Tennessee more than likely had to win on Saturday to hold on to a double bye in the SEC Tournament next week, and they couldn’t get that done. The Volunteers fell to Auburn on the road, while Missouri took care of business against Ole Miss.
That half-court buzzer beater from a few weeks back paid dividends for the Tigers, as they now get to avoid a Thursday matchup in Nashville next week. Instead, it will be Tennessee getting the winner of Ole Miss-South Carolina.
Tennessee will be heavily favored in that matchup, regardless of who wins it.
