With the regular season over, it’s safe to say that the SEC has a clear top tier, and that tier involves Tennessee basketball. The Vols join the Kentucky Wildcats and the LSU Tigers, and they are the top three seeds in the SEC Tournament.
LSU, at 26-5 overall, won the regular season title with a 16-2 record, getting the top seed. Kentucky is also 26-5 and edged out the Vols, who are 27-4, for the No. 2 seed despite both teams having a 15-3 conference record, losing to LSU and splitting their head to head match-ups.
