2019 SEC tournament is officially underway after the 12th-seeded Missouri Tigers discarded the 13th-seed Georgia Bulldogs to open the tournament on Wednesday evening at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
The Tigers embarrassed the Bulldogs just last week 64-39 in their second-to-last regular-season game. The dominant win at Georgia was the lone bright spot down the stretch for Missouri, who went 3-7 to finish the regular season.
The Bulldogs' finish to the regular season was even colder, losing 10 of their last 11. The 25-point loss to Missouri on March 6 was the worst loss in that span, and they weren't able to avenge it.
