The final week of the SEC Basketball regular season is upon us, and there is still a lot to be decided.

SEC STANDINGS (as of 3/1/17)

TEAM CONF GB OVR
#9 Kentucky 15-2 25-5
#12 Florida 13-3 1.5 23-6
South Carolina 12-5 3 22-8
Arkansas 11-5 3.5 22-7
Ole Miss 9-7 5.5 18-11
Alabama 9-7 5.5 16-12
Vanderbilt 9-8 6 16-14
Georgia 8-8 6.5 17-12
Texas A&M 8-9 7 16-13
Tennessee 7-9 7.5 15-14
Auburn 6-10 8.5 17-12
Mississippi State 5-12 10 14-15
Missouri 2-15 13 7-22
LSU 1-15 13.5 9-19

The top four seeds in the conference have all been clinched, with the only exception being that Arkansas can still jump South Carolina for the no. 3 seed. The Razorbacks own the tiebreaker after their 83-76 win over the Gamecocks on Feb. 15.

Kentucky wrapped up the top seed in next week’s SEC tournament with their 76-66 win over the Gators on Saturday.

Florida is likely the no. 2 seed going into the SEC tournament, but they still have a couple of challenges against Arkansas and Vanderbilt remaining on their schedule.

But the 5 through 10 seeds is where things get really crazy. Those spots are completely up for grabs. These six teams are separated by just 2 games, and Wednesday night will go a long way in clearing up the picture.

Two of those teams, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, played on Tuesday night, and each saw different results.

Texas A&M cruised to a 60-43 victory over Missouri last night to move to 8-9 in SEC play.

Meanwhile Vanderbilt fell short in their upset bid of Kentucky. The Commodores led for most of the game and held a 1-point lead with four minutes remaining. The Wildcats prevailed and won 73-67.

The other four of the six teams are in action on Wednesday night.
