If we beat GA and face either UT or OM, we're playing for our spot in the tourney. Lose to GA and it doesn't matter. Lose to UT or OM and the winner most likely goes in our spot. We need at least 2 wins to be secure.

Nothing like Rick Stansbury lead teams. No matter how good they should be, it usually comes down to our SEC tourney performance if we make the big dance or not.
