12. Georgia Bulldogs

Previous Ranking: 11

A team that has struggled in recent weeks, Georgia drops a spot this week to No. 12 now sitting at 16-15 overall, as well as 6-12 in SEC play. The Bulldogs dropped both contests this past week to conclude the regular season, beginning with a 77-67 home loss to Florida on Tuesday, followed by a 61-55 loss on the road at South Carolina on Saturday.

Georgia, who is currently on a five-game losing streak, is now the No. 11 seed in this week’s SEC Tournament, and will face No. 14 seed LSU on Wednesday night.

11. South Carolina Gamecocks

Previous Ranking: 12

The first team to rise this week is South Carolina up a spot to No. 11, as the Gamecocks concluded the regular season at 11-20 overall, as well as 4-14 in SEC play. The Gamecocks originally began the week with a 74-68 road loss at Mississippi State on Tuesday night, but would snap what was a three-game losing streak Saturday at home with the aforementioned 61-55 win over Georgia.

South Carolina is now the No. 12 overall seed in this week’s SEC Tournament, and will face Ole Miss on Wednesday night in Nashville.
