Wow, there are some good college basketball games to watch today. Get some portable food, settle in, and bookmark this page as it contains the magical schedule and official RTT Saturday open thread. Hooper will have a separate thread devoted to the SEC Women's Tournament game between our very own Lady Vols and the Georgia Bulldogs at 2:30 (game tips at 4:00) (all times Eastern).

The SEC men's basketball tournament is held next Thursday to Sunday. To get an SEC East two-seed, which would give them a first-round bye, Tennessee needs three things to happen: (1) Tennessee needs to beat Kentucky at Thompson-Boling tomorrow at noon, (2) Alabama needs to beat Georgia at home today at 1:30, and (3) Florida needs to beat Vanderbilt on the road today at 6:00. That would put Tennessee, Georgia, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky all at 9-7 in conference play and would give Tennessee the tiebreaker. So, you know, it's a big weekend because the Vols could wake up Monday morning and be 2nd in the East. They could also be 5th.
