Thursday Headlines: Projected SEC Tournament Seed for Kentucky Basketball
The SEC has been the best conference in college basketball this year.
As it stands, nine teams from the SEC are ranked in the top 25.
As we enter the home stretch of the season, teams are jockeying for position in the SEC standings with the SEC Tournament getting underway in Nashville in five weeks.
Kentucky sits at 4-5 in SEC play, tied with Vanderbilt and Mississippi State, which is tied for 8th in the conference. With the new format for the SEC Tournament with the additions of Oklahoma and Texas, finishing in the top 8 is key to avoid playing on Wednesday.
Here is a look at the SEC standings as of today:
- Auburn 9-0
- Alabama 8-1
- Florida 6-3
- Missouri 6-3
- Texas A&M 6-3
- Tennessee 6-4
- Ole Miss 6-4
- Mississippi St 4-5
- Vanderbilt 4-5
- Kentucky 4-5
- Georgia 4-6
- Texas 4-6
- Oklahoma 3-6
- Arkansas 3-6
- LSU 1-8
- South Carolina 0-9
What seed do you think Kentucky finishes with for the SEC Tournament?
Tweet of the Day
If Kentucky beats South Carolina on Saturday they will have the same exact record as the 2023-24 team through 23 games with more Quad-1 wins.
That team had TWO Top 10 NBA picks and four players currently playing in the NBA.
