We’re only a few days away from March, and that means that the NCAA Tournament is just around the corner as the league tries to match its record eight bids from a season ago.
There are three games on Wednesday’s schedule, with one of the regular season title contenders looking to get back on track.
Let’s get to the picks.
Season Predictions Record (straight up): 204-68
No. 7 Tennessee at Ole Miss – 7 p.m. EST, SEC Network
The Vols have hit a rough stretch in losing two straight road games, but they haven’t exactly been all that surprising considering that the opponents were two top 15 teams.
While the Rebels have been playing well recently, this just feels like a spot where Tennessee could be refocused and ready for the challenge in what should be a great game.
Prediction: Tennessee 75, Ole Miss 70
Florida at Vanderbilt – 9 p.m. EST, SEC Network
With four games left in the regular season, this is undoubtedly one of Vanderbilt’s best chances at picking up a victory considering that it kept things close in the previous meeting in Gainesville.
Florida has won four in a row and is clearly playing as consistent as it has all season, but I’m leaning towards the Commodores finally getting their first SEC win.
Prediction: Vanderbilt 64, Florida 63
Auburn at Georgia – 9 p.m. EST, ESPNU
Auburn had a disappointing performance at Kentucky, and now they must hit the road once again to take on a Georgia team that has lost back-to-back games by a single point.
Jared Harper and company are far from a tournament lock at this point, so they should understand the importance of this one and find a way to pick up the victory.
Prediction: Auburn 78, Georgia 73
