Vanderbilt plays Texas A&M tonight at 6:00 PM CT, but this being March, there’s plenty of basketball on this afternoon.
First, there’s the afternoon session of the SEC Tournament: Georgia plays Tennessee for the right to lose to Kentucky on Friday, followed by Alabama facing Mississippi State in the second game. Neither game is particularly interested from a bubble perspective, and Alabama-Mississippi State likely won’t be aesthetically either.
So let’s get to the games of consequence for a bubble team. Early on, at 11 AM, Michigan plays Illinois and we’d rather this Illinois thing get put to bed right now.
