A double-bye. Senior Day. SEC Tournament implications on the line. The season finale.
It’s safe to say that Sunday’s matchup between the Tennessee Volunteers (17-7, 10-7) and the Florida Gators (13-8, 9-7) was an important one.
A Tennessee win would allow the Vols to swap spots with the Gators in terms of seeding. The Gators came into the game as the No. 4 seed in the SEC, the Vols No. 5. A win would give the Vols the ever-coveted double-bye, but a loss would eliminate any shot of claiming the double-bye and would also drop the Vols down to the sixth seed.
