SEC BRACKET FOR THE 2020 SEASON REVEALED (AND PREDICTIONS)
March 6 2020
What is up hoops fans I am Mark Nelson and welcome back to your daily dose of basketball. Today the brackets were revealed for the SEC mens bracket and it sure is an interesting one. Last year, Kentucky's 4 year streak of dominance in the SEC came to an end when they fell at the semifinals and Auburn went on to win the title. Kentucky clinched the regular season championship a while ago en route to a 25-6 record. The seeding goes as follows.
1. Kentucky
2. Auburn
3. LSU
4. Mississippi State
5. Florida
6. South Carolina
7. Texas A&M
8. Tennessee
9. Alabama
10. Missouri
11. Arkansas
12. Ole Miss
13. Georgia
14. Vanderbilt
This appears to be Kentucky's tournament to lose. The Wildcats are likely the only team from the conference that will receive a top seed for the NCAA Tournament, and they've been the best team in the SEC for most of the season.
Led by a balanced scoring attack of four players averaging double digits, I predict that Kentucky will claim the SEC Tournament crown for the fifth time in six seasons and begin what should be another strong March for the Wildcats. LSU could be a dark horse here but they need star freshman guard Pete Maravich to show up and I just don't think he has what it takes to dethrone the Wildcats. Averaging around 30 points a game he is a great draft prospect but I am not sure that he is a winner.
