3/8- (13) LSU (10-19; 2-16) vs (12) Mississippi State (15-15; 6-12)- 7:00, SECN
Prediction: Mississippi State

3/8- (14) Missouri (7-23; 2-16) vs (11) Auburn (18-13; 7-11)- 9:00, SECN
Prediction: Auburn

Second Round
3/9- (9) Tennessee (16-15; 8-10) vs (8) Georgia (18-13; 9-9)- 1:00, SECN
Prediction: Georgia

3/9- (12) Mississippi State vs (5) Alabama (17-13; 10-8)- 3:30, SECN
Prediction: Alabama

3/9- (10) Texas A&M (16-14; 8-10) vs (7) Vanderbilt (17-14; 10-8)- 7:00, SECN
Prediction: Vanderbilt

3/9- (11) Auburn vs (6) Ole Miss (19-12; 10-8)- 9:30, SECN
Prediction: Ole Miss

Quarterfinals
3/10- (8) Georgia vs (1) Kentucky (26-5; 16-2)- 1:00, SECN
Prediction: Kentucky

3/10- (5) Alabama vs (4) South Carolina (22-9; 12-6)- 3:30, SECN: The Tide will hang around, but Sindarius Thornwell will lead the way for the Gamecocks.
Prediction: South Carolina

3/10- (7) Vanderbilt vs (2) Florida (24-7; 14-4)- 7:00, SECN: The Commodores won both meetings in the regular season. I'll take them here again since the tournament is in Nashville.
Prediction: Vanderbilt

3/10- (6) Ole Miss vs (3) Arkansas (23-8; 12-6)- 9:30, SECN: The Razorbacks need this one to ensure themselves a bid in the Big Dance.
Prediction: Arkansas

Semifinals
3/11- (4) South Carolina vs (1) Kentucky- 1:00, ESPN: This should be an entertaining game. Thornwell will give the Gamecocks a chance, but the talented backcourt of Malik Monk and DeAaron Fox will lift the Wildcats to the championship game.
Prediction: Kentucky

3/11- (7) Vanderbilt vs (3) Arkansas- 3:30, ESPN: The Commodores will definitely be in if they win this game as well and I believe they will. The Razorbacks should be safe in the field even with a loss here.
Prediction: Vanderbilt

Championship
3/12- (7) Vanderbilt vs (1) Kentucky- 1:00, ESPN: This should be a fun championship game. Don't forget the Commondors were up double digits in Rupp Arena a few weeks ago, so expect a close game here with the Cats getting the win and perhaps a 2-seed in the Big Dance.
Prediction: Kentucky
