Four Way Tie in SEC EAST....again

You lose, we all lose.

Just one day after Kentucky fell one game behind Tennessee and South Carolina for 1st in the SEC Eastern division, both the Vols and Gamecocks found ways to lose.

Tennessee was dominated by Ole Miss 81-65. The Volunteers were outrebounded, outshot, and outplayed. With the loss, the game with the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena Saturday is a must win for both teams, if they are not wanting to sweat out selection Sunday in nearly a month.

The cute pick, a youthful South Carolina Gamecocks also fell Wednesday night to Mississippi State 75-70. The Gamecocks led at halftime but were outplayed in the 2nd half for a Bulldog victory.

Now, with both teams losing ahead of the Cats, there is once again a four way tie atop the SEC East with Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee all knotted up with four losses.
In the remaining weeks, each team plays each other one more time.

The margin for error for all the East teams has once again tightened and so promises to be an exciting last month of the SEC season.

SEC - East

Florida 7-4
South Carolina 7-4
Kentucky 7-4
Tennessee 7-4
Vanderbilt 5- 6
Georgia 1-10
