NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Even the lower seeds' games are coming down to the wire. Fans of all 14 SEC schools are painting Broadway with their school colors. The tournament runs until Sunday when this year's SEC champ will be crowned under the rafters of Bridgestone Arena. Every year the tournament draws fans from every school, but 2013 is getting some new flavor, with fans from Texas A&M and Missouri getting in on the Music City action for the first time. No matter which teams they support, they all seem to be big fans of Nashville.
"Well I just got here, but I've always enjoyed the tournament when it was held here in Nashville in the past," says Mississippi fan Jim Sneed.
"It's very cool," says Alabama fan Dennis Wells. "Nashville is probably the best city to come to, Broadway and everything is such a happening place, it's probably our favorite place to come."
"It's just a fun place," says Bob and Joy Sullivan. "Music City, lots to do."
The winners of tonight's games get to stay in Nashville another night. The hometown Commodores take on Arkansas.

Storms from Okla. weakening as they move to Tenn.
May 21, 2013 17:23 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The storm system that brought devastation to central Oklahoma is expected to weaken before moving into Tennessee.
The National Weather Service updated its guidance to include all but the mountains of East Tennessee in an area that has a slight risk of severe thunderstorms through Wednesday morning.
Meteorologist Brittney Coleman with the NWS office in Nashville said high wind and hail are the major threats with the storm system. The slight probability of severe storms was extended Tuesday through the Tennessee River Valley.
NWS forecaster John Sirmon in the Memphis office said rain falling Tuesday morning in West Tennessee would help ensure the approaching heavier line of thunderstorms doesn't run into unstable air. The line is expected to move across the Mississippi River between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday.
