Seeding Probabilities for SEC Basketball Tournament
Someone with more time and math skills than I possess sat down and figured out that the Fox Hounds have a 49.7 per cent likelihood of finishing fourth in the East, an 82.2 per cent likelihood of finishing either third or fourth in the East, and only a 15.4 per cent likelihood of finishing fifth in the East.
While a second-place finish (and an accompanying first-round bye) would be nice, there's only a 2.4 per cent chance of that happening. The important thing is to finish either third or fourth in the division, thereby earning a first-round date with one or the other of the two sets of terrible Tigers languishing at the bottom of the SEC West. The chances of that are looking pretty good.

Yep.
The Miss. State upset of Tennessee was huge. We were staring at 5th before that.
The biggest problem with 5th isn’t getting a non-Auburn/LSU team but getting Florida instead of Alabama in the 2nd round.
"The biggest problem with 5th"...
is that we haven’t finished higher than that in almost 10 years. I’d like to start climbing out of the cellar about now-ish. Win Wednesday, and we go dancing. Damn that feels good to say again. Now let’s hope can make this the regular invite it should be considering our profile, profitability, and recruiting backyard.
