In the current format of the SEC Tournament, not being one of the 4 best teams in the conference puts you under pressure immediately, deciding the fate of your postseason before lunch time on Tuesday. When you're a team that needs some help, things can slip away quickly.
In the tourney's opening game, Ole Miss and Bama spent about an hour shaking off the cobwebs that come with a 9:30am start, sparring to a 2-1 Bama lead in the 6th. Unfortunatley for the Rebels, Bama woke up first. Ole Miss' Weathersby was pulled at 97 pitches after giving up a lead off single in the 7th.
