Game 1: No.12 Missouri (5-13) vs. No.13 Georgia (2-16)

Watch: SECN Time: 7:00 pm ET

Billy Williford prediction: Missouri

Billy: These games are always hard to pick. Missouri and Georgia just met in the second to last game of the season. The Tigers held Georiga to 39 points! 39!

The Bulldogs aren’t good either. They rank near the bottom of the conference in three-point percentage and effective field goal percentage. I like Missouri to win in a close on.

Caleb Calhoun prediction: Missouri

Caleb: The Missouri Tigers just beat the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens by 25 points. What do you think they’re going to do to the Dawgs in Nashville, which is a bit more accessible for any Mizzou fans who might want to show up? Cuonzo Martin’s team won two of its final three games and nearly beat the Ole Miss Rebels. They’ll hold off the Dawgs.

Game 2: No.11 Texas A&M (6-12) vs. No.14 Vanderbilt (0-18)

Watch: SECN Time: 9:00 pm ET

Billy Williford prediction: Vanderbilt

Billy: As much as I would like to see Vanderbilt lose and truly finish the season without an SEC win, I don’t think they will. Honestly, both teams have checked out. The Aggies even fired Billy Kennedy after eight years with the program.

If you are in Nashville, I am sure you can get into these games for free. Plus, you’ll get to see the Commodores win for the first time in 2019.

Caleb Calhoun prediction: Vanderbilt

Caleb: The Vanderbilt Commodores gave the Texas A&M Aggies a fight just two weeks ago on the road. Now, the two are facing in Nashville. And A&M is still without TJ Starks. What does that spell? Upset city. Vandy gets its first conference win in the tournament.
