Another day, another improbable win by No. 15 seed Ole Miss. That’s been the main storyline of the SEC Tournament qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqNashville this week. The Rebels pulled off yet another upset on Friday, this time over No. 2 seed Alabama, to become the second SEC team to win three games to reach the semifinals.

The 80-79 win over Alabama marked Ole Miss’ third win and three days after winning just four games against SEC competition during the regular season. Ole Miss doesn’t have a case for an at-large bid, but two more wins and the Rebels are in the Big Dance.

No. 1 seed Florida began the day with a 71-63 win over No. 9 seed Kentucky, which was followed shortly after by No. 4 seed Vanderbilt advancing to the semifinals with a 75-68 win over No. 5 seed Tennessee.

The semifinals are now set. Ole Miss will face Arkansas after the Razorbacks pulled off a 82-79 win over No. 11 seed Oklahoma behind another standout performance from star guard Darius Acuff Jr. Florida will play Vanderbilt on the other side of the bracket. 

The winners of those games will play for the SEC title on Sunday.
