The regular season SEC Championship has been secured, but there’s no time to let up now. No. 4 Tennessee is playing for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and they need to hold serve today as they welcome No. 15 Kentucky to town.
Tennessee found a win on the road on Wednesday against South Carolina to lock up the outright conference title, which was Rick Barnes’ second during his time in Knoxville. They’ll wrap up the regular season today, looking to fend off Arizona for that final top seed in the Big Dance.
Tennessee got the better of Kentucky a few weeks back, walking into Rupp and coming away with a 103-92 win.
