You have to hand it to the Southeastern Conference when it comes to scheduling for men’s basketball, especially as it pertains to Saturday’s games to wrap up the league’s regular season.
With Vanderbilt traveling to Texas A&M and LSU visiting Kentucky, you have four of the current top five teams in the standings – the fifth being South Carolina – facing each other.
Moreover, both A&M and UK will be attempting to avenge double-figure losses earlier in the season to the Commodores and Tigers.
And should LSU, Vanderbilt and South Carolina (which visits Arkansas on Saturday) all win out, you’d have a five-way tie at the top of the league that might take Bill Gates to resolve.
And if everyone ties with six league losses, the Gamecocks will prevail by having a 3-1 record against the rest of the top five, which would be the best percentage of the bunch.
