"Tennessee Basketball Clinches SEC Title and No. 1 Seed After Victory Over South Carolina"
Following Tennessee basketball's win over South Carolina, ESPN moved them up to a one-seed, with their improved resume putting them in contention for the final one-seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Vols' victory avenged their lone home loss and clinched the SEC Regular Season Championship for the first time since 2008. With a better stretch of schedule, conference win, and fewer losses against lower-ranked opponents than Arizona, Tennessee is in a strong position to secure the final one-seed, with their upcoming game against Kentucky likely to solidify their position.
