The SEC Tournament rolls on at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville (Tenn.) with the Semifinal Round set to tipoff on Saturday afternoon with a berth to the title game on the line.

In what will be a massive day in Nashville, the Arkansas Razorbacks, Ole Miss Rebels, Florida Gators, and Vanderbit Commodores will take the court after Friday wins.

"There's no excuses here. You might see that narrative. But depth is one thing that we have on our team. We were prepared to play as many players as we needed to tonight," Ole Miss head coach Chris Beard said on Friday night.

"That was the thing, we set the tone this morning. Same routine that we've had the last two or three days here in Nashville. We're not going to buy into this deal where it's three games in three days."

Now, with Day 4 of the SEC Tournament set to tip-off, what does the updated bracket look like?
