Here's a look at the SEC standings following Saturday's results.

With an exciting comeback victory over Mississippi State, Vanderbilt's magic number to clinch a spot in SEC Tournament is down to one. Either one Commodore victory or one Alabama loss in the final four conference games puts VU in Hoover.

Vanderbilt (38-13, 14-10 SEC) is still in sixth place in the standings, but only one game back of Auburn, Arkansas and Ole Miss for the third best conference record.
