SEC Tournament Double Bye & Possible 3-Seed - Kentucky's Path

[KA4Prez]

Here is the path. It's this simple. Kentucky wins the tiebreaker over Texas A&M, Tennessee and Missouri (with a head-to-head win). Kentucky would win a tiebreaker if they have the same league record as Florida.

March 1st

Kentucky over Auburn
Texas A&M over Florida
Vanderbilt over Missouri
Alabama over Tennessee

March 4/5th

Kentucky over LSU
Mississippi over Tennessee
Auburn over Texas A&M
Oklahoma over Missouri
Alabama over Florida

March 8th

Kentucky over Missouri (A&M gets LSU and Tennessee gets South Carolina, but Kentucky wins the tiebreaker)
Mississippi over Florida

This would also mean Tennessee is the 6-seed and Arkansas is the 11-seed. That would be quite a quarterfinal game for UK!

Our path was beat Vandy and beat Texas that path has closed now

Mathematically possible but very unlikely. But it'd be huge if all the pieces could fall into place.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Yeah, irrelevant to even consider until if and when we beat Auburn IMO.

This. If we win today, we’re locked into playing Thursday for sure. A double bye would require a lot of help.

And the only one of those things we can control is winning our last 3. That's probably more likely than the other things happening. And it's a tall task on it's own.

If Kentucky goes 3-0, they are at worst, the 5-seed, based on tiebreakers and remaining games. Guard your own yard.

Aee you sure about that? Is that for any win? I mean, if win any of last 3 we are locked into Thursday?

Yeah. All that ain’t happening. Vandy is probably not beating Mizzou and OK is definitely not. Ole Miss over Tenn MIGHT happen but doubtful. And they are probably not beating UF.

Don’t get your hopes up BBN. This is like 30 degrees of what if. Let’s just get a win today and worry about ourselves.

If we lose today, we’d have to beat LSU and then it’s probably a locked in. Lose out and we’re playing Wed more than likely. Right now we’re still the 8 seed I believe.

Getting a bye isn't always an advantage. It makes a team rusty when they hit the floor. We've all seen how the momentum of a couple of wins can carry a team.
