It has been a great SEC Tournament, but it’s not clear how much more of it there’ll be. Wednesday brought 2 games, absolutely superb games, but 1 of them was supposed to be played on Tuesday, and exactly 1 of the 4 scheduled Wednesday games has taken place. With word of worsening weather, it’s game to wonder what exactly the SEC is going to do about all this. Can they change the Tournament to single-elimination? Is that horribly unfair to an Arkansas team that lost what was supposed to be a double-elimination game that might not end up being one? Before we go too far down this path, let’s review Wednesday’s action.

In the opener, Kentucky held a 1-0 lead on a great start from Sean Harney until he bashed his head into the dugout roof while celebrating a Wildcat base hit. Seven innings of 4-hit shutout ball went down the drain when UK pitched to Sonny DiChiara, allowing him to hit a drive that might still be traveling somewhere in the wilds of Alabama. But with momentum going against them, UK bounced back with a pair of 9th-inning solo blasts and won 3-1. MVP of this one: Harney, who got UK 6 outs from victory by pure strength of will. Hope his head’s OK.

Alabama then followed an upset win over Georgia by taking the same playbook to Arkansas, suddenly without head coach Dave Van Horn. Bama jumped to a 2-o lead in the 2nd inning on an Arkansas error, moved that advantage to 4-1 in the 4th and then held on for dear life for a 4-3 win. MVP: Reliever Antoine Jean, who pitched a pair of strong innings, striking out 3, leaving only when Arkansas was down to their last out.

Now, the slate for Thursday currently includes 4 games, but based on the events of Tuesday and Wednesday and the weather forecast, it’s fair to wonder how many of those games will actually be played. Nonetheless, here’s the (intended) slate:

No. 7 Florida vs. No. 2 Texas A&M

Again, the Gators and Aggies haven’t played this season. If you’re looking for a key to this game, consider that the team that scores first is 5-0 in Hoover. It’ll be interesting to see if the Gators are able to muscle the ball some — until the last couple innings of Kentucky vs. Auburn, nobody was doing much damage with the longball. But A&M has an offense better suited to scratching out runs, so it might come down to whether Florida can find the power stroke.

No. 8 Vanderbilt vs. No. 1 Tennessee

In the preseason, if you’d said these teams would meet in the quarterfinals in Hoover and be seed No. 8 and No. 1, the assumption would have been that the seeds would be the opposite of what they actually are now. Tennessee is expected to throw Blake Tidwell, and it’ll be interesting to see how much Tony Vitello wants to stretch him out. Tidwell has looked good, but UT has been extremely judicious in managing his post-injury workload. Vanderbilt basically needs another pitching masterpiece, to mirror the one from Carter Holton on Tuesday. Without that, it’s probably pretty one-sided here.

No. 4 LSU vs. No. 12 Kentucky

Kentucky’s strong late season play continues, but LSU is a daunting task for a Kentucky pitching staff that has tied success to keeping opponents in the ballpark. Kentucky hasn’t played LSU yet this season. The best news for the Wildcats is that they’re 7-4 in their past 11 games against SEC foes. That said, this LSU team just put up 42 runs in 3 games against Vandy. The strong record of teams scoring first in this tournament was noted above, but it might be even more pivotal for Kentucky. The Wildcats have to play from ahead to have a shot.

No. 3 Arkansas vs. loser of Florida and Texas A&M

It’s hard to project a game without knowing one of the teams involved, particularly in a game as competitive as UF and A&M will likely be. In any case, it’s hard to imagine the Razorbacks having another sloppy game, and as long as they eclipse the 5 hits they totaled on Wednesday, they’re the pick here.

Projected winners: Florida, Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas.

More important projection: 1 game gets played on Thursday, and the Tournament has to shift to single-elimination.
