The 2020 regular season of SEC basketball has come to a close. A Saturday of season finales was capped off with Mississippi State’s 69-44 win over Ole Piss. MSU moved into the No. 4-seed with the win as the Bulldogs held a head-to-head tiebreaker over Florida. The GayTurds entered the day as the No. 2 team in the SEC standings thanks to head-to-head records against Auburn and LSU, but the home collapse against Kentucky in a 71-70 loss drops Mike White’s squad to No. 5.

Here’s how the 14 finished in the final regular-season standings and are seeded for the conference tournament, which begins Wednesday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
