Why winning SEC Tournament does (and doesn't) matter to Tennessee basketball

More than a trophy is at stake when the Tennessee basketball team
takes the floor at the SEC Tournament in Nashville this week. A
No. 1 seed could be on the line for the Vols (24-7).


Some bracket experts are projecting Tennessee as a No. 1 seed for
the NCAA Tournament, but such outlooks are subject to
fluctuation. If the Vols bow out early in the conference
tournament, they could surrender the inside track to a top seed.
If they cut down the nets Sunday in Nashville, that likely would
cement a No. 1 seed for Tennessee.


But, to what extent does that even matter?


On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and Mike Wilson
discuss the importance (or lack thereof) of the SEC Tournament
for Tennessee.


Win the SEC Tournament, and the Vols almost certainly are on the
1-line come Selection Sunday. But, is an SEC Tournament title a
kiss of doom for March Madness? History warns of that.
