Anyone know what it is? How tiebreaker works?

It might matter in future years, but UK isn't losing at home. For debate sake...it's the winning percentage against the tied teams. For a 5-way tie, Kentucky would lose to LSU, Texas A&M would lose to Vanderbilt and South Carolina would beat Georgia and Arkansas. The winning percentages would be as follows...based on records against all the teams in the group.


1. South Carolina (3-1, .750) - Kentucky (loss), Texas A&M (win), LSU (win), Vanderbilt (win)
2. LSU (4-2, .666) - Kentucky (2 wins), Texas A&M (win/loss), Vanderbilt (win), South Carolina (loss)
3. Vanderbilt (3-3, .500) - Kentucky (win/loss), Texas A&M (2 wins), LSU (loss), South Carolina (loss)
***4. Texas A&M (2-4, .333) - LSU (win/loss), South Carolina (loss), Vanderbilt (2 losses), Kentucky (win)
***5. Kentucky (2-4, .333) - LSU (2 losses), Texas A&M (loss), Vanderbilt (win/loss), South Carolina (win)


***A&M head to head victory gets the 4-seed.

About a -5% chance of playing on Thursday...yes.

The odds of UK losing at home to LSU, South Carolina going 2-0 and Vanderbilt winning at Texas A&M is probably extremely, extremely low. All of that has to happen for this scenario to play out.

Otherwise, UK is locked into a double bye.
