A look at the SEC Tournament bracket following all the Second Round action that took place on Thursday
On Wednesday, the SEC Tournament got underway with First Round action, and of course the story of the day was Missouri’s upset of Auburn to get things started. Many wondered whether or not they could keep their momentum rolling in the Second Round and their dream run alive.
Unfortunately, that would not be the case. While it was a miraculous win over Auburn to get things started, the Tigers were not able to stay alive against Ole Miss on Thursday night, falling to the Rebels in the Second Round, 86-74.
In other Second Round action on Thursday night, Vanderbilt easily handled Texas A&M, and Avery Johnson’s Alabama squad had no problem taking care of Mississippi State. The closest outing of the day came to us from Tennessee and Georgia, with the Bulldogs coming away with the 59-57 win.

Of course, when you talk about heavy hitters and SEC basketball, you’re of course referring to the mighty Kentucky Wildcats. John Calipari and his team will get their journey started on Friday as they take on Georgia, fresh off their win over Kentucky.
Then we’ll see the Florida Gators, who had quite the season under second-year head coach Mike White. They’ll start off with the Commodores of Vanderbilt.
The quarterfinal action of the 2017 SEC Tournament will get started on Friday at 1 p.m. ET on the SEC Network, with the aforementioned Kentucky-Georgia matchup.
