The 2018 SEC Tournament has been a fun one thus far, and that will hopefully continue in Friday’s quarterfinal action.

This is the day when we’ll see the top four seeds in action following their double byes. While Thursday’s action featured highlight finishes and a buzzer beater, the real story was the return of star Missouri freshman Michael Porter Jr.

A top-two high school recruit in nearly every recruiting service, Porter hadn’t appeared in a game since the beginning of the regular season due to a back injury, but he returned Thursday in Missouri’s 62-60 loss to Georgia.

As you can imagine, Porter looked rusty in his first game back, finishing with 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting. He did hit a late three that nearly helped the Tigers rally for the win while chipping in eight boards, but it was Georgia and AP SEC Player of the Year Yante Maten that advanced.

The biggest highlight of the day came when Collin Sexton hit a shot as time expired to give Alabama a 71-70 win over Texas A&M. That win has vaulted the Tide into the final 4-8 teams in of most bracketologies, but a win over Auburn in Friday’s action would lock up a spot.

Speaking of teams needing a deep SEC run, Georgia has already won two games just to get to Friday’s action. The Bulldogs were pretty far off the bubble entering the tournament, so they need to at least get to Sunday to have any hope of scoring an at-large bid, and they probably need to win the whole thing.

Kentucky will look to prevent that while boosting their seed line with a deep run in St. Louis. They narrowly beat Georgia in Rupp Arena earlier this season, and Friday figures to be another hard-fought game, especially with Jarred Vanderbilt likely out.

Of all the teams in action Friday, Georgia and Mississippi State are the only teams projected to miss the NCAA Tournament. That speaks to just how good this league with six of eight teams in action likely to make the Big Dance, and Mississippi State could also make it with 1-2 more wins.
