Arky/Tenn on Friday night will be an elimination game. Loser is out. Tennessee NEVER does well in the SEC tourney.

I don't think loser is out. If Arkansas wins the first game against Carolina/Auburn we are in IMO. Losing to Tennessee isn't enough for the committee to leave us completely out of the tournament. My guess is we would get a 12 seed play in game if we lose on Friday.

If Tennessee loses on Friday, I still think they are in, most likely as an 11 seed play in.

Eta: beating Carolina or Auburn obviously isn't much, but losing that game would put us in the NIT. It's not so much winning the game as it is not losing that will keep us in.
