What Kentucky needs to do to win the 2018 SEC Tournament

The Kentucky Wildcats are the defending SEC champions, but they will have their work cut out for them if they want to win the 2018 SEC Tournament. Kentucky is the No. 5 seed in the SEC Tournament and will face the No. 12 seed Missouri Tigers in the first round on Thursday.

If Kentucky wants to win the SEC Tournament, they will likely have to go through some tough competition. Here is a look at what Kentucky needs to do to win the 2018 SEC Tournament:

– Win the first game: The first game is always the most important in any tournament. If Kentucky wants to win the SEC Tournament, they will need to win their first game against Missouri.

– Win the final game Assuming Kentucky wins their first game, they will face the No. 4 seed Auburn Tigers in the quarterfinals. Auburn is a tough team, but Kentucky has beaten them twice this season. If Kentucky can win this game, they will be in good position to make a run at the SEC Tournament title.

– Win the semifinal game: The semifinal game is always a tough one, no matter who you re Playing If Kentucky can get past Auburn, they will likely face either Florida or Tennessee in the semifinals. Both of these teams are good, but Kentucky has beaten both of them this season. If Kentucky can win this game, they will be one step closer to winning the SEC Tournament title.

– Win the final game: The final game is always the toughest in any tournament. If Kentucky can get past Florida or Tennessee, they will likely face either Texas A&M or Arkansas in the final game. These are two good teams, but again, Kentucky has beaten both of them this season. If Kentucky can win this game, they will be crowned SEC Tournament champions for the second straight year.
