Tournament time is here, and the entire SEC is about to ascend on Nashville for the annual men’s basketball tournament. Tennessee is the defending champion, capturing the crown down in Tampa Bay last year. The Volunteers are the No. 5 seed this year and will open their tournament on Thursday.
Alabama ran through conference play to capture the top seed, while Texas A&M picked up the No. 2 seed. Kentucky and Missouri landed the 3/4, respectively.
The Tournament will begin on Wednesday night, as Ole Miss and South Carolina square off for the right to play Tennessee. Georgia and LSU will follow, playing for the right to play sixth-seeded Vanderbilt.
Despite missing out on the double-bye, Tennessee still owns the second best odds to win the SEC Tournament, per DraftKings Sportsbook. Alabama is still the heavy favorite, even though they had a shaky end to their regular season. Kentucky and Texas A&M come in next, while every other team is considerably further down the board.
