Tennessee Basketball in the SEC Tournament: Vols Must Win a Game This Week to Avoid Wednesday

There's still work to do in the final week of the regular season to avoid an extra game in Nashville.

College basketball's wild 2016 ride continues as we enter the final week of the regular season. Casting our eyes toward Nashville, there is little settled in SEC Tournament seeding thanks to no team being able to break away at the top and only ineligible Missouri doing so at the bottom. Kentucky and Texas A&M are tied at 11-5, with LSU, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt all at 10-6. And if you think it's just a parity-driven year in the SEC, think again: only three major conference teams have less than four losses in conference play (Indiana, Kansas, and Villanova).
