The SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament got underway yesterday, with Mississippi St crushing LSU in what most assume was Johnny Jones’ last game as the Tigers head coach. While the night cap saw Missouri give another game to departing head coach Kim Anderson by topping Auburn in overtime.
Today’s action kicks off at 1 this afternoon in Nashville when Georgia and Tennessee square off for the second time this season. The Dawgs squeaked past the Vols in Knoxville a month ago in a game that saw Yante Maten play sparingly with foul trouble. With Maten likely available now that he’s been cleared from a knee sprain but far from ready to go all out for 30+ minutes, that experience will be helpful.
