The second day of SEC Tournament action provided plenty of drama as one of the toughest leagues in college basketball history whittled its postseason field to just eight teams. No. 8 seed Ole Miss began the day with an 83-80 win over No. 9 seed Arkansas when Sean Pedulla hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left.

Touting eight teams ranked inside the top 25 - and four inside the top 10 - the SEC has a strong case for the best conference in college basketball. The talent will be on full display in Nashville, Tennessee,

The Razorbacks survived a scare from South Carolina in the tournament’s first game Wednesday and won 72-68. ESPN analyst Joe Lunardi took Arkansas off his projected NCAA Tournament bubble and wrote that they are safely in the field following the victory.
