Following Tennessee’s overtime loss at LSU over the weekend, the SEC now has a three-way tie at the top of the league standings and with the NCAA Tournament just around the corner, it appears the league has three teams capable of threatening a Final Four run.
ESPN’s latest bracketology projections appear to share that belief as Kentucky has been elevated to a No. 1 seed, LSU has jumped up to a No. 4 seed while Tennessee has fallen but remains a No. 2 seed.
In addition to the teams at the top of the SEC standings, Florida now appears to be firmly in the field while Alabama has made a jump back in and South Carolina is looming just outside the tournament field.
