South Carolina and Mississippi State split their two meetings in the conference slate, with each team winning at home. The two teams played just one week ago, with the Gamecocks taking a 79-72 victory. The winner advances to face Tennessee on Thursday.
Texas A&M defeated Auburn on the road in the only meeting between the two teams in the regular season. The Tigers dropped 15 of their final 16 SEC games after starting 2-0. Missouri awaits the survivor and is likely hoping for Auburn to advance. The Aggies upset their fellow SEC newcomer earlier this year.
