This shocking loss drops the Volunteers to third place in the SEC, now a full game behind Texas A&amp;M and three games behind Alabama. The matchup last night was not without fireworks, as the Commodores won on a buzzer beater three-pointer to take down 6th ranked Tennessee 66-65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">VANDERBILT UPSETS NO. 6 TENNESSEE AT THE BUZZER \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\ude31 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CpTkjup76y\">pic.twitter.com\/CpTkjup76y<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SEC Network (@SECNetwork) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SECNetwork\/status\/1623501855555825669?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The loss puts Tennessee in a precarious spot as we head down the final stretch of the regular season. Of course, they are a lock for the NCAA Tournament and will still likely secure a No. 2 seed, but you have to think their chances of winning an SEC regular season title are all but completely dashed at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With another convincing win from Alabama over Florida last night, the Crimson Tide have moved to 11-0 in-conference and have a very comfortable lead. While their toughest games still remain with road matchups against Auburn, Tennessee, and now-second-place Texas A&amp;M, it would take quite the collapse for Alabama not to secure their second SEC title in the past three years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8397034184478847\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- header new -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8397034184478847\" data-ad-slot=\"3886828057\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Tennessee will take on Missouri in Knoxville on Saturday, and Texas A&amp;M will head to Baton Rouge to take on a struggling LSU squad. Keep an eye on Arkansas down the stretch, who likely cannot compete for a regular season title, but will soon get back star freshman Nick Smith Jr., who could change the whole dynamic of a Hogs team that has been playing much better as of late. They have a home matchup against a tough Mississippi State team on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the marquee game of the weekend will be the Iron Bowl of Basketball in Auburn. The reeling Tigers, losers of four of their last five, could use a huge win desperately. Alabama, who has recovered extremely well from the disaster two weeks ago at Oklahoma, wants to keep their in-conference undefeated streak alive and take down their most hated rival in the process.
