SEC Women's Basketball Tournament: aka "Operation: Git-R-Done"

Disclaimer: my company can't ever just call a project/initiative what it is. It always has to have a ridiculous name like "Project Sierra" or "Operation: CONVERSION" or "Yes, We Can! 2013". Apparently this has rubbed off as I couldn't just call this the SEC Women's Tournament: that's boring and logical! Hence "Operation: Git-R-Done". (Because "Operation: OH. MY!" and "Operation: This was not the plan in November!" seemed silly.)

UK Hoops, having wrapped up their season 22-7, 10-6 in the SEC come into the SEC tourney ranked #4th. Great news, we get a first AND second day bye! Bad news...from there we're not going to have an easy road of it. Before we can discuss further, we should look at the full bracket in all its hand-wringing glory.
