Good morning.

247 Sports has a game-by-game prediction of this week’s SEC Tournament, which opens tomorrow in Hoover, Alabama, commonly referred to as “Hooverville” in these parts. Where Vanderbilt is concerned, the prediction is for the Commodores to drop their opening game on Wednesday night (to Ole Miss) before rallying back to make the semifinals from the loser’s bracket, where they lose to Arkansas.
I can’t say I really disagree with this assessment. If Vanderbilt isn’t going to start Kumar Rocker or Jack Leiter in the opener on Wednesday, it’s going to be difficult for them to beat Ole Miss — but then it could happen.
