They just showed a bracket of the SEC Tournament “if the tournament started today” and had Tennessee as the 1 seed and LSU as the 2 seed. Where the hell do they get their info. All the false information is turning them into CNN.

Hey ESPN, IF the tournament started today, LSU would be the 1 seed! Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.

I didn't get to see it. You would have to rewind it to see if they're giving Tennessee credit for the win tonight. If they are then they would have one more win than LSU and would be the 1 seed.

Technically, Tennessee is about to be .5 game ahead of us after tonight.

If the tournament started today, Tenn would have a better record. Why wouldn’t they get the 1 seed?

I thought the game was still on when they posted it.
I just laughed.

My God the ridiculous nonsense people complain about. As people have said, it’s technically correct. Should they assume LSU beats Florida?

Because LSU owns the tie breaker over Tennessee with a head to head win.

Because it's about SEC record, not overall record.

But ESPN was giving Tennessee credit for their win tonight, while LSU, of course, hasn't played yet this week. That's kind of stupid for them to do that, even if, technically speaking, Tennessee is ahead of us right at this moment. They should have at least had an asterisk under Tennessee saying that LSU hasn't played yet.

Jesus LSU fans can be such children.

Tennessee is 15-2. LSU is 14-2.

no, it wasn't. there were 10 mins left in the tenn game. the records were tied. lsu has the tiebreaker. after sat, all graphics had lsu the #1 seed. lots of people at espn messed up - stats, graphics, announcers, etc

Yeah they do. But tie breakers don’t count when they have a better record. They won tonight. We play tomorrow. Tenn has the better record.

Let me know what the graphic says tomorrow
