All Times EASTERN

What a disappointment for Auburn's team to fall all the way down to the West's 6th seed when it looked like they had a chance to be the 4 seed a couple of weeks ago, which would have allowed them to play the East's 5 seed (South Carolina). Did the team hit a wall due to all the injuries or was the team satisfied after beating Alabama at home? We think the former, the team's shooting has been awful during the 4-game losing streak and when you rely on your perimeter play to win, you won't win if you shoot like that. Now the Tigers have to face NCAA tourneybound Vanderbilt in the first round who will be looking to solidify seeding and getting their team prepared for another late run in March.

WRAS is going with the chalk and the Vols to win the tournament over Mississippi State and solidify a number one seed in the NCAA tournament.
