UK locks up 2 seed in SEC Tourney ...

  • With UK's win over Florida today, the 'Cats have locked up the 2 seed in the SEC Tournament.

    Ole Miss also won today, bringing them into a 2nd-place tie with UK ... and Missouri and Alabama have yet to finish play today. However, UK holds all the tie-breakers in every possible scenario to get the #2 seed next week.

    Tie scenarios:

    ** Two-way Tie **
    2 Kentucky 12-6
    3 Ole Miss 12-6

    Kentucky holds tie-breaker with head-to-head win over Ole Miss.

    ** Three-way Ties **

    2 Kentucky 12-6
    3 Missouri 12-6
    4 Ole Miss 12-6

    Kentucky holds tie-breaker with combined 2-0 record against Missouri and Ole Miss.

    2 Kentucky 12-6
    3 Ole Miss 12-6
    4 Alabama 12-6

    Kentucky holds tie-breaker by virtue of 1-1 record against Florida. All 3 teams would be 1-1 against each other, but both Ole Miss and Alabama were 0-1 against Florida.

    ** Four-way Tie **

    2 Kentucky 12-6
    3 Missouri 12-6
    4 Ole Miss 12-6
    5 Alabama 12-6

    Kentucky holds the tie-breaker with a combined 2-1 record among the tied teams. Alabama is 1-2 among the tied teams, while Missouri gets the #3 seed by virtue of its 1-1 record against Florida.

    Thanks for this analysis. I just finished looking at the scenarios as well, and came to the same conclusions. UK #2, Fla #1

    Are there any other seeds locked in yet?

  • I don't think any others are visibly 'locked in' yet. But I haven't run down through the tie-breaker scenarios for the other teams. I'll keep a watch on things today and keep things posted as they become clearer.

  • That should lock in the NCAA bid. With ole miss, mizzou, fl, and tenn being the contenders for bids, we are 4-2 against those top tier sec teams. We have 21 wins, and finished second in conference. Lets win the sec tourney just to make sure though lol. Go cats!

    When I started typing my original post ... there wasn't one. Can't help it, but I must be a slow typist.

    Tennessee beats Missouri

    1 Florida
    2 Kentucky
    3 Ole Miss
    4 Tennessee
    5 Missouri
    6 Alabama
    7 Arkansas

    ** Scenario #2 **
    Georgia beats Alabama
    Missouri beats Tennessee

    1 Florida
    2 Kentucky
    3 Missouri
    4 Ole Miss
    5 Alabama
    6 Arkansas
    7 Tennessee

    ** Scenario #3 **
    Alabama beats Georgia
    Tennessee beats Missouri

    1 Florida
    2 Kentucky
    3 Ole Miss
    4 Alabama
    5 Tennessee
    6 Missouri
    7 Arkansas

    ** Scenario #4 **
    Alabama beats Georgia
    Missouri beats Tennessee

    1 Florida
    2 Kentucky
    3 Missouri
    4 Ole Miss
    5 Alabama
    6 Arkansas
    7 Tennessee

    NOTE: With the #2 seed, the seeds in UK's half of the bracket are 2 - 3 - 6 - 7 - 10. Vandy is locked in at the #10 seed.

  • I like our draw. If we can get past arky we matchup well with ole miss

  • I think Alabama is going to be the three, right?

    The first tiebreakers in a three-way tie is head to head, of which UK, ALA, MISS are all 1-1; the second in against No. 1 seed Florida, which UK wins by virtue of being only one to beat them; The third tiebreaker is win percentage over No. 2 seed, whcih would be Kentucky. Alabama beat UK, Ole Miss didn't.

  • Nevermind, the SEC doesn't really make it clear in their 3-team tiebreaker rules that once it's down to two-way tie they go back to head-to-head. Ole Miss is the #3.

    Yeah ... I think you got it here. Once the three-way tie is broken, it goes back to head-to-head among the remaining two teams.

    Matt, my reading is that once one of the three teams in a three way tie has been seeded, the tests them go to a 2 team comparison, starting back at the head to head level, putting Ole Miss ahead of Alabama.
