2022 SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament: Updated Bracket After Wednesday’s Games

Vanderbilt and Missouri will try to ride Wednesday's victories to Thursday upsets.

Only four SEC teams played to kick off the SEC Tournament on Wednesday, but two completed comfortable victories.

First, Missouri rode a 40–28 second half to defeat Ole Miss 72–60 and advance to the second round. After, Vanderbilt blew past Georgia, holding the Bulldogs to 14 points after the first half, then dropping 51 in the second half for an 86–51 victory.

Both Missouri and Vanderbilt were the higher seed, keeping the SEC bracket chalk so far. On Thursday, the single-bye teams play, which is every team who finished No. 5 and below in the SEC standings.
